Title: Challah
Categories: Bread machi, Dough cycle
Yield: 1 Servings

2 1/2 ts Active Dry Yeast
5 c All-purpose flour
1/4 c Sugar
1/4 c Honey
1 ts Salt
1 c Hot Water; (120 Deg. F)
1/2 c Oil
2 Whole eggs

Put all ingredients into the bread machine in the order above. Go through
the kneading and rising processes on your machine. After the bread has
risen, take it to a floured board and cut the ball of dough into 8 equal
parts.

Take three parts and make a braid, take three more and make another braid.

Take the remaining two parts and cut each into three equal parts. Braid the
two smaller braids and set one on top of each larger braid. Cover with a
cloth and allow to rise for one half hour. Brush with diluted egg yolk,
sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds (if desired) and bake in a 350 degree
oven for 50 minutes or until golden brown.
