BREAD MACHINE CHALLAH II

Steps:

• Place warm water, sugar, honey, vegetable oil, salt, 2 eggs, flour and yeast in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select Dough cycle; press Start.
• After the machine is done, take the dough out, and place it on a very lightly floured board, punch the dough down, and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Divide the dough in half. Then divide into 3 equal pieces, roll into ropes about 12 to 14 inches, and braid into a loaf. Do the same with the remaining other half. Gently put the loaves on a greased cookie sheet, mist with water, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours in a warm, draft free place, until double in size.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a small bowl, beat together 1 egg and 1 tablespoon water.
• Brush risen loaves with egg mixture. Bake in preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes. If it begins to brown too soon, cover with foil.

CHALLAH BREAD IN BREAD MACHINE (SALLYE)

Steps:

• 1. Cut butter into small pieces, and place in saucepan with milk and sugar. Over medium heat bring to a boil. Remove from heat and set aside to cool to 110º-115º. NOTE: If milk is too hot, it will kill lthe yeast action. If you don't have a thermometer, test the milk on the inside of your wrist. It should be just barely lukearm. Sift flour and set aside.
• 2. Whisk 2 eggs until light and frothy When milk is at proper temperature, add the eggs and salt to the milk and pour into bread machine pan.
• 3. Carefullly pour flour into pan, making sure that all liquid is completely covered by flour. Make small indentation in center of flour and pour yeast there.
• 4. OPTION ONE: Turn bread machine on to Dough cyclo. Machine will ding when dough cycle is complete. Remove dough from bread machine pan and place on floured work surface (waxed paper or cutting board). Cut dough into three equal pieces. Roll three pieces into long snakes about 18" long. Braid the snakes together into a loaf and tuck the ends under. Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle with cornmeal. Transfer the braided loaf to the baking sheet. Cover loaf with a clean towel or cheesecloth and let rise until nearly doubled in size (about 1 hour).
• 5. Preheat oven to 350º Whisk the remaining egg and 1 tablespoon cold water together until light and frothy. With basting brush, lightly baste loaf evenly with egg wash. Sprinkle immediately with poppy seeds to taste.
• 6. Cook in middle rack of oven for 50-55 minutes until loaves are golden brown and sound hollow when bottoms are thumped. Cool completely on racks before wrapping. Be sure and sneak a piece with honeyed butter while it's still hot (for quality control purposes of course).
• 7. OPTION TWO: ALTERNATE METHOD FOR BAKING BREAD COMPLETELY IN BREAD MACHINE: If you don't want to braid the dough, use this method. Follow instructions steps 1 and 2 above. Skip instructions steps 3 through 6 above Turn bread machine to basic cycle, crust to medium. When cycle is complete, remove from bread machine and brush the bread with egg wash (1 egg & 1 tablespoon of water whisked briskly). Place in 350º oven for 5 minutes to "seal" the egg wash. Or, you can skip the egg wash and just brush with melted butter (Either way is fine).

CHALLAH BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• In a small bowl, soak the saffron threads in the 1 tablespoon of boiling water for 10 minutes.
• In the meantime, place the beaten eggs, honey, hot water and melted butter in a bowl. Mix well.
• Add the saffron threads with the soaking water, stir and pour the mixture into the baking pan of your bread machine.
• Mix the salt into the flour and add to the baking pan and spoon the yeast on top.
• Set the program to 'DOUGH.'.
• When the dough is ready (mine takes 90 minutes), transfer it to a lightly floured surface and knead it for 2-3 minutes. (The dough will feel quite soft and silky.).
• Shape the dough into 3 equal-sized pieces, then roll each piece into a sausage shape measuring approximately 12 inches in length.
• Pinch the top end of each length of dough together, then weave the pieces into a braid/plait.
• Pinch the bottom ends together, then tuck both ends under the dough to form a neatly braided loaf.
• Place the dough on a greased baking sheet, brush with oil, cover with plastic wrap/cling film and leave it to rise/prove in a warm place.
• Preheat the oven 220C/425°F.
• When the dough has nearly doubled in size, remove the plastic wrap and lightly brush the top of the loaf with the beaten egg.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Transfer the loaf to a wire rack and leave it to cool before serving.

BREAD MACHINE CHALLAH FOR SHABBAT AND FESTIVALS

Steps:

• Place the warm water, salt, sugar, margarine, egg, bread flour, and yeast in the pan of a bread machine in that order, set the machine to the dough setting, and start the machine.
• When the dough cycle of the machine is finished, place the dough on a floured surface. Divide the dough into 3 pieces, and roll them into ropes about the thickness of your thumb and about 12 inches long. Ropes should be fatter in the middle and thinner at the ends. Pinch 3 ropes together at the top and braid them. Starting with the strand to the right, move it to the left over the middle strand (that strand becomes the new middle strand.) Take the strand farthest to the left, and move it over the new middle strand. Continue braiding, alternating sides each time, until the loaf is braided, and pinch the ends together and fold them underneath for a neat look.
• Grease a baking sheet, or line with parchment paper, and place the braided challah on the prepared sheet. Cover the loaf with a plastic bag to prevent drying out, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Whisk together 1 egg, 1 tablespoon of water, and vanilla in a small bowl, and brush the glaze on the challah. Sprinkle with optional toppings (see footnote).
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped, 35 to 40 minutes.
