SWEET CHALLAH
This is a sweet bread that is really easy to make. It is so good that a 30-year-old man who was a guest at my Shabbat Table actually giggled when he ate it. The doughier you want the bread to be, the shorter you should bake it.

Steps:
- Mix the yeast, 1/3 cup of sugar, and warm water together in a large bowl, stir to dissolve the sugar, and let the mixture stand until a creamy layer forms on top, about 5 minutes. Stir in 3 cups of flour to make a loose sponge.
- In a separate bowl, beat 4 eggs, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon of salt, and 1 cup of sugar together, and stir the egg mixture into the yeast-flour mixture until well combined. Continue mixing in flour, 1 cup at a time, up to 9 total cups. Dough should be slightly sticky, but not so wet that it leaves dough stuck to your hands.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead for 5 minutes to develop gluten. Form the dough into a compact round shape, and place in an oiled bowl. Turn the dough over several times in the bowl to oil the surface of the dough, cover the bowl with a cloth, and let rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Punch down the dough and knead for another 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Grease baking sheets, or line with parchment paper. To make egg glaze, whisk together 1 egg, 1 teaspoon oil, 2 teaspoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon of water in a small bowl, and refrigerate until needed.
- Cut the dough into 4 pieces, and cut each piece into 3 smaller pieces for a 3-strand braided loaf. Working on a floured surface, roll the small dough pieces 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. Place the loaves onto the prepared baking sheets, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 30 to 45 minutes. Brush a coating of egg glaze onto the tops of the bread, and reserve the remaining glaze.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, remove from the oven, and brush another coating of glaze onto the bread. Return to the oven, and bake until the tops are shiny and golden brown, 5 to 10 more minutes. Let cool before cutting.

DELICIOUS SWEET CHALLAH
This is from Kosher by Design by Susie Fishbein. It uses 5 lbs of flour, enough to warrant the making of the special blessing over bread dough. It is very sweet and wonderful. I used natural sugar for it; even more wonderful.

Steps:
- Proof the yeast: Place the 1/2 cup warm water, yeast, 1 tbl sugar in a large glass measuring cup or bowl. Set aside until yeast gets bubbly.
- In a separate bowl, combine the 2 cups sugar, boiling water, salt, and oil.
- Crack eggs into large bowl (or your mixer bowl). Add proofed yeast, mix again. Add the sugar/water mixture. Mix thoroughly.
- Add the flour in batches, incorporating well each time.
- Knead dough for 10-15 minutes, adding flour as needed until you get that earlobe texture.
- Place dough in a large bowl (greased), cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place for about 2 hours, punching down in the interim.
- Turn out dough onto floured surface. Separate the piece of dough with the blessing if you make it.
- Divide dough into 6-7 pieces, and shape into challah according to your favorite style. (You can braid three strands, four strands, six strands -- whatever!).
- (At this point you can freeze some of the shaped challot to bake later on.).
- Let rise another 30 minutes or so.
- Brush each loaf with beaten egg. Sprinkle with seeds.
- Bake at 350F for about 30 minutes or until it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
MIRJ'S ULTRA-RICH SWEET CHALLAH
I've been working on perfecting my challah recipe over the last few years, and I think this is it. The secret ingredients are vanilla extract and soy milk (you can use regular milk if it's not an issue for you). I get raves every week with this challah, it's rich and cake-like. Great with sweet butter, not too shabby with some chopped liver, and it makes the most amazing French toast in the world. I usually bake my challahs unbraided in a fluted cake pan with a hole in the middle. It makes a pretty challah, and it's easy to cut individual slices from it as well. There is nothing like a table full of guests ooohing and aaaahing over your challah, and this will do it for you! Prep time includes rise time. If you nuke the kneaded dough in the microwave on high for 10 seconds it will cut your rise time by half!

Steps:
- In the bowl of your mixer, or in large bowl, add the flour, brown sugar, eggs, salt and vanilla.
- Mix it around a bit.
- Melt the margarine, or heat the oil a bit in the microwave.
- Add it to the stuff in the bowl and start mixing.
- Toss in the yeast, keep mixing.
- If you are using an electric mixer, go slowly.
- If you are kneading by hand, you should get a good workout.
- Heat the soy milk until it's warm.
- It should not be boiling hot!
- Slowly, with the mixer running, add the soy milk a little bit at a time, until the dough has reached the consistency of bread dough.
- It shouldn't be cakey and it shouldn't be too sticky.
- Knead the dough in the mixer for about 7-8 minutes, or by hand for about 15 minutes.
- Place the bowl in a warm spot and let the dough rise until doubled in bulk.
- Hint: if you put the bowl of dough in the microwave and nuke it on high for 10 seconds it will speed up the rising process.
- You can also let it rise overnight in the fridge, just keep it in a knotted plastic bag so it doesn't"escape".
- When the dough has risen and doubled, punch it down.
- It's a very satisfying step!
- Knead the dough by hand for another minute or so to work out the air bubbles.
- Cut into three even pieces.
- Each piece is enough for one small loaf of challah.
- Cut each piece into three or four, roll into ropes and braid.
- The best braids are made by starting in the middle and working your way to the end, then turn it around and braid the other end.
- Pinch off the ends.
- After you have shaped your loaf (you can also swirl it, or braid and swirl it, or just shape it into a natural loaf shape), place it either in a greased loaf pan, cake pan, or just on a greased cookie sheet.
- If you bake your loaf on a sheet it will spread a bit as it rises again.
- If you put your braided loaf into a loaf tin, it will just rise upwards.
- I have also made round challahs by putting them into bundt pans, or fluted round cake pans.
- Let the shaped loaves rise for another half an hour.
- You can brush a little beaten egg on the tops for a glaze, I prefer my challahs"naked".
- Preheat the oven to 160 degrees C (about 350 F).
- Bake the loaves for about 30-40 minutes.
- Time will vary based on the shape of your loaves and the pans they are in.
- If the tops start to brown too soon, just place a sheet of silver foil over them, resting lightly on the tops.
- The challah is done when you turn out the loaf, give it a knock-knock on the bottom and it sounds hollow.
- Let it cool.
- If this recipe makes too much for you, you can either freeze the dough, or the baked challahs.
- Best eaten with sweet butter, also makes the most amazing French toast.

- Dissolve yeast in 1 cup warm water in a large bowl; stir in honey and saffron threads. Let stand for 5 minutes. Add melted butter, 1 teaspoon salt, and egg; stir well with a whisk.
- Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Add 2 3/4 cups flour to yeast mixture, and stir until a soft dough forms. Cover and let stand for 15 minutes.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes); add enough of remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands (dough will be very soft).
- Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 40 minutes or until doubled in size. (Gently press two fingers into dough. If indentation remains, the dough has risen enough.)
