Challah Bread

Ingredients:

1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 1/4 ounces active dry yeast, about 2 1/4 teaspoons
3/4 cup warm water, about 100 to 110 degrees
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
nonstick cooking spray
2 tablespoons water
1 large egg yolk, lightly beaten

Directions:

1 Dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water in a large bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Add oil and egg, stirring with a whisk. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Add flour and salt to yeast mixture; beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth.

2 Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes). Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in size. (Press two fingers into dough. If indentation remains, the dough has risen enough.).

3 Punch dough down; shape into a ball. Return dough to bowl; cover and let rise 1 hour or until doubled in size.

4 Punch dough down; turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Cover and let rest 15 minutes.

5 Divide dough-into 3 (or 6) equal portions. Working with 1 portion at a time (cover remaining dough to keep from drying), shape each portion into a 15-inch rope. Place ropes lengthwise on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray (do not stretch); pinch ends together at one end to seal. Braid ropes, and pinch loose ends together to seal. Cover and let rise 1 hour or until doubled in size.

6 Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

7 Uncover dough. Combine 2 teaspoons water and egg yolk; brush over braid. Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes or until loaf is browned on bottom and sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from pan; cool on a wire rack.

It is not "supposed" to be a single braid. There is more to the history of Challah. Use google search, I recommend wikipedia search "Challah"

Thanks for watching.
