Ingredients
For Challah
- 1/4 oz instant yeast
- 3 1/2 Cups flour
- 1/2 Cup sugar
- 1 Teaspoon salt
- 3/4 Cups water
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 Cup vegetable oil
For Topping
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 Teaspoon water
- 1/2 Teaspoon flour
- 1/2 Teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 Teaspoon water
- sesame seeds
Instructions
- In the bowl of a mixer, pour in the yeast, flour, sugar, salt, water and eggs
- Using a dough hook, mix on medium - high speed for 5 minutes
- Add the oil slowly and continue mixing until the dough is soft and has absorbed all the oil. About 10 minutes
- Remove from mixer, sprinkle some flour on top of the dough and cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel
- Place the bowl in a dark place away from drafts to proof (Could be inside an oven, as long as it turned off). For 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the dough has tripled its size
- Remove dough from bowl and onto a floured surface. If it seems to sticky, add some more dough and mix until you get a nice round ball
- Divide the ball into 3 equal parts. Roll each part into a long rope
- Attach the 3 ends of the ropes together and braid into a challah shape
- Place the challah in a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or silicone mat
- Cover with a kitchen towel and let it proof for 30 minutes
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
- In a small bowl, combine the egg yolk, water, sugar and flour
- Brush the yolk mixture on top of the bread, covering each nook and cranny
- Sprinkle in the sesame seeds
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until browned on top
- Enjoy!
- Brush the top of the bread with yolk mixture
