1 1/2 ts Yeast
2 1/2 c Bread flour
1/4 c Sugar
1/2 ts Salt
3 tb Melted butter
2 Yolks
2/3 c Apple juice
Put the ingredients in your machine in your usual order, on the White Dough
cycle. Try not to peek during the rise time.
Dump the dough onto a lightly floured board, divide into 3 sections,
stretch to about 8-9″ ropes, and braid. ( Other shapes such as big circles
ringed together are also exquisite).In the meantime, heat oven to Warm.
When temperature is reached, TURN THE OVEN OFF. Put the challah braid onto
a greased cookie sheet .Place in warmed oven for half an hour to rise.
Remove from oven and now preheat the oven to 350. Apply a glaze by brushing
with a mixture of an egg yolk and a tablespoon of water. Sprinkle with
sesame or other seeds, if you like. Bake at 350 for @ 30-40 minutes, until
nicely browned.
