Challah Bread

  Challah is a yeast-risen bread that is traditionally 

eaten by Jewish people on Shabbat, ceremonial occasions and during festivals. But besides that it

also a delicious hand made bread that you could eat

on breakfast or in any other time.

Ingredients: 

1. Margarin - 4 table spoon
2.Yeast - 1 small bag
3. Sugar - 0,5 cup
4. Warm water - 1 cup
5. Hot water - 1 cup
6. Salt - 1 tbl.spoon
7. Eggs - 2
8. Flor - 5 cup (+extra if you need)

Direction:

Put together:
margarin, sugar and salt and add 1 cup of HOT water. 
Melt everything.

Put yeast into cup with WARM water and mix till it's dissolve.
Then add into mixture and mix well.

Beat eggs and add into mixture, mix well.

Add flour one by one and mix well.

You need to have a stiff dough in the end. If it's not add more flour.











- After your dough is stiff enough take a big dish, cover it with olive oil, place the dough into it and put in warm place. When you will see that dough double its size place it into cooler over night.

- On the next day, take it out of the cooler and place on the cooking table.

Cut into pieces and make a strings out of it (not so long)
about 1 fit or longer.

Start to twist two of them into spiral.

Continue till the end.







Continue doing it till you finish your dough. Usually it's coming out about 6-7 small challah.

- place you Challah on the tray covered with baking paper. 

- Take one beaten egg and cover Challah with it. 

Take sesame seeds or puppy seeds and sprinkle them on top of the Challah 
(you could also keep your Challah without them) 

Place into cold oven and put on 350F for about 30 minutes + 10 min preheating time.
Usually you have to leave your bread in warm place till it's become double size and after this place into preheated oven for 30 min. 
  We will put it into cold oven and it's will rise over there while oven is warming up. So we will safe some time;)

  Your indicator of readiness in the end will be the color of the Challah. It should be close to medium brown.
