Recipe - Bistro Challah Bread

One fourth cup Active dry yeast
1 cup Sugar
3 One half cup Warm water; (about 110
degrees)
1 cup Unsalted butter; melted and
cooled
; slightly
8 Eggs
10 cup Flour; up to 12
1 tablespoon Salt

Place yeast, sugar, and warm water in a mixing bowl. Stir and let
stand for about 10 minutes, until creamy and foamy. Add melted butter
and eggs and mix well.

Combine flour with salt, and add flour to mixture, 1 or 2 cups at a
time, until mixture forms a soft dough. Pour dough out onto a
wellfloured board and knead until dough becomes smooth and elastic,
about 5 minutes. Place dough in a large, wellgreased bowl, then flip
dough over to coat with oil. Cover with plastic wrap or a towel and
let stand in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Punch dough down and cut into 3 pieces.
Form into 3 loaves and place in 3 greased loaf pans. Bake for about 1
hour, or until bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Let cool before slicing.

Makes three loaves.
