Recipe - Challah-Bread Machine

1 cup Warm Water
2 One fourth teaspoon Yeast (not rapid rise but
the regular jar kind)
One half cup (scant) Sugar
One half cup (scant) vegetable oil
2 teaspoon Salt (up to 3)
1 Whole egg plus
1 Egg yolk
4 cup Flour

Put into bread machine in the order listed.

Set the machine on Sweet Dough. After the machine is done, let it the dough
rise again in the machine. I then punch it down, take it out, and put it
into an oiled bowl and cover it. I let it sit for about an hour (If I have
time, If I don't then I skip this rise) I then, punch it down, and make my
braids. (I do a four braid). This will make 2 med loafs or one large loaf.
Put the Challah (or challot) on greased cookie sheet(s), cover and let rise
for an hour. Before baking, brush with a beaten egg mixed with a bit of
water, sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds. Bake at 325 for 3045 minutes,
until golden brown.
