Recipe - Golden Egg Bread (Challah)

1 pack Yeast
3 cup Flour
4 tablespoon Sugar
2 Eggs
6 tablespoon Vegetable oil; corn
1 One half teaspoon Salt
Three fourths cup Water; warm
Optional:
One half cup Dried fruit; chopped
1/3 cup Almonds; chopped
One half teaspoon Almond extract

Combine all ingredients in the pan in the order listed and select white
bread; push start When I make this into Challa, I remove from the
breadmaker after the manual mode stops; let rise; braid*; and put an egg
wash over the challa. Then bake in a 350 degree oven until a light toasty
brown. I usually sprinkle on some type of seeds (sesame or poppy) after the
egg wash.

*Braiding in the flat manner. The middle one goes under and over; never
across.
