Recipe - Lorris Holiday Challah In The Bread Machine

1 One half teaspoon Yeast
2 One half cup Bread flour
One fourth cup Sugar
One half teaspoon Salt
3 tablespoon Melted butter
2 Yolks
2/3 cup 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 89" 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 @ 3040 minutes, until
nicely browned.
