This challah recipe with quick-rise yeast is a sweeter, richer challah that is great for Rosh Hashanah or other holiday uses. It is quicker and easier than a standard double-rise recipe, so it’s great for those afternoons when you’re in a challah of a hurry. Challah was meant to be torn and not sliced. B’tayevon!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
- 1 cup margarine, melted
- ¾ cup white sugar
- 1 egg, beaten
- 4 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 7 ½ cups bread flour
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds (Optional)
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (Optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, blend together warm water, melted margarine, sugar, and 3 beaten eggs.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix together yeast, salt, and 7 cups of flour. Gradually stir in liquid ingredients, and mix until dough holds together.
Step 3
Knead dough on a floured surface with remaining flour until smooth.
Step 4
Split dough into 2 large pieces. Split 2 large pieces into 3 pieces each. Roll each third into a rope 3/4 inch thick and braid 3 strands together. Repeat. Place shaped dough onto greased cookie sheets. Brush dough with remaining beaten egg. Add poppy or sesame seeds, if desired. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
Step 5
Bake in a preheated 325-degree F (165-degrees C) oven for 20 to 30 minutes.
