List of Ingredients




8 cups flour -- (8 to 9)
3/4 cup sugar -- (3/4 to 1)
1 tablespoon salt
2 ounces yeast
2 1/2 cups lukewarm water
1/2 cup oil
5 eggs


Recipe



Mix together 2 1/2 cups flour with sugar, salt yeast (no need to dissolve first), water and oil. Mix in 4 eggs. Beat in 1 1/2 cups flour very well. Add 4-5 cups flour until a very soft dough is formed.

Knead for 10 to 15 minutes. Let rise 1-2 hours, or refrigerate overnight and then let warm to room temperature for 1-2 hours.

Make balls, roll them into ropes and braid. Let rise covered for 1/2 - 1 hour. Make an egg wash by beating the remaining egg. Brush on the challah.


Bake in a preheated oven at 325¼F for 30 minutes. Apply the egg wash once more and bake another 30 minutes at 350¼F.


Makes 4 medium sized challahs.
