2/3 c water
2 eggs
2 TBL vegetable oil
2 TBL sugar
1 tsp salt
3-3 1/4 c bread flour
1 1/2 tsp yeast
1 egg, beaten for glaze
poppy seeds, optional
Using the dough cycle on your bread machine, put the above ingredients in the order they appear above. Start your dough cycle. When dough cycle is complete, remove dough from your machine and divide into 3 pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 14 inches long and braid on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise for about 45 minutes. Brush top with egg glaze and sprinkle with poppy seeds, if you desire. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees oven for 45 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
*Challah is a very light and wonderful tasting bread. The dough is somewhat moist and you should add only enough flour to prevent sticking, either while in machine or after the dough has been removed.*
