DELICIOUS SWEET CHALLAH
This is from Kosher by Design by Susie Fishbein. It uses 5 lbs of flour, enough to warrant the making of the special blessing over bread dough. It is very sweet and wonderful. I used natural sugar for it; even more wonderful.

Steps:
- Proof the yeast: Place the 1/2 cup warm water, yeast, 1 tbl sugar in a large glass measuring cup or bowl. Set aside until yeast gets bubbly.
- In a separate bowl, combine the 2 cups sugar, boiling water, salt, and oil.
- Crack eggs into large bowl (or your mixer bowl). Add proofed yeast, mix again. Add the sugar/water mixture. Mix thoroughly.
- Add the flour in batches, incorporating well each time.
- Knead dough for 10-15 minutes, adding flour as needed until you get that earlobe texture.
- Place dough in a large bowl (greased), cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place for about 2 hours, punching down in the interim.
- Turn out dough onto floured surface. Separate the piece of dough with the blessing if you make it.
- Divide dough into 6-7 pieces, and shape into challah according to your favorite style. (You can braid three strands, four strands, six strands -- whatever!).
- (At this point you can freeze some of the shaped challot to bake later on.).
- Let rise another 30 minutes or so.
- Brush each loaf with beaten egg. Sprinkle with seeds.
- Bake at 350F for about 30 minutes or until it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
CHALLAH
What's wonderful about challah is that it can be used in so many ways: to sanctify the Sabbath, of course, but just as important, to make French toast, grilled cheese, and croutons and as breading in meatballs. Maybe not the way God intended it, but I'm sure She understands. Israel is the land of milk and honey, and this challah has both. For those of you who want to stay away from milk, it's fine to substitute water.

Steps:
- 1. Heat the milk in a small saucepan over low heat just until it's warm to the touch. Remove from the heat.
- 2. Dump the flour into a large bowl and make a well in the center. Add the yeast to the well along with a few drops of honey and 1/2 cup or so of the warm milk. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
- 3. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining milk and honey, the oil, and 3 of the eggs. Stir together. Add the salt and stir again. Gradually stir the liquid mixture into the flour, about 1/2 cup at a time. When the dough becomes sticky and difficult to stir, dump onto a floured surface and knead it by hand, adding a little more flour if necessary to keep it from sticking, until smooth and elastic.
- 4. Knead the dough into a ball. Slick another large bowl with oil, add the dough, and turn to slick the surface with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let stand in a warm place until double in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- 5. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Gently punch the dough down and turn it onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into four equal portions, working with one portion at a time and keeping the rest covered with a damp cloth. Divide one portion of dough into three equal pieces and roll each piece into a rope about 1 foot long and slightly tapered at the ends. Line the ropes side by side on one side of the baking sheet and braid them, pinching the ends to seal and tucking them underneath. Repeat this process with the remaining dough until you have four nicely braided loaves. Cover with a damp cloth and let stand until nearly double in size, another 25 minutes or so.
- 6. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- 7. Lightly beat the remaining egg and brush it over the tops of the challah loaves. Sprinkle with the nigella or sesame seeds. Bake the loaves until golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes.
NADAV'S DELICIOUS CHALLAH
My friend Debbie Yakobian's son Nadav is in the Israeli army. He brought home this recipe and Debbie has started making it every Friday for the Sabbath. My family and I have been fans of this challah and today I finally got the recipe. My challahs are cooling now but we just couldn't resist and had a taste -- delicious! In spite of the fact that there are no eggs in the dough itself, the challahs are very rich tasting. Just think of what they can do for your French toast or bread pudding!

Steps:
- Sprinkle the yeast over the water in a large bowl, and stir gently to moisten the yeast. Stir in salt, sugar, margarine, and 4 eggs, and beat well. Gradually mix in the flour, 1 cup at a time, up to 12 cups, until the dough becomes slightly tacky but not wet. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Grease baking sheets, or line them with parchment paper and set aside.
- Cut the bread dough into 4 equal-sized pieces (or 2 pieces to make 2 large loaves). Cut each piece into thirds for 3-strand braided loaves. Working on a floured surface, roll the small dough pieces into ropes about the thickness of your thumb and about 12 inches long. Ropes should be fatter in the middle and thinner at the ends. Pinch 3 ropes together at the top and braid them. Starting with the strand to the right, move it to the left over the middle strand (that strand becomes the new middle strand.) Take the strand farthest to the left, and move it over the new middle strand. Continue braiding, alternating sides each time, until the loaf is braided, and pinch the ends together and fold them underneath for a neat look. Repeat for the remaining loaves.
- Place the loaves onto the prepared baking sheets, and let rise until double in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Whisk 1 egg with vanilla extract in a small bowl, and brush the loaves with the egg wash. Sprinkle each loaf with about 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are shiny and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool before slicing.

9 BEST CHALLAH RECIPES | GREATIST
From greatist.com
Author Miki Kawasaki
- Homemade Challah. Making any of the following recipes assumes you have a loaf to start off with. Just in case you don’t have one handy, our challah recipe will set you on the right track.
- Challah French Toast with Strawberries. Gently crisped and caramelized on the outside, soft and tender on the inside, French toast is simply better with a bread like challah.
- Roasted Peach and Dulce de Leche Bread Pudding. If you’ve got a loaf that’s starting to turn stale, turn it into bread pudding, Only an armful of cream, eggs, and butter could hide those rough edges and turn them into something that’s incredibly luxurious and dreamy.
- Egg in a Hole. While you could use almost any bread to make toads in the hole, eggs in a basket, or whatever you like to call a hollowed out slice, challah is especially suited for the task because of its eggy-bread-on-egg action.
- Challah Breakfast Casserole. Challah could be your best friend when looking to feed brunch to a crowd. Just let it soak overnight with some sweet Italian sausage, onions or shallots, and cheese, then pop it in the oven the next morning for a stove-less recipe that makes more than enough to go around.
- Mushroom and Gruyere Bread Pudding. Challah’s richness can also help you add a bit of decadence to an otherwise simple meal. The meaty mushrooms and melty cheese here certainly don’t hurt.
- Summer Berry Pudding. Treat challah like a sponge and you’ll be vastly rewarded. It’s a pro at soaking up sweet fruit juices, like in this cheerful berry-laden summer pudding—which is way easier than it looks, and even better since it’s a totally no-bake dessert.
- Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese. The hint of sweetness in challah makes it perfect for experimenting with salty-sweet combos. A classic grilled cheese tastes brand new on this bread, but you can take it over the top with the addition of spicy fried chicken, blue cheese sauce, and smoked gouda.
- Nutella Stuffed French Toast. One more word for French toast. You can make any recipe for it with challah, but this stuffed version crosses the line into dessert territory…especially if you serve it with a scoop of ice cream.
