We make this every week in our house. People keep asking for the recipe - we think they're impressed to find a healthy challah that also tastes great! It resembles actual bread more than cake. Just throw the ingredients into a bread machine with a dough cycle, braid, & bake! Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups water |
1 egg |
1 egg white |
2 tablespoons olive oil (this is equivalent to 1/6 cup) |
3 tablespoons honey (measure using the same spoon as the olive oil so it doesn't stick!) |
1 tablespoon sugar |
4 3/4 cups whole wheat flour |
2 teaspoons active dry yeast (or one 1/4 oz. packet) |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 additional egg (optional) |
sesame seeds (optional) |
Directions:
1. Add water, eggs, olive oil, honey, sugar, and flour to the bread machine bowl in that order.
2. Make a well on top of the flour mound and add the yeast.
3. Add salt along the side of the flour mound.
4. Set your bread maker to run a dough cycle.
5. Remove dough and braid challah (this is the fun part! See /watch?v=q0kf0MFRpXg for instructions.).
6. (Optional) For a professional look, coat the braided challah with egg using a basting brush, and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
7. Bake at 325 F for 30-40 minutes.
