Steps:
- Dissolve the honey in the water in a large mixing bowl, and stir in the yeast. Set the mixture aside until the yeast forms a creamy layer on top, about 15 minutes. Stir in the salt, 2/3 cup of olive oil, and beaten eggs. Add the flour 1 cup at a time until the dough is slightly tacky, but not sticky wet.
- Turn it out onto a floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Lightly oil a bowl, place the dough in the bowl, turn the dough over a few times to oil the surface, then let rise until doubled in a warm, draft-free place, about 90 minutes.
- To make the loaves, punch down the dough, and cut it into 2 equal-sized pieces. Cut the first piece into 4 equal parts. Set the second piece aside under a cloth to prevent drying out while you braid the first loaf.
- To braid the first 4-strand loaf, roll the 4 pieces of dough into thin ropes about the width of your thumb, and about 14 inches long. Make the tops and bottoms of each rope thinner than the middle area. Pinch the tops of the 4 ropes together, and fan the 4 ropes out so they don't touch.
- To make an "under-2, over-1 braid," take the left-most rope, and move it to the right to cross underneath the next 2 ropes, then move it left to cross back over the strand immediately to its left. Take the far right strand, and move it to the left and cross it under the two strands to its left (they are already crossed from the previous braid); then move it right to cross back over the strand immediately to its right. Repeat until the 4 strands are braided together all the way to the end, and pinch the ends tightly together. Repeat the steps to braid the second loaf, and let the braided loaves rise for 1 hour.
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Make a glaze by whisking together the milk, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the egg white, and the sugar in a bowl. Brush the braided loaves with the glaze, to make a shiny crust, and bake the loaves on the prepared baking sheets in the preheated oven until they are light golden brown, about 30 minutes.

ANDREA'S CHALLAH
This challah comes from a friend who gave me HER friend's recipe - and I don't even know if she knows how many people it has been given to! WARNING: This recipe makes 8 medium sized loaves, so if you don't a bowl big enough or the freezer space, you might want to reduce it. This challah is sweet, rich and a little dense (not hard, just... weighty), so if you are looking for light as air and fluffy, this is not what you're looking for. It's addictive fresh out of the oven, perfect for french toast, and a wonderful base recipe for yeast cakes such as Chocolate Babka. A note: the recipe says to bake it at 350, but I found that with the high sugar content the challahs browned too quickly so I bake mine at 325. If your oven is more even than mine (likely) feel free to try the higher temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325.
- Mix the warm water, yeast and 1 tablespoons sugar together, set aside in a warm (not hot) place to proof (make sure the yeast is active) until frothy.
- In a very large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar and salt, then make a well in the center.
- Into the well, add the oil, 4 beaten eggs and proofed yeast mixture.
- Mix with a wooden spoon, then knead until dough is stretchy.
- Let rise, covered, for 1 1/2-3 hours - at least until doubled.
- Punch down, then shape as you wish.
- Let shaped loaves rise again for another 30 min or so, brush with egg wash, then bake on a foil-lined, greased baking sheet for 30 min or until a deep golden brown.

- Traditional Challah. There is nothing like the aroma of a loaf of bread baking in your oven. This loaf of traditional challah bread is rich and golden.
- Cheese and Chive Challah. The traditional yeasted egg bread is enriched even more by adding cheese to the dough. I love the flavor of fontina, but Gruyere or another Swiss cheese would also work.
- Pretzel Challah. Did you know that you can make soft, chewy pretzels in your own home? Tori explains the process and provides photographs of each step in making a pretzel challah.
- Cinnamon-Walnut Stuffed Challah. While this bakes in the oven, your whole house will be perfumed with the scent of cinnamon. This delicious cinnamon-walnut filled challah reminds me of the Slovenian pastry povitica.
- Cardamom Date and Rosewater Challah. This exotic cardamom date and rosewater loaf is filled with dates and pistachios and flavored with rosewater. This would be the perfect centerpiece for a cheese board.
- Chocolate Orange Challah for Rosh Hashanah. The dough is rich with eggs (and an extra yolk for good measure) olive oil, and honey. Orange juice and the zest of one orange provide the acid that yeast loves.
- Gingerbread Challah. A good loaf of challah is rich and pillowy and sweetened typically with honey. This gingerbread challah does away with typical; instead of honey, the sweetness comes in the form of molasses and warm winter spices like cinnamon and nutmeg scent the loaf.
- Pumpkin Challah. The addition of pumpkin puree to this loaf makes an already soft bread even more moist and pillowy. Serve this pumpkin challah with soup, toast it for croutons, or use the leftovers to make the most amazing French toast.
- Garlic Challah. This garlic challah is soft and pillowy, with pockets of roasted garlic woven within. It would be the perfect side for pasta with a rich red sauce or a bowl of Tuscan bean soup.
- Vegan Challah. Because of the egg-rich dough and egg-wash browned crust, one might think that challah is out of reach for vegans. Not so. This vegan challah is just as moist and golden as the traditional bread, with the addition of two "secret" (and incredibly genius) ingredients.
