CHALLAH BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• In a small bowl, soak the saffron threads in the 1 tablespoon of boiling water for 10 minutes.
• In the meantime, place the beaten eggs, honey, hot water and melted butter in a bowl. Mix well.
• Add the saffron threads with the soaking water, stir and pour the mixture into the baking pan of your bread machine.
• Mix the salt into the flour and add to the baking pan and spoon the yeast on top.
• Set the program to 'DOUGH.'.
• When the dough is ready (mine takes 90 minutes), transfer it to a lightly floured surface and knead it for 2-3 minutes. (The dough will feel quite soft and silky.).
• Shape the dough into 3 equal-sized pieces, then roll each piece into a sausage shape measuring approximately 12 inches in length.
• Pinch the top end of each length of dough together, then weave the pieces into a braid/plait.
• Pinch the bottom ends together, then tuck both ends under the dough to form a neatly braided loaf.
• Place the dough on a greased baking sheet, brush with oil, cover with plastic wrap/cling film and leave it to rise/prove in a warm place.
• Preheat the oven 220C/425°F.
• When the dough has nearly doubled in size, remove the plastic wrap and lightly brush the top of the loaf with the beaten egg.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Transfer the loaf to a wire rack and leave it to cool before serving.

CHALLAH FOR THE BREAD MACHINE

Steps:

• Add water, oil, 1 egg, vanilla, salt, flour, sugar, cinnamon, and yeast to bread machine. Select DOUGH/MANUAL cycle.
• When cycle is complete, remove dough from machine to a lightly floured surface. If necessary, knead in enough flour to make dough easy to handle.
• Divide dough into three equal portions, and roll each piece to a 24" rope. Braid ropes together, tucking ends underneath, on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise one hour (or until doubled in size), in a warm, draft free area. (I put a baking dish of hot water in the very bottom of my oven and then lay the baking sheet with the dough on the middle rack and close the door.).
• Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds.
• Bake in preheated oven (375 degrees) for 30-35 minutes. (Check at 30!) Remove from baking sheet and allow to cool on a wire rack.
