Instructions

  1. 1 Gather the ingredients.
  2. 2 Place water and yeast in a large bowl; let the mixture stand until a creamy layer forms on top, about 10 minutes. Stir in honey and salt until dissolved, and add beaten eggs.
  3. 3 Mix in flour, a cupful at a time, until dough is sticky. Sprinkle dough with flour, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
  4. 4 Form dough into a compact round shape, and place in an oiled bowl. Turn dough over several times in the bowl to oil the surface of the dough, cover the bowl with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm area until doubled in size, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  5. 5 Punch down dough, and cut into 3 equal-sized pieces.
  6. 6 Working on a floured surface, roll 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.
  7. 7 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.)
  8. 8 Take the strand farthest to the left, and move it over the new middle strand.
  9. 9 Continue braiding, alternating sides each time, until the loaf is braided, and pinch the ends together and fold them underneath for a neat look.
  10. 10 Place braided loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and brush the top with beaten egg yolk. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  11. 11 Bake challah in the preheated oven until the top browns to a rich golden color and the loaf sounds hollow when you tap it with a spoon, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on a wire rack before slicing.

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Pour warm water into a large bowl; sprinkle yeast over water. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
  3. 3 Beat in honey, oil, 2 eggs, and salt. Add flour, 1 cup at a time, beating after each addition until dough has pulled together.
  4. 4 Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic.
  5. 5 Place dough in a large, lightly-oiled bowl and turn to coat.
  6. 6 Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 ½ hours.
  7. 7 Punch down dough and turn onto a lightly floured surface. Divide in half and knead each half for 5 minutes or so, adding flour as needed to keep it from getting sticky.
  8. 8 Divide each half into thirds and roll into a long snake about 1 ½ inches in diameter.
  9. 9 Pinch the ends of the three snakes together firmly and braid from middle. Either leave as a braid or form into a round braided loaf by bringing ends together, curving the braid into a circle, and pinching ends together.
  10. 10 Grease two baking trays and place the finished braid or round on each. Cover with a towel and let rise for about 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  11. 11 Beat the remaining egg and brush a generous amount over each braid; sprinkle with poppy seeds.
  12. 12 Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for at least one hour before slicing.
  13. 13 Serve and enjoy!

  1. 1 In a large bowl, stir together the flour, salt, yeast, and vital wheat gluten until well mixed. In another bowl, stir together the honey, olive oil, water, eggs, and raisins. Pour the liquid mixture into the flour mixture, and stir until it forms a dough.
  2. 2 Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Form the dough into a round shape. Lightly oil a bowl, place the dough in the bowl, and turn the dough over a few times to oil the surface. Cover the bowl with a cloth, and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  3. 3 Punch down the dough, knead it a few times to remove some of the bubbles, and cut it into 2 equal-sized pieces. Set 1 piece of dough aside under a cloth to prevent drying out while you shape or braid the first loaf as desired.
  4. 4 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 other loaf, place the braided loaves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.

  2. 2 Stir 2/3 cup olive oil, beaten eggs, and salt into yeast mixture until well combined. Mix in flour, 1 cup at a time, until dough is slightly tacky but not sticky wet.
  3. 3 Turn dough out onto a floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turn dough over a few times to grease the surface, then let rise until doubled in a warm, draft-free place, about 90 minutes.
  4. 4 Punch down 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.
  5. 5 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.
  6. 6 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. Pinch the ends tightly together. Repeat the steps to braid the second loaf and let the braided loaves rise for 1 hour.
  7. 7 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. 8 Whisk together milk, 2 tablespoons olive oil, egg white, and sugar in a small bowl until glaze is well combined. Brush glaze over braided loaves.

  1. 1 Combine 1 cup bread flour, 2 1/8 cups warm water, and yeast in a large bowl into a thin batter; let stand until frothy bubbles appear, about 10 minutes. Stir in 3 eggs, vegetable oil, honey, and salt until well combined. Beat in whole wheat flour and remaining 2 cups bread flour, alternating flours by cupfuls, until dough is too stiff to stir in more flour.
  2. 2 Turn dough out onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes, adding more flour if needed to form a slightly sticky dough. Form dough into a round shape; place in a large, lightly-oiled bowl and turn to coat a few times to oil the surface. Cover the bowl with a plastic bag and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in volume, 1 to 2 hours.
  3. 3 Punch down dough and knead a few times to remove some gas bubbles; cut into 3 equal-sized pieces. Set two dough pieces aside, covered by a cloth to prevent drying out while preparing loaves.
  4. 4 Cut remaining dough piece into 3 equal parts; transfer to a floured surface and roll parts 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 on the right, move it to the left over the middle strand (that strand becomes the new middle strand).

  1. 1 Whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a bowl; stir in walnuts.
  2. 2 Beat butter and brown sugar together in a separate large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy; stir in honey, egg, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined. Stir flour mixture into honey mixture just until well combined (don't overmix). Chill dough, 1 hour to overnight.
  3. 3 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper.
  4. 4 Scoop about 1 tablespoon dough; roll into a ball and place onto a prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
  5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until just puffy (or a little bit flat in the middle for a gooey texture), 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on baking sheets about 5 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
