Ingredients
For the bread
- 6 cups strong white bread flour
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- ½ cup honey
- 2 cups warm water
- 1 tablespoon dried yeast (fast action)
- 1 tablespoon salt
For the glaze
- 1 beaten egg
- sesame seeds
Method
- Put all ingredients into a breadmaker and bake as for white loaf up to the point where the machine actually starts the bake cycle (90 mins on our machine).
- Turn off machine and allow dough to rise to top of perspex lid (about 15 mins). Remove dough and divide. I usually get 4 medium loaves out of this mixture but obviously less if you want the enormous, 6-plaited ones.
- Plait the challot and cover with clean tea towels and place in warm, draught-free space. I usually warm an oven very slightly and put it in there. Leave for an hour then heat oven to 190C.
- Brush Challot with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds. Bake for between 19-25 mins depending on size (they should sound hollow when tapped underneath when cooked).
