Knead For Peace 3 Challah Recipe
This is a recipe to make 3 Challahs, one for you, one to give and one to share! I like to use this recipe to make 2 LARGE Challah, right?
Ingredients
- 7.5 Cups Flour
- 2.5 Cups Water
- .75 Cups Sugar
- .5 Cups Olive Oil
- 1 TBSP Yeast
- 1.5 TBSP Salt
Instructions
- Mix the liquids with the sugar until it dissolves completely, sift the flour into the liquid mixing by hand, add the yeast and finish sifting the last 1/4 of flour in. I've been using Baker's Flour from Central Milling. I put the Active Yeast in some water with sprinkle of sugar on top and mix that into the dough for the last section.
- Knead and meditate for 5-20 minutes.
- Let the dough rest and rise for 30 minutes.
- Cut the dough into 3 sections, stretch out into even lengths, rolling lightly between your hands.
- Braid the 3 lengths, gently tucking the ends under, rounding the braided bread.
- Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, paint the Challah and continue backing for the last 30 minutes. I check the bread the last 5 minutes, willing to pull the bread early if the bottom looks cooked.
- Be patient and allow the bread to cool, then indulge and share!
Notes
Make more than one Challah, sharing is caring. I suggest making this recipe into 2 Large Challah instead of 3 normal Challah. Right?
