Here is my recipe for braided challah bread
Start by combining 2 tsp of yeast into 1 cup warm water. Sprinkle a bit of sugar in the water to help the yeast ferment.
In a large bowl mix together 4 cups of flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tsp salt, 2 eggs, 1 egg yolk, 1/4 cup oil then the water/ yeast mixture.
Mix into a ball and knead for 3-4 minutes.
Let rise in a warm place for 20 minutes.
Cut into 4 equal pieces and roll to desired length, allowing the pieces to rest a bit between.
Braid into a loaf.
Cover and let sit in a warm place for 10 minutes.
Brush with egg wash
Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.
Let cool and enjoy!
