Recipe: Challah Bread (bread machine)

BREAD MACHINE CHALLAH

"Though this challah bread isn't braided, like the traditional kind, it tastes fantastic and it takes just minutes to prepare, thanks to the bread machine.
Nothing smells or tastes quite like homemade bread. And this challah bread recipe takes just minutes to make with a bread machine. You could use the dough cycle and take the dough out and shape it into a braid if you like. But I think this challah tastes just great made entirely in the bread machine.

Serve this challah with a heaping bowl of chicken noodle soup, beef brisket and scalloped potatoes with cheese."
