CHALLA - GOLDEN EGG BREAD
(Braided Poppyseed Bread)

1 pkg yeast
3 cups flour
4 tbsp. sugar
2 eggs
6 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup warm water

Combine all ingredients in the pan in the order listed and select white bread; push start.

When we make this into Challa, we remove from the breadmaker after the manual mode stops, (first rise); and then braid* and rise again; then put an egg wash over the challa.

BAKE in a 350 degree oven until a light toasty brown. We usually sprinkle on some type of seeds (sesame or poppy) after the egg wash.

*Braiding in the flat manner:
The middle one goes under and over; never across.
