Recipe's preparation

    Challah Dough

  1. First add water and yeast to the TM bowl. Then add flour, and all remaining ingredients into bowl. Mix together 10s / s4.
    Then set to lid lock / 2.5 minutes / knead function.

     

    Turn onto bread mat and leave to rise (approx 20-30 mins).

     

    Set oven at 150c

     

    Once dough has risen, separate dough into 3 equal parts. Roll each part into a long log roughly the same size and length. Place all 3 logs next to each and squeeze the tips together to attach them together. Then plait the 3 logs as you would do a hair plait! Once plaited, place onto baking tray with baking paper. Brush over with the egg wash and then sprinkle with any seeds/sprinkle or leave plain.

     

    Place into warm oven and bake for 20 – 30 mins until golden on top and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. 

    2. Egg Wash

  2. Lightly beat egg and water in a small bowl until combined.

Tip

This recipe is kosher as it uses oil.  Nuttalex can be used instead of oil and remain kosher.  Any oil can be used, but I find Macadamia Oil gives it a lovely nutty flavour.  If you want a sweeter version, add more sugar or some honey.  Can use any sprinkle you desire or leave it plain.  A much healthier version than Glick's!

    Since this has wheat, I am unable to eat it but the family absolutely loved it. I used honey instead of sugar and two eggs because I had small ones. I only added 15grams of flour and it still held its shape very well.

    Not sure what I did wrong, mine looked great but the consistency was all wrong, more like a scone dough dense and crumbly... (tasted nice)

  • This is amazing!! I have now

    Submitted by mincster on 27. December 2013 - 15:16.

    This is amazing!! I have now made this about 6 times, and once I made 2 at the same time, as I knew there wouldn't be enough as everyone loved it so much!! I have also used this for French Toast..... OMG!!! It makes incredible french toast!! 

    I also found I need to let it prove for 45 mins, and 30 mins in the oven, but otherwise, perfect. Thank you!!

  • This was soooo good! Big

    Submitted by mincster on 30. November 2013 - 07:53.

    This was soooo good! Big success! Although I needed to let it sit and rise for longer than stated, as it really didn't move in the above time, so I left it for about 45 mins. Also I don't have a mat, so I used an oiled bowl and sat it under the heat lamps in my bathroom! But it turned out so well - there was barely any left within 10 mins of it coming out of the oven!

  • Was delicious. I

    Submitted by lipntuch on 31. October 2013 - 13:04.

    Was delicious. I substituted the oil for applesauce which worked well.
    I plaited the challas, but when they bake in the oven, the challah breaks/seperates open in the middle. Any suggestions how to avoid this?

  • I made this a few days ago,

    Submitted by vanessa71 on 14. August 2013 - 12:51.

    I made this a few days ago, and it was great, so easy! Tasted lovely, though I used vegetable oil as I didn't have any macadamia nut oil on hand. I will try with that next time. Doesn't matter that I don't live close to Glicks now, I can make my own! tmrc_emoticons.)
