Serves:
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
- 1 egg yolk, beaten (for glaze)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
-
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, oil, eggs, salt, and yeast mixture. Stir well.
-
Gradually add flour to the mixture and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
-
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal parts. Shape each part into a long rope and braid them together to form a loaf. Place the loaf onto a greased baking sheet.
-
If desired, sprinkle raisins over the loaf. Brush the top of the loaf with beaten egg yolk and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
-
Allow the sweet challah to cool before serving.
