Challah for the Bread Machine image

This is a great recipe from Father Dominic's (on PBS) cookbook "Breaking Bread." Using the bread machine makes it really easy, and it is so beautiful it makes a thoughtful present for a sick friend or a welcome addition to a potluck.

Time 3h35m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups water
1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 3/4 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons yeast
1 egg, beaten
sesame or poppy seed

Steps:

  • Add water, oil, 1 egg, vanilla, salt, flour, sugar, cinnamon, and yeast to bread machine. Select DOUGH/MANUAL cycle.
  • When cycle is complete, remove dough from machine to a lightly floured surface. If necessary, knead in enough flour to make dough easy to handle.
  • Divide dough into three equal portions, and roll each piece to a 24" rope. Braid ropes together, tucking ends underneath, on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise one hour (or until doubled in size), in a warm, draft free area. (I put a baking dish of hot water in the very bottom of my oven and then lay the baking sheet with the dough on the middle rack and close the door.).
  • Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds.
  • Bake in preheated oven (375 degrees) for 30-35 minutes. (Check at 30!) Remove from baking sheet and allow to cool on a wire rack.
