Ingredient

5 lbs

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Dissolve yeast in a cup of warm water (which will become your cup of cold water) with a tbsp of sugar note to self: break up yeast for quicker activation

* Step 2

Add 3 cups of very hot water top the dough mixer

* Step 3

Add oil, eggs, sugar, honey, salt, flour and yeast

* Step 4

Mix for 3 minutes

* Step 5

Oil your largest bowl sparingly and place dough in. Cover dough with a damp dishcloth and let dough rise for a 1/2 hour.

* Step 6

After the dough has risen for a 1/2 hr punch it down, flip it over, cover it with the damp towel and let it rise for an additional 45 minutes.

* Step 7

Make an hafrashas challah (Jewish blessing on bread) and start braiding

* Step 8

Once you've braided and placed it in your tin pans let it rise yet again for 45 min (all this rising should make the bread come out nice and fluffy)

* Step 9

Once 45 min are up or they have risen sufficiently brush some eggwash for a nice golden shine and sprinkle sugar on them for a sweet crunch! bake on 175-380 until a golden-dark brown for 20-30 min or longer. Keep checking on them.
