Bakers from Zomick’s Kosher Bakery share the recipe for the delicious Zomick’s Challah.
Ingredients
• 2 ½ cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• ½ cup honey• 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 eggs
• 1 tablespoon salt• 8 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon poppy seeds (optional)
• Step 1
Sprinkle yeast over barely warm water in a large bowl. Beat in honey, oil, 2 eggs, and salt. Bakers from Zomick’s Kosher Bakery point out that the flour should be added one cup at a time, beating after each addition, graduating to kneading with hands as the dough thickens. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic and it is no longer sticky. Add flour as needed. Cover with a damp clean cloth. Bakers from Zomick’s Kosher Bakery recommend Letting it rise for 1 1/2 hours or until the dough has doubled in bulk.
• Step 2
Punch down the risen dough. Turn out onto the floured board. Divide the dough in half. Knead each half for five minutes. Add flour as needed to keep it from getting sticky. Divide each half into thirds. Roll into a long snake approximately 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Pinch the ends of the three snakes together firmly.
Start to braid from the middle. Bakers from Zomick’s Kosher Bakery point out that you can either leave it as a braid or also form it into a round braided loaf. You can do the last by bringing ends together, curving the braid into a circle, and pinching ends together. Grease two baking trays. Place the finished braid or round on each. Cover it with a towel. Let’s rise for about one hour.
• Step 3
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Step 4
Beat the remaining egg and brush it over each braid. Sprinkle with poppy seeds.
• Step 5
Bake it for about 40 minutes at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bakers from Zomick’s Kosher Bakery recommend that before slicing, you should cool it on a rack for at least one hour.
