Our very own Raquel Malul and her Mom Vicky Cohen (from Tahini and Turmeric), are sharing their famous and beloved challah recipe with all of you today.
It's easy, quick, and comes out perfectly Every. Single. Time.

The Best Bread Machine Challah Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup of warm water

1/2 cup of sugar
3 teaspoons salt
5 cups of bread flour
3 teaspoons yeast (put this last on top of the the flour)
Directions:
1. Put all wet ingredients into your bread machine bowl. Then add your dry ingredients- flour should go last and then yeast on top.
2. Put the dough function on your bread machine and in one and a half hours you should have a gorgeous dough.
3. Braid into three medium challahs or two large.
4. Paint with egg wash on top and let it rise for around 30 minutes more.
