Prepare the Dough

  1. Combine the sugar and yeast in a small bowl of warm water and set aside to rise.
  2. In a separate bowl combine eggs, oil, water, sugar and salt, Once the yeast mixture has risen add it to the bowl and mix.
  3. Mix in the flour one cup at a time. You can use a wooden spoon and later on knead with your hands as the dough becomes sticky.
  4. When the dough is completely kneaded and smooth, cover in the bowl and set it aside to rise for 45-60 minutes.

Shape and Bake

  1. Separate the challah (read more about hafrashat challah here) and begin to braid your loaves.

  2. Place the loaves in a pan and brush the tops with one beaten egg. Sprinkle desired toppings.

  3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and allow the challahs to rise again for 40 minutes.

  4. Place your pans in the oven and bake for 50 minutes. Enjoy!

    Fluffy Spelt Challah

    Avacado oil

    Is it ok to use olive oil? Do you use it for health purposes or will it affect the taste and texture? I’m a big fan of spelt and would love to try this recipe...I’ve been looking out for a good spelt challah recipe and this sounds great but I need to know about the oil first. I’ve never used avocado oil in the past and would love to stick to my olive oil,which is more familiar to me

    I think avocado oil is great. You can sub it here for sure. It's very mild.
