Directions

Make the Challah

1.

Dissolve the yeast and sugar in one cup of water. Let sit 15 minutes. Combine the yeast mixture with the remaining water, flour, eggs, oil, and salt. Knead the mixture into a soft dough. Allow the dough to rise for 30 minutes.

2.

Divide the dough into 24 equal parts. Divide each part into four 1-inch balls. Place each set of dough balls into a greased disposable 4-inch square pan. Do not allow the dough to rise.

3.

Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 25–35 minutes, or until golden.

4.

To achieve the gift box-effect, tie the roll with a ribbon, 36 inches long and 1 inch wide.

Hi- when it comes to yeast doughs, I would not recommend halving the ingredients. Many times they will not come out the same. I would recommend using a smaller batch recipe.
