These light and fluffy challahs are an amazing alternative to challah made with high-gluten flour. Not to mention that you can make this without white sugar. Try it; you’ll see for yourself! Yield: 7 medium challahs or 25 challah rolls

Ingredients

Spelt Challah Dough

  • 6 tablespoons Gefen Dry Yeast

  • 5 cups warm water, divided

  • 4 eggs

  • 3/4 cup Gefen Honey

  • 4 tablespoons sugar or sugar substitute

  • 4 tablespoons salt

  • 1 cup oil

  • 5 pounds whole spelt flour (this also works with whole wheat)

Optional Streusel

  • 1/4 cup spelt flour

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 1/4 teaspoon Gefen Cinnamon

Directions

1.

In a plastic bowl, place yeast and two cups warm water. Stir to dissolve and allow yeast to proof.

3.

Cover and let rise for an hour.

4.

Punch dough down and let rise another 30 minutes.

5.

Braid and egg challahs.
