Yeast Breads Challah Braid If you have leftovers, our Challah Braid slices make the best French toast. Makes 18 servings (one 2-pound loaf) Preparation: 15 - 20 minutes, plus 2-1/2 hours rising and resting, 30 minutes baking and 1 hour or longer cooling 4 tablespoons sugar, divided 1 package active dry yeast 1/4 cup warm water (105˚ - 115˚F) 4-1/3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons salt 2/3 cup cold water 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted 1 large egg 1 tablespoon water Cooking spray In a 2-cup liquid measure, dissolve 2 teaspoons sugar and yeast in warm water. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Insert the dough blade in the work bowl and add flour, remaining sugar and salt. Pulse on dough speed to combine, about 2 to 3 times. Add cold water, melted butter and 1 egg to yeast mixture. With machine running on dough speed, add liquid through small feed tube in a steady stream as fast as the flour will absorb it. Once dough forms a ball, continue processing for 45 seconds to knead dough. Place dough in a floured plastic food storage bag and seal. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and punch down; let rest 5 to 10 minutes. Divide dough into 3 equal pieces. Use your hands to roll each piece into a cylinder about 1-1/2 x 18 inches. Place the cylinders side by side on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Braid loosely from one end. Gently pull and taper each end to a point, then pinch and tuck under loaf. Cover with plastic wrap coated with vegetable oil cooking spray and let rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 375˚F 15 minutes before baking. Beat egg with water and brush over braid. Bake in lower third of preheated oven for 20 minutes. Lower temperature to 350˚F and bake until loaf is browned and sounds hollow when tapped, about 10 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
