INSTRUCTIONS:
- Place water in small bowl, and sprinkle in yeast and a pinch of sugar. Stir to combine. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes until a frothy layer forms across the top.
- Combine flour, sugar and salt.
- In the center of the flour, add the eggs, egg yolk, and oil. Whisk together.
- Combine yeast mixture and egg mixture. Mix yeast, eggs, and flour until a dough that is tough to mix forms.
- Place the dough on a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes. The dough is ready when it is smooth and holds shape.
- Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and place somewhere warm. Let the dough rise for about 2 hours until it has doubled in bulk.
- Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a long rope.
- Gather dough ropes and squeeze them together at the top. Braid the ropes, and squeeze the other ends together when complete.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place braided long on the paper and sprinkle with flour. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, until dough puffs up.
- Prepare a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 350F. Whisk egg white and 1 tbsp of water to make the egg wash. Brush mixture all over the dough, in the cracks and down the side.
- Bake for 30 t0 35 minutes, rotating halfway through. Remove when the challah is deeply browned and 190F. in the middle.
- Let cool, slice and serve.
Enjoy!
