Kosher By Design Challah Recipe
½ cup warm water
4 pkgs dry yeast
1 tbsp sugar
7 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 ½ cups veg oil
7 teaspoons salt
4 cups boiling water
1 5 lb bag of flour
1 egg beaten
Place the warm water, yeast and 1 tbsp of sugar into a large glass measuring cup or bowl. Set aside in a
warm place.
Crack 7 large eggs into an 8 quart pot and mix. In a separate large bowl, combine the 2 cups sugar, oil,
salt and boiling water. Mix with a wooden spoon.
When the yeast is bubbly add the yeast mixture into the egg mixture. Add the sugar/oil mixture into the
pot. Stir. Add the flour into the pot in 3 additions, mixing well with wooden spoon between additions.
Sprinkle ½ cup flour on your kneading surface. Knead the dough for 10-15 mintues, adding flour to the
surface as needed. Try not to add too much. It is easier to add more to a sticky dough than to restore a
dough once too much flour has been added.
Put the dough back in the pot. Cover and let the dough rise for 2-3 hours
