Steps:
- In a large bowl, sprinkle yeast over barely warm water. Beat in honey, oil, 2 eggs, and salt. Add the flour one cup at a time, beating after each addition, graduating to kneading with hands as dough thickens. Knead until smooth and elastic and no longer sticky, adding flour as needed. Cover with a damp clean cloth and let rise for 1 1/2 hours or until dough has doubled in bulk.
- Punch down the risen dough and turn out onto floured board. Divide in half and knead each half for five minutes or so, adding flour as needed to keep from getting sticky. Divide each half into thirds and roll into long snake about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Pinch the ends of the three snakes together firmly and braid from middle. Either leave as braid or form into a round braided loaf by bringing ends together, curving braid into a circle, pinch ends together. Grease two baking trays and place finished braid or round on each. Cover with towel and let rise about one hour.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Beat the remaining egg and brush a generous amount over each braid. Sprinkle with poppy seeds if desired.
- Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for about 40 minutes. Bread should have a nice hollow sound when thumped on the bottom. Cool on a rack for at least one hour before slicing.

- To make the dough: Weigh your flour; or measure it by gently spooning it into a cup, then sweeping off any excess. , Combine all of the dough ingredients and mix and knead them, by hand, mixer, or bread machine, until you have a soft, smooth dough., Allow the dough to rise in a plastic wrap-covered bowl for about 2 hours, or until it's puffy; it won't necessarily double in bulk., Gently deflate the dough, and transfer it to a lightly greased work surface., Next step: divide the dough into pieces, the number depending on what kind of braid you want to make.

SWEET EGG CHALLAH - 500 SPATULAS
From 500spatulas.com
- In a large bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and 1/2 cup of warm water. Set aside to proof for 10 minutes. At the end of the 10 minutes, your mixture will be bubbly and frothy. If you do not see this, your water may have been too hot, or your yeast may need to be replaced.
- Add in the remaining dough ingredients and combine as best you can with a dough whisk or rubber spatula. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface (don't wash the bowl just yet) and knead until the dough is tacky and smooth. This process takes about 10 minutes and you may need to add a bit more flour as you go. The dough will be tacky but shouldn't feel very wet or sticky.
- Transfer the dough back to the bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 90 minutes. My kitchen tends to be chilly, so I like to preheat the oven to 200 degrees, turn the oven off, and let the dough rise on the stove. The dough will expand and double in size.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Lightly flour a surface (mat or counter) and transfer the dough to it. Divide the dough into two or three equal portions (for two or three loaves). Set aside two of the portions. Divide the dough into three, four, or six equal parts (depending on what kind of braid you’d like to do). We’ll walk through six strand braid.
