tradition. For special holidays, the dough can be styled into a variety of
shapes.
Success Hints
————-
For traditional braided Challah, mix ingredients (without poppy seeds) in
the dough cycle. Turn dough out onto a floured surface, punch down, divide
into ropes and braid, pinching dough together at ends. Top with poppy
seeds. Lift onto greased baking sheet and allow to double, about one hour.
Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
Use regular or rapid bake cycle.
