The easiest Shabbat challah you’ll ever make.
Roll little balls, nestle them in a round pan, top with anything you love, and bake. That’s it.
Soft & sweet challah
4 cups (500g) flour
2¼ tsp (1 packet) instant yeast
⅓ cup (65g) sugar
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
⅓ cup (80ml) oil
¾ cup (180ml) warm water
Mix everything into a soft dough and knead 5 to 8 minutes.
Let it rise 1 hour, until doubled.
Roll into 8 to 10 balls and place them in a round greased pan.
Let them rise 30 more minutes.
Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle your toppings: sesame, nigella, almonds, pecans, pumpkin seeds.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden.
May your weekend be sweet, slow and peaceful.
Shabbat Shalom.
