Some members of my family have an egg allergy. I do a lot of baking and I need to make sure no one gets ill. One problem is challah, the store near me seems to only sell egg-based challah. I would be fine with making my own but I need a great recipe.

3 C flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 C oil
1 1/4 C Water
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp dry yeast

take 3/4 cup of water and add yeast and sugar till it bubbles

Add all dry ingredients make a well and and add wet ingredients knead by hand (or in a machine if you have one)

If mixture is too dry slowly add remaining water till it gets to the right consistency.

Yeilds one medium challah. I usually quintuple the recipe and get 6 loaves.

I usually cover the top with one egg yolk and sugar, but you can sub it with a 1 Tbsp water and a tsp sugar. It gives the crunch a nice taste.

There is an egg free substance that you can glaze the challah with so that it will be shiny on top. I have to ask a friend about it as he has a sister very allergic and his mom uses it.

I glaze the top with oil and sugar mix. Everyone loves it.

this recipe is delicious and it makes at least 5lbs if you want to do hafrashas challah Smile

4.5 T. Dry yeast

2 c. warm water from the tap- dont use boiling water
-let it sit and bubble for bout 10 minutes until it's all bubbly and it gets very high and fluffy

add it to a mixture of
1 bag flour + 1 cup
1.5 cups sugar
2 T. salt (it calls for 4.5 but it's too much)
4 c. warm water
1.5 c. oil

knead until its all mixed together well
let rise for at least 1.5 to 2 hours (more if u want. just keep punching it down when it rises too high and is about to overflow!)

make into challahs or rolls and bake- dont make too well done!

enjoy and if u like u can put sesame seeds or a sweet crumb on top.

I got pink tichels water challah recipe (no eggs) from another thread and it was so good. I'm making it every week now! If you can't find it I can post it again for you.
