Looking for a good sweet challah recipe. I usually do water challah, but I'd like to do something sweet for RH / YK / Sukkot.

TIA Smile

My regular recipe is

7c flour
1tbsp dry yeast
2c water
1/2c sugar
1 egg
1tbsp salt
1/2c oil

You can brush the top with honey before you bake and it will make it sweeter.

4½ Tsp Yeast
2 cups warm water
¾ cups sugar
5 oz oil
2 Tsp salt
7 cups flour

Combine the yeast, water and sugar together and let yeast begin to bubble. Then add the oil, salt, and flour together and let rise. Once dough has risen, punch dough down and form challah. Brush with egg and bake at 350 until the challah browns on top
(sprinkle with poppy seed, sesame seeds, or cinnamon and sugar)

These amounts yeild only 4 challahs. I just tripled it for Rosh hashana. It freezez beautfully once its baked.
**Notice there are no eggs in this recipe, which means that it gets dried out veryy easily if it is not wrapped very well.

Mix 1 tblsp four and 1 tblsp sugar with enough oil to make it crumbly.

After egging, but before baking sprinkle this mixture on whatever challah recipe you use. It adds major sweetness.

I got this from imamother years ago and would name the poster, but I cant remember who it was......

I actually make this crumb topping on my challah every week, my kids love it! I usually make a big batch of crumb, in my case it's 1 stick margarine, 1 c flour, 3/4 c sugar and just put in a ziplock bag in the freezer. So easy to pull it out and sprinkle it on right after I egg the challah.
