Water Challah
Rebbetzin Kanievsky

5 cups warm water
4 tablespoons dry yeast
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups oil
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
5 pounds all-purpose flour
1 egg, lightly beaten (for glaze only)

To Make the Dough: Place warm water, yeast and sugar in a bowl of electric mixer. Let it sit for about 7 minutes until it becomes bubbly. Place the mixer on low and add oil and salt. Slowly add the flour, one cup at a time. Continue mixing on low, while adding flour, for about 10 minutes.

Remove dough from mixing bowl and place in large bowl. Cover bowl with a towel and let rise in warm place for about an hour.

Grease 5 or 6 loaf pans, depending on what size challah you prefer. At this point take the challah with a Brocha.

Braid the dough and place in greased loaf pans. Let rise for another hour. Preheat oven 350. Brush with egg and bake for 45 minutes.

Yield: Makes 5-6 challahs
