I got this recipe from a friend. It’s got a lot of steps but if you follow it exactly, the challa comes out fluffy, crispy and delicious. I recommend baking it challa pans for optimal shape and crispness.
Ingredients:
5 tablespoons dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
4 1/3 cups lukewarm water
1 cup oil
18 1/2 cups spelt flour
1 cup honey
2 tablespoons salt
2 eggs
Everything challa topping
1 egg for brushing
Oil spray
*In a med medium bowl, combine yeast, sugar and lukewarm water. Let it sit 3 to 5 minutes till bubbly.
* Add 10 cups flour to machine then slowly pour in the yeast mixture. Mix, first at low speed, then higher until the batter is sticky.
*Add 8 1/2 cups flour, then salt on top of that, making sure it’s not touching the yeast mixture.
* Add oil, eggs, and honey and mix for five minutes. Dough should be sticky and in one piece.
* Let the dough rise 10 to 15 minutes in the machine then remix it for 1 to 2 minutes.
* Place dough in a big bowl, covered with plastic and a towel. Let it rise for 40 minutes to an hour, not more.
* Take challa. Amen!!!
*Braid the dough and place in oiled pans. Let it rise another 20 to 30 minutes. Give it an egg wash and top with everything spice.
* DO NOT PREHEAT OVEN. (This makes it rise and get super fluffy, with a gorgeous dark crust)
* Place pans in a low rack in the oven, then turn it to 450F for 10 minutes.
*After 10 minutes lower the oven to 350 and continue baking for 35-45 minutes, depending on your oven.

5 lbs white spelt flour
4 Tablespoons dry yeast
3 + 3/4 cups warm water
2/3 cups honey
2/3 cup oil (use healthier version)
3 eggs
2 Tablespoons salt (use sea salt (redmond not fake costco)
Let dry yeast bubble in half of the warm water (add drop of sugar (honey won't do the job) if the yeast needs help activating.
mix with little flour then rest mixture for 2 minutes then add the honey, oil and eggs and mix again. rest dough for another few minutes then add flour and water alternating. do it slowly. add the salt somewhere in the middle.
mix well.
Let dough rise for 1 hour or so and braid as usual. let it rise and bake as usual.
I've been making this the past 7 years or so with great results. the brand of the flour matters....
Can be made by hand but obviously this is much harder.
hope this helps

I like the grain brain spelt kamut challah. I make the recipe on the back of the bag and follow the rising/baking instructions.

Yes. At the moment I bake my challahs without eggs. My baby is allergic, so I just omit it and it tastes delicious anyway. It might take bit longer to rise, though

1 whole egg
2 tablespoons salt
1 cup oil

I mix in separate bowl the seltzer, water, yeast and some honey and then I add it to the flour salt eggs oil and the rest of honey.
