Place yeast in large mixing bowl; add warm water. To dissolved yeast add
sugar, salt, oil, egg substitute and 1/2 of the flour. Mix with a wooden
spoon until dough is smooth; gradually add remaining flour to form a soft
dough.
Knead on a heavily floured surface 10 minutes or until dough is smooth and
elastic. Place in bowl greased with tub margarine (lightly greased) and
turn dough to coat top. Cover with plastic wrap (I cover with a cotton
towel).
Set aside to triple in size, approximately 1 1/2 hours. Punch down. Turn
out onto floured board. Knead lightly. Cover. Let rest 10 minutes.
Shape dough into 3 braided loaves or two braided wreaths (which I do for
Rosh HaShana). Place on a teflon baking sheet. Cover. Let rise until
double. Brush with egg wash; sprinkle with seeds. Bake at 375 degrees F for
25-30 minutes for braided loaves. Bake at 375 degrees 45 minutes or until
golden brown for wreaths.
My family loves this recipe for our Erev Shabbat Challah. Hope it will be a
blessing to you.

A Message from our Provider:
“Thankfulness to God is a recognition that God in His goodness and faithfulness has provided for us and cared for us, both physically and spiritually. It is a recognition that we are totally dependent upon Him; that all that we are and have comes from God. #Jerry Bridges”
