Instructions
1: In a mixer (or in a bowl) combine yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to activate that yeast. 2: Add oil, bread flour, and pink salt. Make sure not to place the salt directly on the yeast. 3: Start your mixer and let it run for 10 minutes. If kneading by hand, also knead for 10 minutes to work the gluten. 4: Transfer to an oiled working surface and knead for about 1 minute extra. 5: Let it rest, covered, until double in size, about 1.5-2 hours. 6: Bless your dough. 7: Shape your Challah. 8: Cover braids and let them rest for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Egg wash the top of challah. 9: Bake at 350°F (in a preheated oven). If baking 2 pans, switch top and bottom racks after 20 minutes and bake an additional 25-30 minutes, or until golden.View original recipe
