Sweet Bread Machine Spelt Challah Recipes

SPELT FLOUR BREAD MACHINE CHALLAH

Steps:

• Pour the water, olive oil, and eggs into a bread machine pan. Add salt, sugar, spelt flours, xanthan gum, and yeast. Place into bread machine and set to dough cycle. Check on the dough as it is mixing to ensure that it mixes well. Use a rubber scraper to scrape down the sides of the pan if needed.
• When the dough has finished, remove and divide into 3 pieces. Shape each piece into an 18 inch long rope. Braid the three ropes together, seal the tips together, and fold under the loaf. Place the braided loaf onto a greased baking sheet, cover with a soft cloth, and allow to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Brush the loaf with beaten egg, and sprinkle with poppy seeds.
• Bake in preheated oven until the challah has turned golden brown, and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom, 40 to 45 minutes.

• Divide each piece into three sections.
• Roll each section into a long strand.
• Braid the three strands, pinching the top and bottom ends together.
• Place on a parchment-lined or lightly greased baking sheet.
• Repeat with the remaining dough, making the second challah.
• Let the challot rise, covered, for 30 minutes.

BREAD MACHINE CHALLAH II

Steps:

• Place warm water, sugar, honey, vegetable oil, salt, 2 eggs, flour and yeast in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select Dough cycle; press Start.
• After the machine is done, take the dough out, and place it on a very lightly floured board, punch the dough down, and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Divide the dough in half. Then divide into 3 equal pieces, roll into ropes about 12 to 14 inches, and braid into a loaf. Do the same with the remaining other half. Gently put the loaves on a greased cookie sheet, mist with water, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours in a warm, draft free place, until double in size.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a small bowl, beat together 1 egg and 1 tablespoon water.

SWEET BREAD MACHINE SPELT CHALLAH

Steps:

• Put in the ingredients into your breadmachine in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
• Select 'dough cycle'.
• In my bread machine, I am able to add in raisins after the first mixing - it beeps. Check your machine for directions on adding ingredients in after starting the dough cycle.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• When taking out dough, if too sticky, roll in flour to ease shaping.
• Braid loaves and place in oiled baking pan (I recommend 8x4 non-stick).
• Cover with oiled plastic wrap and let rise for 45 minutes. Can skip this step if in a rush.
• Coat top with egg yolk and sprinkle with poppy or sesame seeds, if desired.
• Approximate bake time: One challah -. 45 minutes. Two challahs -35 minutes. Three challahs - 25 minutes.
