THREE-STRANDED BRAIDED CHALLAH BREAD
This recipe is adapted from The Joy of Cooking. I simply adore it. I often make two batches--one to eat and one to freeze for later consumption.

Steps:
- Combine yeast and warm water in large mixing bowl or bowl of stand mixer.
- Let stand until yeast is dissolved, about 5 minutes Add all-purpose flour, 2 large eggs and 2 egg yolks, 3 tbsp vegetable oil, sugar and salt.
- Mix by hand or on low speed until blended.
- Gradually stir in bread flour.
- Knead for about 8 minutes by hand or with dough hook of mixer on medium speed until dough is smooth and elastic and doesn't stick to hands or bowl.
- Transfer to oiled bowl and turn it over once to coat with oil.
- Cover with plastic wrap.
- Let rise in warm place until doubled in volume, about 1-1 1/2 hours.
- Punch dough down, knead briefly, and refrigerate covered until it has again nearly doubled in volume, 4-12 hours.
- To shape the dough: Divide dough into three pieces and weigh to be sure that they are of equal size.
- On an unfloured work surface, roll into balls and let rest, covered loosely with plastic wrap, for ten minutes or so.
- Grease a baking sheet and sprinkle it with cornmeal.
- (You can also bake this on a pizza stone with cornmeal-covered parchment, which is what I do.) Roll each ball into a 13-14 inch-long rope, about 1.
- 5 inches thick and slightly tapered at the ends.
- Dust three dough ropes with rye flour (I just used AP flour) so that they will be more distinctly separated.
- Place the three dough ropes side by side and pinch top ends together.
- Lift left dough rope and place between right and middle ropes.
- Lift right dough rope and place it between left and middle ropes.
- Keep doing this until you reach the ends.
- Tuck both ends of braid underneath loaf and set it on baking sheet.
- Whisk together egg and salt and brush over the top of the loaf.
- Don't skip this step--the egg will give you a shiny, beautifully browned challah loaf!
- Loosely cover braid with lightly oiled plastic wrap.
- Let rise in a warm place until not quite doubled, about 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Brush loaf again with egg wash.
- If desired, sprinkle with poppy seeds or sesame seeds.
- (I prefer poppy seeds.) Bake until crust is golden brown, and bottom of loaf sounds hollow when tapped, about 30-35 minutes.
- Let cool on rack.
- To freeze, allow to cool COMPLETELY and wrap thickly with plastic wrap.
- To thaw, place in 200-250 degree oven until thawed, about 35-40 minutes.

- In the bowl of your stand mixer, or a large bowl if kneading by hand, combine the flour, instant yeast (*see note before starting if substituting active dry yeast), and salt. Stir together.
- Add to the bowl the canola oil, whole egg, egg yolks, honey, and the warm water. Stir all ingredients together.
- Using the dough hook on your stand mixer, knead the dough on medium-high speed for about 8 minutes. You may need to stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl if the dough is pooling too much at the bottom. You may also need to add about 1/4 cup flour (maybe more if it is a very humid day) to the bowl. Do this if the dough is still very wet after mixing a few minutes. The dough should be very sticky to the touch after kneaded for some time, but should be able to stick together as one elastic ball. Alternatively, you can knead this dough by hand. I find this dough is easiest to knead right in the bowl if doing it by hand as it is very sticky. Add small amounts of flour as needed.
- Add about 1 TBSP oil to a clean bowl and turn the kneaded dough into it. Turn the dough over to coat both sides with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean towel or loosely with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
