Challah

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1/4 cup honey
2 eggs, divided
2-1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter
1/2 tablespoon poppy or sesame seeds

Dissolve yeast and some of the honey in the water. Allow to sit for 10 minutes.

Stir in remaining honey, one and a half of the eggs, flour, salt, and butter. Knead for 5 minutes until dough is no longer sticky. Cover dough and allow to rise for 2 hours.

Divide dough into three parts and with oiled hands, shape into strands. Braid the stands on lightly greased parchment paper or silicone mat. Cover and allow to rise for 45 minutes.

Brush remaining egg over the dough and sprinkle with seeds. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
