8 cups of flour, sifted
Mix dry ingredients together.
To make yeast put the 2 ounces of crumbled yeast into 1 cup of warm water and a teaspoon of sugar to activate. When foamy add this to the flour mixture. Then add the remaining ingredients.
Mix in Kitchenaid until combined. Makes 3 nice sized challot.
Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes, then take out of oven, egg them and sesame them, then return to 350°F oven for about 35 minutes. They freeze beautifully and are delicious when warmed up just before Shabbat dinner.
I let this dough rise in the mixer, covered with a clean plastic shopping bag over top, so when it grows it has lots of room for expansion, and it keeps in the warmth.
