Honey Whole Wheat Challah

[margo49]

A- ha!
Thanks,Doc.
Glad it's a bread machine one because I do not knead (not for nothing do I subtitle myself wingless wonder)

What is the story with the boiling water? (Or am I misunderstanding?)


I found this BM one on the internet ages ago

Add to the BM in this order:

7/8 cup water
1/2 tbsp salt
1/4 cup honey
2 eggs
1/4 cup butter
4 cups flour (I used 1/2 w/w and 1/2 regular)
2 tsp yeast
I also had a few handfuls of raisins and sultanas

I do the "dough" cycle and then punch and braid and do the last rising then give it an egg wash and a sprinkling off poppy seed and sugar. Baking time is 35 - 45 min at 350 deg F/180 deg C

We use it when DS#2 has forgotten his chore or left it too late for the store and there are no challot left.
You can also use it for a fancy bread if you just leave it to bake in the BM
