Instructions

1. Attach the kneading blade (If your machine has one) then put all the ingredients into your machine in the above order (or as per manufacturer's instructions).
2. Use an enriched dough setting with a time of about 2¼ hrs.
3. Turn on your warming drawer or oven to about 70°C. Meanwhile break the dough into four pieces and mould the into whatever shapes takes your fancy - my daughter is particularly good at plaiting them - and pop them, well separated, onto a greased baking tray. After ½ an hour in the warm oven they will more or less double in size.
4. Take the baking tray out, then turn the oven up to 180°C. Brush the challahs with the glaze and, when the oven's up to temperature, bake them for about 25 minutes - but keep an eye on them after 15 minutes to make sure they don't get too browned.
5. Allow them to rest on a cooling rack before tucking in. Enjoy!
