Classic Challah

Classic Challah
This deep-gold, light-textured bread is traditionally served on the Jewish Sabbath and other holidays. The dough is wonderfully smooth and supple, making it an ideal candidate for braiding. The simplest way to go is a three-strand braid; but feel free to try the slightly more complex four-strand braid, or even a six-strand braid, which makes a striking presentation. The inspiration for this recipe comes from Lora Brody, cookbook author, photographer, and long-time King Arthur friend.

How to cook:
  1. To make the dough: Weigh 480g of flour; or measure 4 cups by gently spooning it into a cup, then sweeping off any excess.
  2. Combine the flour with the rest of the dough ingredients. Mix and knead them by hand, mixer, or bread machine, until you have a soft, smooth dough. If the dough is very sticky, add an additional 1/4 cup (30g) of flour.
  3. Allow the dough to rise in a plastic wrap-covered bowl for about 2 hours, or until it's puffy; it won't necessarily double in bulk.
  4. Gently deflate the dough, and transfer it to a lightly greased work surface.
  5. Divide the dough into pieces, the number depending on what kind of braid you want to make. You may braid the challah the traditional way, into a three-strand braid; for helpful tips watch our video, How to braid a three-strand loaf. For a fancier presentation, make a six-strand braid; watch our video, How to braid a six-strand loaf, to see how it's done. To make a four-strand braid, see shaping instructions in our blog post about making four-strand braided challah.
  6. Once you've decided which braid you're doing, divide the dough into the appropriate number of pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 20" long. If the dough starts to shrink back as you roll, cover it and let it rest for about 10 minutes, then resume rolling. The short rest gives the gluten a chance to relax.
  7. Braid the loaf. Remember, for three- or six-strand braids, watch the videos linked above. For a four-strand braid, see the step-by-step photos of how to make a four-strand braid.
  8. Gently pick up the braided loaf, and place it on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
  9. Cover the loaf with lightly greased plastic wrap and let it rise at room temperature until it's very puffy, 60 to 90 minutes. Toward the end of the rising time, place a rack in the upper third of your oven and preheat the oven to 375°F.
  10. To make the topping: Whisk together the reserved egg white and water. Brush the mixture over the risen loaf. Sprinkle generously with poppy seeds or sesame seeds, if desired.
  11. Bake the challah on the oven's upper rack for 25 to 30 minutes, or until it's a deep golden brown and a digital thermometer inserted into the center reads 190°F.
  12. Remove the challah from the oven and transfer it to a rack to cool.
  13. Storage information: Store any leftover challah, well wrapped, at room temperature for several days; freeze for longer storage. While challah does tend to dry out after a day or so, it's always good toasted, or made into grilled sandwiches or French toast.

How to cook:
  1. TO MAKE THE DOUGH: Mix together all of the dough ingredients. Knead the dough in your mixer at medium-low speed for 6 minutes, or by hand for 8 minutes. The dough should be soft and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 2 hours, or until puffy; when you poke the dough with your finger, the dent will remain and not bounce back. If you've made the dough in a bread machine, allow it to rise in the machine for an extra hour after the dough cycle is completed.
  2. Lightly grease a 9' round cake pan that's at least 2' deep, or a 9' or 10' tube pan.
  3. Gently deflate the risen dough, transfer it to a lightly greased work surface, and flatten it into an 8' x 10' rectangle.
  4. TO MAKE THE FILLING: Toss the apple chunks with the cinnamon and sugar.
  5. TO ASSEMBLE: Spread half the apple mixture in the center of the dough. Fold one short edge over the apples to cover them, patting the edges firmly to seal the apples inside.
  6. Spread the remaining filling on top of the folded-over dough. Cover with the other side of the dough, again patting firmly and pinching the edges to seal.
  7. Using a bench knife, cut the apple-filled dough in half lengthwise, then in eight strips across the short length. This will be messy, with some apples falling out.
  8. Transfer the portions of dough and any stray apples to the prepared pan, forming a single layer across the bottom. Stack more dough on top of the first layer if needed to fit them all in.
  9. Cover with greased plastic wrap or the reusable wrap of your choice, and let rise for about 1 hour, until puffy looking. Toward the end of the rise time, preheat your oven to 325°F with a rack in the lower third.
  10. When the dough has risen, uncover it and brush with the beaten egg. Sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired. Bake the challah for 55 to 65 minutes, until it's a deep golden brown. Some of the top pieces may caramelize; that’s OK.
  11. Remove the challah from the oven and place it (still in the pan) on a rack for 5 minutes. After this rest, remove the challah from the pan and return it to the rack. Serve warm, drizzled with honey if desired.
  12. Store covered at room temperature for up to three days; freeze for longer storage.
