Instructions
If you are using a bread machine:
- Combine water, oil, honey, 1 beaten egg, apples and salt (in that order) in the bread machine.
- Add flour, make a well in the middle and add the yeast and sprinkle some more flour on top.
- Set the machine to dough setting and turn it on.
- Once the dough has approximately tripled in size, divide it in half.
- Make 6 dough balls from each half and arrange them in a disposable 8 inch round aluminum pan (place 5 on the edges and 1 in the center).
- Preheat oven at 350°F.
- Using a pastry brush, gently “paint” the Challah with the remaining beaten egg.
- Mix cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle over Challah.
- Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let sit for about 30 minutes.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
If you are making it by hand:
- Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add 1 tablespoon sugar and let it sit until it foams.
- In a large bowl combine flour, salt and chopped apples.
- In another bowl combine oil, dissolved yeast and water, honey and 1 beaten egg.
- Pour wet ingredients over the flour and knead to create a smooth and soft dough about 10 minutes.
- Place dough in a slightly greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel and let it rise for about an hour or until triple in size.
- “Punch” dough and divide it in half. Follow steps 5-10 above.
Notes
makes 2 round, pull apart challahs
I have the same question.
Are the apples fresh apples or are they dried apple rings?
