Combine all ingredients in the pan in the order listed and select white bread; push start If you don't have a DAK follow the directions for your own machine. You can bake it in your machine OR follow the directions below. 2. When we make this into Challa, we remove it from the breadmaker after the manual mode stops, (second rise); and then braid and rise again; then put an egg wash over the challa. 3. EGG WASH: One egg beaten with an equal amount of water. Brush on liberally BEFORE baking and then once during the bake. It makes the challa have a hard and shiny crust. BEAUTIFUL. You can sprinkle on seeds of your choice , (sesame or poppy), after the first `wash'. 4. BAKE in a 350 degree oven until a light toasty brown. We usually sprinkle NOTE: When I serve this challa to company they have a hard time believing that it comes out of our oven SOURCE: A Jewish Mother's Cookbook; Author, Elaine Radis; published on disk by ONE COMMAND SOFTWARE, 1995.
