## Ingredients

- 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp instant dry yeast
- 3.5 tbsp white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 0.25 cup canola oil
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tsp salt

## Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl sift all-purpose flour, add yeast, sugar and mix. Add 1 egg, warm water and oil.
2. With a dough hook attachment, knead the dough on low speed for 2 minutes, then add the salt and knead 5-6 minutes more.
3. Shape a ball from the dough and place in an oiled bowl, cover with a towel or plastic wrap. Let the dough rise about an hour (until double in size) in a warm place.
4. Cut the dough in half and each half cut into 3 (if you want 2 medium challahs) or just cut all the dough into 3 pieces (if you want 1 large challah).
5. Roll each piece of dough into a long rope roughly 1-inch thick and start braid the dough as described in the video.
6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and put the loaf on top, cover with towel and let rise about an hour.
7. Preheat oven to 360f/180c
8. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds (optional).
9. Bake 20-30 minutes until the top browns to a rich golden color (depends on loaf size).
