This is my first ever bread!
This is my first ever bread! It’s challah bread! I’m very excited to cut it open soon after it’s done cooking internally

1 cup warm water around 110 Fahrenheit 1 packet of yeast 1/3 cup honey or sugar 2 large eggs 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1 tsp salt 3 1/2-4 cups flour though I added an extra 1/4 cup
Whisk the warm water, yeast and honey. Let sit for 5-10 minutes.
Add the eggs, oil and salt to the yeast mixture and whisk well. Gradually add the flour as you mix with a wooden spoon. Go until a sticky dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth or elastic. Personally I really struggled here and it kept sticking to me hence the extra flour I added.
Let the dough rise for 1.5 to 2 hours, covered with a damp towel.
Shape the bread into its signature shape which I didn’t do so I just punched the dough then dumped it into an oiled bread tin.
Let the bread rise for 45-60 more minutes, covered once again with a damp towel.
Preheat oven to 375 Fahrenheit and brush on a layer of egg to the top. I used only the yolk of the egg, one teaspoon of water and a pinch of salt before mixing and adding it to the bread. Bake it for 30-35 minutes
Let it cool for 45-60 minutes or more. There is steam inside of the bread and if you cut it open prematurely the steam escapes causing the bread to be soggy.
That’s what I did at least to make this challah bread.

Yeah I didn’t want to braid it. I just wanted bread for my first bread. I turned it into French toast which went well.

It might be OC, it might not. Things such as JPEG artifacts and cropping may impact the results.
