Challah (Egg Bread)

Submitted by Chef Joey Z.

"I got this particular recipe out of my Breadman Bread Book. The books explicity states to add the liquid ingredients first. So I will list them in the order I put them into the machine. I used Nu Laid egg replacers instead of eggs to lessen the cholesterol. I was so pleased with this recipe and the bread rose up very high. I added a 1/4 cup of currants to the bread when it beeped 3 times just to add something different to the mix. This is for a 2 pound loaf. I used the basic bread setting with a medium crust."

3. Just make sure that you add the yeast last, it shouldn't touch the wet ingredients.
