Bread Machine Chalah. I have a two pound bread machine and use it to make the Challah dough. I don't use the bread machine method, making the dough in my Kenwood mixer and giving the final knead by hand, then braiding the challah and baking it in the oven. I first shared this bread machine challah recipe over two years ago, when I was just starting the blog.
The ingredients are simple and dough is easy.
