Finally, the traditional sweet challah is shaped into a round rather than a braid.

Wait a few minutes, then stir.<\/p>\n<p>Add cold water to mixture in large bowl. (The stuff in the bowl should now be the right temperature to add yeast. If too hot, wait a few minutes; if too cold, put the bowl in the microwave to heat it.)<\/p>\n<p>Add yeast to large bowl.<\/p>\n<p>Add eggs to large bowl, reserving about 1 tablespoon.<\/p>\n<p>Add flour 1 cup at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.<\/p>\n<p>Turn out dough onto floured board and knead for 5 minutes, adding more flour as needed (but not too much). Dough is ready if it springs back after being poked with a finger.<\/p>\n<p>Put back into bowl, cover with dishtowel, and put in warm oven (heated to 170-200, and then turned off beforehand) until doubled &#8211; about 1 hour.<\/p>\n<p>Add 1 cup plumped raisins and mix well into the dough.<\/p>\n<p>Turn out onto floured board and knead for 1-2 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Divide dough into thirds.<\/p>\n<p>Take one of the thirds, and knead for another minute. Form it into a long snake; then wrap the snake up around itself in a coil, tucking the outside end under the coil to keep it from unwinding during baking. Place on a greased or parchment-lined cookie sheet or round cake pan.<\/p>\n<p>Repeat for 2 other thirds. Put formed loaves into oven (pre-heated and then turned off, as before) for about 45 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Remove from oven. Turn oven to 350.<\/p>\n<p>Brush tops gently with reserved egg.<\/p>\n<p>Bake for about 30 minutes; times will vary. Watch for moderate browning on top, but be careful not to allow scorching on bottom.<\/p>\n<p>Remove from cookie sheet, and put on dish towels to cool.<\/p>\n<p>YUM!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>K.
