Laurene:
Here is my grandmother's Challah recipe.
1/3 cup shortening
2 tbs each honey and sugar
1 tsp salt
4 eggs,
1 cup lukewarm water with a 1/2 tsp sugar
2 pkgs yeast
4-5 cups flour
Place yeast in cup of water with sugar to start. Cream shortening, salt,
honey and sugar. Add the eggs one at a time (Beat each egg slightly before
adding). When yeast starts bubbling add to egg-shortening mixture. Add
flour until dough is formed. Knead dough for about 10 minutes until
elastic. Place in covered, greased bowl and let rise until double in bulk
(about 2-3 hours). Punch down and knead another 10 minutes. Shape into
braid or knots. Set on greased baking sheets and cover. Let rise again
until double in size (about 2-3 hours). Brush a mixture of beaten egg and
honey on the loaves and bake on 350 for 1 hour or until golden brown.
Enjoy!
