Zomick’s Challah Recipe –  Star-shaped machine Challah

Ingredients

  • 500 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 6 eggs
  • 125 g sugar
  • 10 g salt
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons  rum
  • 1/2 vanilla extract
  • 250 g cooled butter, cut into squares
  • 200 g raisins (optional)
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Directions

  1. Stir the flour and yeast in the bread machine and add the eggs, sugar, salt, rum, and vanilla. Knead until ingredients are well mixed and smooth. Put one-half of the dough aside in an oiled bowl.
  2. Pour the remaining butter into the dough and knead again until the butter is well mixed. Then put the rest of the dough and knead until everything is well mixed. Put the dough in the bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise for 2 hours.
  3. After 2 hours, knead the dough for 2 minutes, put it back in the bowl (add oil, if necessary), cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
  4. The next day, split the dough into 18 balls of equal weight (I suggest you split the dough into three large pieces, then each piece into two pieces, and finally, into three pieces each (weighing at each stage), so that the balls have the same weight). Add in raisins by slightly kneading each ball. Then, you will make three buns of brioches.
  5. Put a ball in the center and 5 balls star-shaped around the central ball, leaving a little space for the challah to rise while baking. Place it in a greased loaf pan. Beat the egg yolk with milk and brush the challah with the mixture. Preheat the oven to 175 ° C, and let the rest challahs near the heat source for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
  6. Before baking, brush the loaves and put them in the oven. Bake at 160 ° C for 40 minutes or until golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Let cool on wire racks for 1 hour.

A note from the cookbook: The Zomick’s challah is even better when topped with cheese, butter, or even mustard. By using a non-dairy condiment, you can make the challah pareve. Also, try and combine small challah rolls with cheese alongside a hot bowl of Zomick’s meat borscht. Your family will be delighted.

This Zomick’s Challah Recipe originates from Israel. Actually, this bread represents the Star of David. For Zomick’s bread use quality butter and, if possible, baker’s yeast to get good results. Furthermore, the dough must be refrigerated overnight.
