Ingredients
To make this halloween challah, you will need the following ingredients:
For the dough:
3 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons of salt
1 packet of active dry yeast
¾ cup of warm water
¼ cup of honey
¼ cup of vegetable oil
2 eggs
For the decoration:
Food coloring (orange, green, and purple)
1 egg, beaten
Assorted Halloween-themed cookie cutters
Instructions
Step 1: Make the dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the yeast, warm water, and honey until the yeast is dissolved. Add the yeast mixture, vegetable oil, and eggs to the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes, then place it in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise for about an hour.
Step 2: Add the food coloring
Once the dough has risen, divide it into three equal parts. Add a few drops of food coloring to each dough ball and knead until the color is evenly distributed. For a more vibrant color, add a few more drops of food coloring. Cover and let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
Step 3: Shape the dough
Roll out each dough ball into a long rope and braid them together. Using the cookie cutters, cut out Halloween-themed shapes from the remaining dough and place them on top of the braided dough. Use the beaten egg to brush the dough and shapes, which will give them a shiny finish.
Step 4: Bake and enjoy!
Preheat your oven to 375°F and bake the halloween challah for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Let it cool before slicing and serving. The bread can be served as is, or you can add a sweet glaze or sprinkle some powdered sugar on top for added sweetness.
In just a few easy steps, you can make this halloween challah that is both spooky and delicious. It is the perfect addition to any Halloween party or a fun activity to do with your kids. So don't be afraid to get creative and have some fun with this festive bread. Happy Halloween!
