Vanilla Apple Challah
From jo_jo_ba 16 years agoIngredients
- ½ cup warm water shopping list
- ½ tbsp active dry yeast shopping list
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar shopping list
- 1 cup warm milk shopping list
- 2 eggs shopping list
- 2 tbsp vanilla shopping list
- 3 tbsp unsweetened applesauce shopping list
- 1 tbsp olive oil shopping list
- 3 tbsp honey shopping list
- 2 cups Kamut flour shopping list
- 1 tsp vital wheat gluten (optional) shopping list
- ½ tsp salt shopping list
- 1 tsp cinnamon shopping list
- ¼ tsp nutmeg shopping list
- 2 cups flour shopping list
- 1/2 cup diced dry apples shopping list
- 1 egg white (for egg wash) shopping list
How to make it
- In a large bowl combine the water, yeast, and sugar. Allow to stand 10 minutes.
- Beat in the milk, eggs, vanilla, applesauce, oil and honey.
- Stir in Kamut flour, followed by gluten, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Gradually begin beating in remaining flour, alternating with the apple pieces, until the dough clears the sides of the mixing bowl and is almost too stiff to mix (it will be too stiff if you are doing this by hand).
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead about 5 minutes.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat.
- Cover and allow it to rise until doubled in bulk, about 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Deflate the dough, and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead briefly and braid as desired.
- Place the braided dough on your baking sheet, cover loosely and let rise 1 hour.
- Brush the dough with egg white.
- Bake for 35 minutes, or until the bread is a deep golden brown and sounds hollow when you thump it on the bottom.
- Transfer it to a baking rack to cool.
