Put all the ingredients in the breadmaker in this order, putting the yeast on top.
Set for 2 lb. white. After Rise 2, remove dough and make into challah shapes and let them rise.
Bake at 350 °F for about 25 minutes for 2 small. Do not overbake. If it smells like Challah - - take 'em out of the oven!
Notes
We always make one and freeze one. Kids LOVE this challah - it is also good with or without raisins.
Substitutions
Gluten: Gluten is a protein found in specific grains (wheat, spelt, kamut, barley, rye). Other grains are naturally gluten-free but may have cross-contact with gluten-containing grains. Look for certified gluten-free products if you need to avoid gluten. Find out more about wheat and gluten substitutions.
