Things You'll Need:
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup honey
- 3 eggs
- 1 tbsp. salt
-
Step 1
Place 1/2 cup of water in a small bowl and warm the water to approximately 110 degrees F. You can warm the water in the microwave.
-
Step 2
Sprinkle 2 1/2 tbsp. of yeast on the warm water. Mix the yeast and the water together with a spoon.
-
Step 3
Let the yeast and water mixture stand for approximately five minutes. When the yeast and water mixture appears foamy, it is ready to use in the challah recipe.
-
Step 1
Put the yeast and water mixture in the mixing bowl of your stand mixer.

Step 2
Add 1 1/2 cups of water to the mixing bowl.
-
Step 3
Measure out 1/4 cup of vegetable oil using a measuring cup, and add the vegetable oil to the mixing bowl.
-
Step 4
Pour 1/2 cup of honey into a measuring cup, and then transfer the honey to the mixing bowl. Use the same measuring cup that you used to measure the oil, as it makes it easier to get the honey out of the measuring cup.

Crack three eggs into a small bowl or a measuring cup. Make sure that the eggs contain no pieces of eggshell. Pour the eggs into the mixing bowl with the rest of the wet ingredients.
