CHALLAH GLAZE:

1 egg, well beaten with 1 tsp water

CHALLAH TOPPINGS:

Directions

1. Pour the warm water into a small bowl.
   Then add the yeast and sugar in as well.
   Now give the yeast a few minutes to bloom.
2. In a large bowl, pour the boiling water. Add
   In the salt. Then pour the oil, honey, and vanilla in as well
   Once the water has cooled down, add
   the eggs to the mixture, now whisk everything until they all combine.
3. Now the yeast mixture should be foamy.
   Add it to the large bowl then stir everything to
   combine.
4. Add the first amount of flour in and stir, now
   gradually add in the last amount beginning
   to knead by hand or mixer when the dough
   becomes too tough to mix with a spoon.
5. Let the dough to rest for a few minutes
   before kneading. This lets it relax and allows an easier finish to your
   Kneading. We do this because whole wheat is very dense
   and hard to work with.
6. Knead your dough until it springs back when
   lightly touched. Let your dough rest for a
   few minutes during this process.
7. Pour 3-4 teaspoons of oil into the bowl.
   Turn your dough around in the oil until
   the outer layer of the dough has been thinly
   coated.
8. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a warm,
   damp dishcloth and place in a warm,
   darkened spot to rise. Allow the dough to rise
   for at least three hours, to allow for a lighter dough.
   If you’re letting the dough rise for longer than three hours,
   let out some air in the middle of the rising.
9. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
10. Divide the dough and braid or shape as
    desired. Place shaped challahs on a greased
    baking sheet.
11. Brush each challah or pizza with the egg glaze
    immediately after braiding.
12. Allow challahs to rise for another
    30-45 minutes.
13. Now glaze your challah or pizza again, drizzle some honey on top then sprinkle some oats on.
14. Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.
    Your Challah or Pizza is ready when its underside
    is brown and it sounds hollow when tapped.
