Directions
Combine all ingredients in the pan in the order listed and select white bread; push start When I make this into Challa, I remove from the breadmaker after the manual mode stops; let rise; braid*; and put an egg wash over the challa. Then bake in a 350 degree oven until a light toasty brown. I usually sprinkle on some type of seeds (sesame or poppy) after the egg wash.
*Braiding in the flat manner. The middle one goes under and over; never across.
