This recipe provides a step-by-step guide to making honey challah, a sweet, braided bread traditionally enjoyed during Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. The process begins by activating yeast in warm water, followed by mixing in oil, eggs, salt, and sugar. The flour is incorporated next, after which the dough is kneaded. It's important to let the dough rise for a couple of hours, and a second rise is suggested, although it can be skipped if pressed for time. The dough is then braided, brushed with egg wash, optionally drizzled with honey, and baked. This challah is a festive, symbolic addition to the Rosh Hashanah celebration, sweetened to reflect the wish for a sweet new year.
