Challah bread

5 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp yeast
2 1/4 cups of hot water
3 eggs
1/4 cup of veg oil


Mix dry ingredients well. Add the wet ingredients, mixing slowly. Knead for 10 minutes. If the dough is wet, add an extra cup of flour. Let rise for 2 hours. Punch down and divide the dough into two balls. Let the dough rise again for two hours. Gently braid, as to not deflate. Let rise another 25 minutes.

Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.
