Famous Hallah

A staple at college potlucks and Fringe exec meetings, this hallah is delicious, chewy, and a great stress relief. Next time instead of beating away at a kickboxing class when you're stressed just knead some dough.

makes 3 medium sized loafs:

3 tbsp yeast (4 packets)

4 cups warm water

1 cup oil

6 eggs

14 cups flour

3/4 cup sugar

1 1/2 tbsp salt

In a small bowl combine yeast, water, 1 tbsp sugar, set aside until it has risen and bubbled (yeast will start to smell, well, gross and yeasty)

Combine all ingredients except flour in a really big bowl, mix well

Add yeast mixture and mix again

Slowly add in flour until dough is no longer sticky

Cover with a damp cloth/paper towel and let rise for 1 1/2 hours

Braid (I'll post pictures of the braiding eventually)

Bake at 350 for 30-40 min
