Khala, or Teach me to weave pigtails

Ingredients

water at room temperature, ml 300
dry yeast, tsp 5
salt, tsp 2
sugar, st. l. 5
eggs, pcs. 5
vegetable oil, art. l. 5
flour, gr. 1000
sesame seeds for sprinkling, gr. 10

Cooking method

  • I decided to adapt the recipe of I.I.Lazerson and his daughter (Thank you, chef) for kneading dough in a bread maker. In principle, the recipe has not undergone major changes, so copyright of the Master.
  • We dilute in 300 ml. water at room temperature 5 tsp. dry yeast, 5 tbsp. l. sugar and 2 tsp of salt, load into the HP. IMPORTANT - HP should be designed for making bread of at least 1200 grams, otherwise it is better not to bother and knead the dough with your hands! Then add flour (1 kg), 4 eggs (in the original there were 2 eggs and 4 yolks), vegetable oil (5 tbsp. L). We put HP on kneading yeast dough. The dough should mix well, the bun should be formed. After that, the fun begins.
  • No more bread maker needed. We remove the dough from the CP, place it in a proofing container, cover it with cling film and put it in a warm place for 1 hour. I put it in an electric oven, setting it to convection mode and a temperature of 40 degrees. After an hour of proofing, knead the dough, which will rise 2.5-3 times and then proof it again for 20 minutes.
  • The dough will rise twice again. We take it out of the container onto the table, divide it into two equal pieces. We divide each piece into 5 parts and roll sausages of the same length, about 80 cm each.
  • We begin to weave a pigtail of 5 sausages: we throw the rightmost sausage through three to the left, then we throw the leftmost sausage through two to the right, then we throw the sausage that is to the right of the previous one through it. He explained confusedly, but understood. Then we repeat the cycle until the sausages run out in length.

  • Challah will turn out. We make the second bread from the second piece of dough.
  • Cover the baking sheet with waxed paper, put the bread along the length of the baking sheet, put it in a warm place for proofing for an hour. I used the oven again.

  • After proofing, the dough will increase again. Break the remaining egg into a bowl, add 2 tbsp. tablespoons of water, beat with a whisk, generously grease the top surface of the product, sprinkle with sesame seeds.

  • I baked at 180 degrees on convection for 30 minutes.

  • Photographed on a baking sheet, so sorry for the quality The total weight of the bread came out 1750 grams.
  • Bon Appetit!
  • Good luck, bakers!

Thank you for your kind words! I hope you repeat the recipe and you will like the bread. Next time I would add more sugar (well, I like sweets). With milk, fresh bread comes in with a bang!

Good luck!

For some reason, this bread always suits well. I suspect due to the large amount of yeast.
When I baked for the first time, I remembered the USSR and loaves of 20 kopecks each with poppy seeds.
When I tried to sprinkle it with poppy seeds, I was amazed at the similarity!

Good luck!

I used a new method of weaving: left "sausage" two to the right, then right "sausage" two to the left, then left again after two and so on to the end. More simply, you don't have to bother with memorization. Probably, I will weave this way, if someone does not tell me another principle of weaving.
Here's what happened today:

In principle, the recipe is stable, you can eat it.

Good luck!
