Comment préparer Sesame Seed Challah Egyptian Holiday Bread

Activate yeast: In a small bowl, combine 1 cup (240ml) warm water, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 4 cups (500g) all-purpose flour, ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar, 1 ½ teaspoons salt, and 2 large eggs.
Add yeast mixture: Add the activated yeast mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Knead the dough: The dough will be slightly sticky. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the dough is too sticky.
First rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled large bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Shape the loaves: Gently punch down the dough to release the air. Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a round or oval loaf.
Second rise: Place the loaves on a greased baking sheet, leaving some space between them. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Egg wash and sesame seeds: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the loaves with the egg wash and sprinkle generously with sesame seeds.
Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
Cool: Let the loaves cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
