How to Make Challah Ii With Maple Syrup Glaze Eggless Version

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, dissolve 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar in 1/2 cup (120ml) warm water.
  3. Sprinkle 2 1/4 teaspoons (7g) active dry yeast over the water mixture. Let stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
  4. Add remaining ingredients (see below) to the mixing bowl.
  5. If using a stand mixer, knead with a dough hook for 6-8 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. If using a bread machine, follow the machine's dough cycle.
  6. Lightly oil a large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1-1.5 hours).
  7. Gently punch down the dough.
  8. Let rise again until doubled in size (about 45-60 minutes).
  9. Gently punch down the dough.
  10. Divide the dough into 3 equal parts.
  11. Roll each portion into a long strand (about 24 inches long).
  12. Braid the three strands together, tucking the ends underneath.
  13. Cover the braided dough with a clean kitchen towel and let rise until almost doubled (about 30-45 minutes).
  14. Brush the top of the challah with maple syrup glaze (recipe below).
  15. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  16. Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
