How to Make Choereg Bread Machine

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add the following ingredients to your bread machine in the order specified by your manufacturer's instructions: 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon mahleb, 1 tablespoon caraway seeds, 4 cups all-purpose flour, and the yeast mixture.
  3. Select the dough setting on your bread machine and let it run.
  4. Once the dough cycle is complete, gently turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
  5. Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces (approximately 1.5 oz each).
  6. Roll each piece into a long rope (about 12 inches). Braid three ropes together to create individual choereg strands.
  7. Let the braided loaves rise for 30-60 minutes in a warm place, or until doubled in size.
  8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  9. Brush the braided loaves with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water).
  10. Sprinkle generously with sesame seeds.
  11. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
  12. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your delicious Armenian Choereg!
