Rorie’s Egg Free Spelt Dough Challah (birchas hamotzi)
Ingredients:
Directions:
In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the dough hook or paddle attachment, combine water, honey and yeast and allow to proof for 5-7 minutes.
Add oil and Rorie’s Egg Free Spelt Dough Mix.
Knead on low for 5 minutes.
Do not add any additional flour. To work with the dough, Rorie suggests wearing oiled gloves.
Shape immediately without allowing to rise.
For rolls, shape dough as desired into knots or twists and place on lightly greased cookie sheets at intervals of a few inches.
For larger challahs, braid each one as desired and arrange on lightly greased cookie sheets or loaf pans. Brush with egg and sprinkle with seeds, if using.
Allow to rise for 35 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F and bake for 25-40 minutes depending on the size of your challahs.
Remove from oven and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Enjoy fresh or freeze for later use. Before freezing, wrap cooled baked goods individually in foil and seal in a freezer bag.
Defrost at room temperature or rewarm before serving.
