How to Make Challah Dough

subheading: Dough Ingredients:

1 ½ cups lukewarm water, divided

1 packet active dry yeast (1 packet is equivalent to 2 ¼ tsp or .25 ounce active dry yeast) - you may substitute 1 ¾ teaspoons of instant yeast or .6 ounce compressed fresh yeast (1 small cake)

1 tsp sugar

1 large egg

3 large egg yolks

⅓ cup honey

2 tbsp avocado oil (I prefer avocado oil for flavor and health reasons - you may substitute sunflower oil or canola oil)

2 tsp salt

4 ½ to 6 cups all purpose flour - PLEASE NOTE - if you are using the metric conversion tool on this recipe, the flour is not updating correctly. The correct metric measurements for flour are 562.5 to 750 grams (do not change the recipe serving sizes or it will not work)
