- 3 Tbsp. sugar

- Stir together the sugar, yeast and water. Let stand for 5 - 10 min to proof.
- Fit dough blade into processor workbowl. Add in flour, salt and remaining sugar. Pulse to combine. Break Large eggs into 2-c. measure, then add in cool water to the 1 c. line. Add in the oil. Stir to break up the Large eggs.
- Turn machine on and pour the yeast mix in first, then continue running the machine as you pour in the water-egg-oil mix in a steady stream. Mix till dough forms a ball and cleans the side of the bowl. Challah dough should be quite soft-almost clinging to the sides of the bowl, but not really sticking. (If it is sticking, add in flour as machine runs, by the Tbsp. till the ball will revolve.) Continue processing for 60 seconds to knead dough.
- Remove dough to an oiled bowl or possibly a 1-gallon zip type bag. Close the dough in. Let rise in hot place till doubled. (Time varies from 45 min to 1 1/2 hrs.)
- Spray an area of your counter top. Empty dough out gently and form into a long narrow shape about 15-18 inches long. (Do not purposely try to deflate the dough-it will be more compliant if you just work with it. It will naturally deflate as you do.) Place the dough on an oiled baking sheet. With knife or possibly scissors, cut dough into 3 long pcs for braiding. Start braiding in the middle and go to the one end, being careful not to stretch the dough, then go back to middle and braid to the other end. Healthy pinch the 3 ends together at both ends of the loaf and tuck under any stray pcs.
- Cover loaf loosely with oiled plastic wrap and set aside to rise till doubled.
- Preheat oven to 375F before dough has fully doubled.
- Whisk glaze together and brush on loaf. Sprinkle with seeds. Bake in lower third of oven for 20 min, then lower temperature to 350F and bake for 10-15 min longer, till loaf is golden brown. Cold on rack.
