OK, so I broke the mixer trying hamantaschen, but I do make a mean challah. Though I'm on my 2nd bread machine, so perhaps I should just stay away from small appliances.
The recipe is adjusted through trial-and-error...your bread machine may differ.
here it is:
First put in bread machine:
2 eggs
1/3 cup oil (I use canola)
1/3 cup honey
approx 3/4 cup warm water - you'll probably need more
1.5 tsp salt
Then put in
2 cups white flour
1.5 cups whole wheat flour
about 1/4 cup (a little less) gluten
Hollow out some space in the flour and put in
2 tsp yeast.
Put bread machine on the dough cycle, and monitor. The dough will likely be too dry - add warm water 1 tsp at a time until good consistency.
During cycle, add a bunch of raisins, if desired, toward the end of the kneading part.
After the cycle, take the dough out, punch it down, and split into either 6 or 9 parts. Braid into either 2 or 3 challahs, and place on greased pans, and cover. Let sit about an hour.
If you want to glaze - after about 45 min., brush with a mixture of 1 egg yolk, pinch of salt and a tsp of water.
Put in preheated oven at 350 for about 30 min. Check frequently, remove when golden brown. Let cool, and put in airtight bags.
