Challah
3 package Yeast
1 1/3 cup Warm water (110ø-115ø)
1 tbsp Granulated sugar
1 tsp Salt
3 tbsp Softened butter/margerine
3 each Large eggs lightly beaten
6 cup Unleached white flour
1 each Egg, well beaten
1 each With 1 Tablespoon water (a w
1 each Poppy seeds
Add 1 Tablespoon sugar and yeast to warm water, stir well and "proof"
the yeast (I'm old-fashioned and still do this). After the yeast
proofs, add rest of the sugar, butter/margerine, 3 lightly beaten
eggs, and five cups flour. As your stir together, add salt (done
this way because salt can kill yeast if added directly). Beat
ingredients with a spoon, gradually adding flour, until dough is
stiff. Knead on board until dough is smooth and elastic (8-10mins).
Cover and let rise in warm place -- until about doubled in size
(1.5-2hrs).
Punch down and knead dough until all the bubbles are gone. Divide
into 6 parts, roll each part between your hands into a rope about 1"
in diameter. Braid 3 ropes each into 2 loaves. Place two braids about
6" apart on a buttered/margerined cookie sheet, and allow to raise in
a warm place until almost doubled in size. Brush tops with egg/water
wash and sprinkle lightly with poppy seeds. Bake in pre-heated 400ø
oven for 35-40 mins, or until loaves sound hollow when tapped. Cool
covered with a soft towel on racks.

A few tips on healthy eating
If you want to become thinner and enhance your general condition, then you really should decide on a methodically designed solid weight loss regime. In a perfect world, this must take in five measures of fruit & veg each day and take in a sensible mixture of fat, carbs and protein.
When starting a weight loss program, people usually become obsessed with supermarket and well known food products labelled as 'low in fat'. This is most certainly an error, given that an item might be lowered in fats, but whilst still remaining contain far too much calories and carbs.
When deciding on a weight loss program, the most important step is to attempt to cut down your consumption of salt, fat and refined carbohydrate.
