If you bake challah regularly you can consider this recipe an easy one. Yummy eggless challah with dried fruits as a filling.
Ingredients
- 3½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon dry yeast

For the filling:
- ⅓ cup dried fruits (I used raisins, cranberries and chopped apricot)
For garnish:
- Handful sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a stand mixer bowl, place all dough ingredients, but make sure you don’t place the dry yeast directly in with the salt as it will cause the dough to not rise.

- Grease the bowl and let the dough rise for 2 hours.
- Divide the dough into 6 strands and braid them.
- Place the challah on a baking pan and let it rise for one more hour.
