3 TBSP yeast (I use instant rise)
3 cups lukewarm water
1 cup sugar
6 beaten eggs
2 tsp salt
2 cups butter, melted, and cooled to slightly warm
9-10 cups flour
Put water in bowl of mixer, sprinkle on yeast. Stir in sugar. Stir in beaten eggs.
Add salt, butter, and 1/2 of flour, mix well. Add rest of flour up to a total of 9 cups, mixing with dough hook. While continuing to mix, add up to 1 more cup flour if needed. Mix for 2 minutes.
Dough will be somewhat soft and a little sticky. Put dough in greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and put in warm place to rise, til double. Could take an hour to an hour and a half. Punch down, and form into rolls, small loaves, or braid for challah ( makes 2 challah loaves).
Cover with white dish towel put in warm place and let rise til double.
Pre heat oven to 400 degrees
Bake rolls 8-12 minutes til golden.
Brush challah gently with beaten egg, and bake for 20 -30 minutes til deep golden.
