Put the ingredients in your machine in your usual order, on the White Dough cycle. Try not to peek during the rise time.

Dump the dough onto a lightly floured board, divide into 3 sections, stretch to about 8-9" ropes, and braid. ( Other shapes such as big circles ringed together are also exquisite).In the meantime, heat oven to Warm. When temperature is reached, Turn The Oven Off. Put the challah braid onto a greased cookie sheet .Place in warmed oven for half an hour to rise. Remove from oven and now preheat the oven to 350. Apply a glaze by brushing with a mixture of an egg yolk and a tablespoon of water. Sprinkle with sesame or other seeds, if you like. Bake at 350 for @ 30-40 minutes, until nicely browned.
