Ingredients for Maple-Glazed Vegan Water Challah Recipe

  • 0.08 cup Warm Water
  • 1/50 cup Maple Syrup
  • 0.19 teaspoon Active Dry Yeast
  • 0.17 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 0.33 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 0.08 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.17 tablespoon Maple Syrup
  • 0.08 tablespoon Water

Directions: Maple-glazed Vegan Water Challah Recipe

Cooking Directions

  • STEP 1.In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, maple syrup, yeast, and olive oil. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is activated.
  • STEP 2.Add the flour and salt to the bowl and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  • STEP 3.Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
  • STEP 4.Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • STEP 5.Divide the dough into 3 equal parts and roll each part into a long rope. Braid the ropes together and place the braided challah on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • STEP 6.In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup and water to make the glaze. Brush the glaze over the challah.
  • STEP 7.Bake the challah in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  • STEP 8.Remove from the oven and let it cool before serving.
  • STEP 9.Store the leftover challah in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Cooking Tips

  • Make sure the water is warm, but not too hot, to activate the yeast properly.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a little more water.
  • For a shiny crust, brush the challah with the glaze twice during baking - once before putting it in the oven and once halfway through.
  • You can customize the flavor by adding raisins, cinnamon, or other spices to the dough.

Storage and Serving

  • Serve the Maple-Glazed Vegan Water Challah warm or at room temperature.
  • It can be enjoyed on its own, with vegan butter, or used to make sandwiches or French toast.
  • To store, place the cooled challah in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap.
  • Reheat in the oven or toaster oven for a few minutes before serving, if desired.
