Instructions<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Add the warm water, yeast and 1 tsp. of sugar to a large mixing bowl. Stir briefly until yeast is dissolved. Wait 10 minutes until the mixture has a foamy layer on top.<\/li>\n
  2. Add the eggs, 1\/3 cup of sugar, salt, canola oil, and sesame oil. Mix well. You can\u2019t clearly taste the sesame oil in the challah, but it adds a hidden delicious flavor.<\/li>\n
  3. Add the flour gradually while mixing until a dough forms. When the dough is too dense to mix with a spoon, use your hands. After all the flour is mixed in, knead the dough for 10 mins. Use the 1\/4 cup flour to dust the dough while kneading. It should be a bit wet and sticky. Don\u2019t over-flour it. Place in a greased bowl and cover with a towel. Place in a warm area in your kitchen. Let rise for at least 1 hour or until double in size.<\/li>\n
  4. After the dough has doubled in size, knock it down with your hands to release the air bubbles. Time for the second rise. Let rise for 1 more hour.<\/li>\n
  5. Preheat oven to 350F\/175C. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle until dough is a 1\/4 inch thick. If the dough is too tough to work with, let it rest for 10 minutes then try again. The length of the rectangle should be slightly more than the width. You can trim off extra dough to make it a rectangle. Place a line of apple slices 1\/3 of the way from the bottom of the rectangle (see picture below).\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
