Heavenly Hallah

Ingredients:
1 package of yeast (or 1 T.)
1 ½ cups hot water
about 6 cups flour
2 T. vegetable oil
3-4 T. sugar
½ t. salt
1 egg
1 egg for top

Equipment:
1 large bowl
1 small bowl
1 large spoon
1 large baking pan
1 towel
1 pastry brush (or unused paint brush)

Dissolve yeast in water with 1 T. sugar in large bowl (water should be hot, but not boiling). Mix egg, oil, rest of sugar, salt in small bowl. Pour mixture into large bowl after yeast foams (about 5 min.). Add flour a little at a time and stir to take out lumps. After you add about three or four cups of flour, the mixture will become too thick to stir. Wash your hands, and knead the dough by pressing down on it with your palms, adding more flour until you can make the dough into a large ball which isn’t sticky.
