Mix well and add the yeast. Mix well and let set for about 3 to 4 minutes. Mix together the remaining ingredients, except the chopped almonds. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the liquid, mixing well. Keep adding the flour mix- ture until a dough forms and leaves the side of the bowl. At this point take the remaining flour mixture and sprinkle it on a dry hard surface. Place the dough on top of the remaining flour mixture and kneed it into the dough. Kneed the dough for about 5 to 6 minutes. You don't need to incorporate all the remaining flour mixture into the dough, just enough to give the dough a smooth satin like finish. Place the dough in a bowl and cover. Allow the dough and allow to rise for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Punch down the dough and allow to rise for an ad- ditional 45 minutes. Remove the dough from the bowl, add the chopped nuts, and shape into any shape you desire. Place it on a greased and floured cookie sheet and bake for 45 minutes at 350 or until golden brown. This challah should be allowed to cool for about an hour before serving. Makes 2 challahs. — Eileen Goltz 1996
