Challahis sort of my thing.I've been baking my own and tweaking my recipe since I was 16 years old,每当我受到启发，我都喜欢想出新的口味组合。
I generally prefer savory challah,因为你可以用剩菜当三明治。But every now and then a sweet challah with chocolate chips,肉桂色，raisins,or chocolate really hits the spot.
Not everyone loves the flavor combination of peanut butter and chocolate,and I consider those people crazy.What is better than peanut butter and chocolate!?Well,maybe peanut butter and chocolate in a challah.With crumbs on top.Served with a cup of coffee,and this is what my breakfast dreams are made out of.
Tip：烤沙拉不是一个小时的过程，so definitely give yourself plenty of lead time.And don't rush the rising–the longer you let the dough rise,the fluffier it will be.
Happy challah baking!
Ingredients
For dough:
5 cups unbleached all-purpose flour plus extra for dusting
1/2 Tbsp yeast
1 1/4杯温水
1茶匙糖
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
1/2杯糖
1/2 Tbsp salt
2 eggs plus 1 egg for brushing
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
For crumb topping:
1/2 cup flour
3 Tbsp margarine
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 cup peanut butter
Directions
Put yeast and 1 tsp sugar into a small bowl.加温水，stir gently and allow to sit until foamy bubbles form on top,around 10 minutes.
In the meantime,mix together 1 1/2 cups flour,sugar,salt,vanilla,peanut butter and vegetable oil in a mixing bowl fitted with the whisk attachment.当酵母水混合物准备好时，add to flour mixture until it is incorporated.
Add eggs one at a time and another cup of flour.Mix thoroughly.
换成搅拌机上的面团挂钩，or if working without a mixer,continue to mix in a large bowl.Add chocolate chips.
When the dough is too difficult to stir,flour a working surface and start kneading.Add remaining flour and knead for 10 more minutes.
Grease a large bowl and add dough to bowl.Cover with warm,湿毛巾。Let dough rise for 2-6 hours,punching down at least once.
To make the crumbs,add flour,brown sugar,salt,margarine and peanut butter to a bowl.Using a pastry cutter or two knives,cut ingredients together until small-medium size crumbs form.Set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
When challah has risen,braid challah into two medium sized loaves.Place loaves on baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silpat.Allow challah to rise 30-60 minutes extra.
Brush challah with beaten egg and sprinkle crumbs on top.
烤25-30分钟或者直到外面是金色的，插在中间的牙签很干净。
