Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
4 tablespoons active dry yeast
4 cups warm water
1/2 cup Honey or sugar
4 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon salt
12 cups spelt flour, a little more only if needed

Topping
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup water
Sesame or poppy seeds

Directions:
Directions:
Mix the yeast, water and honey or sugar in a big bowl, and let the mixture bubble for about 5 minutes.

Add the eggs, oil and salt, and beat.

Add the flour, and mix thoroughly.

Transfer the mixture to a lightly-floured flat working surface, and knead for about 15 minutes, turning the dough a quarter of a turn every 2-3 minutes and punching it down often to eliminate any air pockets (or transfer the mixture to the bowl of a dough maker.

Set for 10 minutes of kneading).

Transfer the kneaded dough into a big mixing bowl (remember, it will expand).

Sprinkle flour all around the dough.

Let rise, covered with a cloth, in a warm draft-free area for 2 hours.

Shape the Challah

Divide the dough into 4 pieces.

Divide each piece into thirds and roll each third into a long thin rope.

Pinch the 3 ropes together at one end to hold them in place.

Braid, and place the braid on a foil-covered cookie sheet.

Repeat with the rest of the dough.

Place the loaves well apart in the pan (you might need more than a pan: Bake one at a time).

Brush each loaf with the egg-and-water mixture, and top with seeds if desired.

Bake in a preheated 350 degrees Fahrenheit oven for 45 minutes to an hour.
