Wiener Dog Braided Challah Loaf
Wiener Dog Braided Challah Loaf bakes up with a tender crumb and a lightly sweet, yeasty aroma, thanks to honey and a leaner dough. It captures the soft, pull-apart texture of classic challah while keeping the flavor clean and versatile. Serve it warm for dinner, as sandwich slices, or toasted for breakfast with a smear of butter.

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in warm water. Let it sit until creamy, about 10 minutes.
- 2
In a large bowl, mix the yeast mixture with the oil, salt, and 3 cups flour; stir well to combine. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough comes together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and supple, about 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in it, and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide it into two equal portions and shape into two long oval loaves. Place them on two lightly greased baking sheets. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in size, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- 4
Just before baking, make three shallow slashes on each risen loaf with a sharp knife. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, reduce the heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and brush with beaten egg white. Return the loaves to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until golden brown and the bottoms sound hollow when tapped.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
