Friday Night Challah

I wanted to make a challah last night, but didn't have time for my traditional braided one. So, I opted to use the Baker and am pleased to report that it was successful. I apologize for not having taken a picture, but the bread was consumed before I could get to it. This is the recipe that I used:
3 cups white flour
1 1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. yeast
2 eggs
1/4 cup honey
barely 1/4 cup oil
Water to bring the wet ingredients to 1 1/2 cups

The resulting bread was quite good and sliced better than any of the others have. This morning I could slice the remnant very thin. I'm glad that I tried this.

  3. This sounds so good that I'd like to make it... could you post the rest of the instructions? Is it something like, knead all together, rest for 2 hours, proof, rise for 2 hours, then bake at 450?
