Equipment

  • Bread Machine

Ingredients
  

For the Bread Machine Challah:

  • ¾ cup water
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp. sugar
  • 1¼ tsp. salt
  • 3 cups flour (360g)
  • 2 tsp. active dry yeast

For Blueberry Stuffed French Toast:

  • 2½ cups blueberries
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 tsp. cornstarch
  • 8 one inch thick slices of challah
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 tbsp. heavy cream
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 6 ounces softened cream cheese
  • 1 tbsp. brown sugar
  • 4 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • ½ cup creme fraiche
  • 1 tsp. honey

Instructions
 

For the Bread Machine Challah:

  • Add all the ingredients (except for one of the eggs) in the order suggested by your bread machine's instructions. Set the machine on the dough cycle, and let it run the full cycle.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Divide the dough into three balls. Turn the balls into ropes and then braid the. Place the braid on a parchment covered baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise twenty minutes.
  • Mix the egg with one tablespoon of water. Brush the challah with the egg wash and bake for 25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

For the Blueberry Stuffed French Toast with Creme Fraiche:

  • For the Blueberry Syrup: In a three quart saucepan over medium heat, simmer 1½ cups of blueberries with ¼ of sugar, ¼ of water and the cornstarch. Simmer ten minutes.
  • Mix together the cream cheese, brown sugar, and one tablespoon of blueberry syrup. Spread this mixture on 4 slices of challah. Top each one with a plain slice of challah, so that you have 4 challah sandwiches.
  • Beat the eggs, cinnamon, and heavy cream together.
  • Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Dip each challah sandwich briefly in the egg mixture. You don't want to soak the bread in the egg. Fry the sandwiches on both sides until they're golden brown.
  • Mix together the honey and creme fraiche. Top each cooked sandwich with creme fraiche, blueberry syrup, and the rest of the blueberries.
