Instructions

1. Put the flour, yeast, sugar, salt and garlic powder in a bowl (or stand mixer bowl) and mix. Make a well in the middle and add the egg, oil and water.
2. Knead on low speed. If the dough is too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons water; if too sticky, add 1-2 tablespoons flour. Knead for 4-5 minutes.
3. Add the parsley, thyme, oregano and parmesan and knead for 2-3 more minutes until the dough is soft and smooth.
4. Put the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, until doubled in size.
5. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each into a rope about 1 inch thick. If a rope keeps shrinking, rest it for 5 minutes, then roll again.
6. Braid the four ropes into a challah. Place it on a parchment-lined baking tray, cover and let rise for 45-60 minutes.
7. Preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C).
8. Brush the loaf gently with beaten egg mixed with oil. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if you like.
9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown at the edges. Let cool for at least 30 minutes.
