The bread dough is shaped into the form of a cute wiener dog, complete with legs and a tail. The dough is fluffy and slightly sweet, making it the perfect accompaniment to any meal.

Instructions

1.	In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, honey, and yeast. Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2.	Add the vegetable oil and salt to the mixture.
3.	Gradually add in the bread flour, one cup at a time, stirring until the dough starts to come together.
4.	Knead the dough for 10-15 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise for 1 hour until it doubles in size.
5.	Preheat the oven to 375°F.
6.	Grease a baking sheet.
7.	On a floured surface, divide the dough into four equal parts and roll each into a long rope. Cut each rope into three equal parts, leaving one end of each part attached to the rope, to resemble a dog's legs.
8.	Braid the three parts of each rope together, creating a braided rope with a small ball at one end, resembling a dog's head.
9.	Place the braided ropes onto the greased baking sheet and let them rise for another 20-30 minutes.
10.	Brush each braided rope with the beaten egg white.
11.	Bake for 30-40 minutes until the challah becomes golden brown. Let cool before serving.
