3 1/2 C flour
2 1/4 ounce packaeges of yeast

1/2 C veg oil
1 tbs salt
1/2 c sugar
2 C warm water

1) from the 1/2 cup of sugar take 1 tbs of sugar & combine with yeast and warm water for 10 minutes.
2) after the 10 minues add sugar, 3 1/2 cup flour, salt and mix well with bread hook
3) add egg beaten and oil
4) slowly mix rest of 3 1/2 cup of flour
5) turn dough in to floured surface and knead for 10 minutes
6) add enough flour to make dough manageable
7) cover w/ damn towel for 2 hours.

Chulent there is a million recipes for it, so unsure how you want if Sefard, Ashkanoz etc..

Chulent depending on how many this is for about 2 people.
maybe quarter cup barley
half cup assorted beans (love those kidney beans)
3xPotato
Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, some add ketchup, some add honey.
MEAT prefer with bone give some real flavor!!
some add onion.
sefard add a whole egg (i am not for that).
some add tiny pastrami chunk
some add hot dog
as you can see it is a giant mix.

I will try to add kokosh another time, got to go to work but here is quick for potato kougel
5xPotato
1xOnion
1xEgg
(enough for 2-4 people want more just double)
Oh and that should be either hand grated or you can use a blender but do not liquify chunks are good for flavor!
salt, pepper,
here is the secret get the oven to 425, preheat your tin and coat it with oil, when done getting it ready pour the oil in to the mix then pour it back in to the tin.
