Recipe #1: White Yeast Loaf
300gm flour
1 teaspoon yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
200ml water
Kneaded 10 minutes
30 minutes in Fusion, closed
50 minutes tube cracked open
Recipe #2: Bread Rolls
Recipe: 1tsp yeast,
175ml / 3/4 cup warm water
1 tsp sugar (if you like) I usually don’t
3 TBLSP yogurt plain
2 TBLSP olive oil
250g / flour (50% plain/ all-purpose & 50% strong white bread flour)
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp baking powder
1. Activate yeast in warm water (& sugar if using)
2. Add yogurt & oil
3. Sift flours, salt & baking powder and add yeast mix. It makes a wet mix so add more flour if you don’t like sticky fingers!
4. Knead bread for 10 mins
At this point, you can put it to rise or if I don’t need it I put it in the fridge and take out what I need as and when. I have left it up to 2 days in the fridge so far and it does a slow rise. This is for when I’m making naan. For the rolls, I made the mix yesterday and cooked for lunch today. Obviously, for the rolls I let them rise before cooking.
