Our own bread

Hajar and I got to making bread.  I love bread. Bread is life. Bread is universal. Bread is among the blue skies and everything nice.

Our bread is made out of the usual stuff, no new stuff like improvers or softeners. Just don't be cheap with the butter to make it soft and fluffy.  You can put fillings if you want or fruits.

Look, look......  :)  

The recipe:

3/4 cup of warm water

2 level tablespoon of instant yeast

1 tsp salt

1 1/2 tbsp sugar

1 egg

50g butter

1/2 cup milk

3 cups all purpose flour

Sieve flour in bowl.  Add yeast, salt and sugar to flour. Mix well.

Make a well and add beaten egg, milk, warm water and softened butter and kneed into a soft dough.

Leave to rise.

When risen, cut into equal shapes and roll into balls. Or any shape you like.  Leave to rise again.  Brush with mixture of egg and milk.

Put into 200 C oven and bake for 25-35 mins.  Brush again before fully cooked to give it a gloss.
