This Is What I Cooked Today, Enjoy the view Options

[jaminaveed]

Its been a long time since I made bread. A freshly made bread has such a good smell, reminds me of old days when the world was a little younger.



Here is my recipe for bread.

6 Tablespoon flour (maida)
1/4 teaspoon dry yeast
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tabelspoon cooking oil
1 teaspoon sugar
3 tablespoon milk
cheddar cheese
sesame seeds

Add sugar into milk and boil to simmer. Take teh milk off the stove and immedately add the yeast.

Yeast is like a living organism so make sure the milk is not very hot otherwise the yeast will not raise and die. Suagr is added to feed the yeast.

Leave the mixture in a warm place for 15 minutes.

In a pan add flour, oil, and salt. Sift it with a spatula or knead withyour nuckles.

Add the yeast that we set aside. It must have raised properly if it got doubled insize.

1st kneading
Knead the mixture well. Cover with moist cloth and set aside for 3 hours. The bread mixture should increase by 30% in size.

2nd Kneading

Knead the dough again and give it the shape you want your bread to be. I added small peaces of chedder cheese inside the dough, you can add qeema (mince meat) or garlic.

Apply egg on the formed dough and sprinkle tills.



Heat the oven at full for 3 minutes and reduce heat to 200 degrees or 2.0 gas mark. Put the dough in oven and bake for 20 minutes. You can smell the bread when its done.




I expect everyone to post a picture of the food that you cook, I missed out taking the picture while preparing the dough. Contributions with visual attributes are required, although it sounds snobbish but this thread is intended to have the photo of the food you cooked as well, so if you dont have a digital camera get one.

Check out for more recipe's later on.

Have a good time.

The breads become more tempting when you are on a diet. I know I felt so desperate for bread when I was on atkins last year. No wonder it is the best food in all ways, be it tandoori naan, roti, paratha, bun, crouissant or any other food loaded with heavy taste and carbs.

aw that's sweet with your son contributing.. If i get my nieces to help, it's a guarantee that along the way I'd have to make a shape of either names or initials ..which is really difficult considering their names.

I love making italian breads...and ciabatta with ajwaein lol is sublime..makes for great sandwiches.

[jaminaveed]

Absolutely right dOm, we sort of learned it together, me and my mom. I remember in my college days, I was giving tutions to junior kids in the neighbourhood I bought this HAMLYN's book of Bread making for her from my salary, we used to read it and experiment the breads.

I promise to cook for you whenever we get a chance to meet, maybe if you ever come to dubai, or we meet in karachi. What does a cook want in return of his efforts - - Appreication.

Is there any way this cake can be shipped to me..:unsure

[jaminaveed]

The bread was yummy, Iliked it very much as Ihad folded chese inside.
I would love to try the bhindies you cooked, I will try making a sandwich.
Take 2 slices of bread lay down a layer of mouthwatering bhindies prepared by ROMI and close the sandwich. enjoy with a blue tea.

Hmmm Will be waitin' for your Pic and if possible recipe too . I am amazed at your quick observation 5,000,000. I myslef did nto notice, I do not recall how I had these two set of glasses. You are precisely right. This is absurd, almost magical. Allah ki Kasam it is a mystery. how and when did Ichange glasses coz
the pics were taken onthe same day.

I will see my other pics and will find out, or check with my friend for whom I cooked.

Thank you Girl (lemme check are you a gal? Oh yes you are)
