Instructions
- Take a large mixing bowl and add the finger millet flour, semolina and whole wheat flour.
- Add salt on one side and instant yeast on the other side.
- Add milk powder, sugar and mix the dry ingredients well.
- Add warm water and mix roughly using a ladle.
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and mix.
- At this stage do not start kneading, set it aside for 10 ââ¬â 15 minutes.
- Dust a clean kitchen counter and place the dough on it.
- Add another 2 tablespoons of oil and start kneading the dough by stretching and pressing using your palm.
- Knead the dough for 10 minutes and grease your hands with the remaining oil whenever the dough is sticky.
- After 10 minutes, press the dough with your finger. If the dough bounces back, then it is ready otherwise knead for 2 or 3 minutes more.
- Place this kneaded dough in an oiled bowl and allow it to double in a warm place. This depends upon the climate. Generally it takes 1 ½ hour to 2 hours. [It took 2 hours for the dough to double]
- Grease a loaf pan with oil on all the sides.
- Take the proofed dough, slightly punch and knead well for another 3 ââ¬â 4 minutes.
- Flatten the bread dough, fold both the ends slightly into the center, seal well.
- Then roll the dough from one end and seal the ends so that it looks like a log.
- Place the log of dough into the greased loaf tin, with the sealed down downwards.
- Allow the dough to rise again for about 45 to 60 minutes.
- Preheat oven at 160c, 5 minutes before the second raise of the dough.
- Apply a milk wash on the dough and sprinkle oats.
- Place the loaf tin with the dough in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes at 160c.
- When you have 5 minutes left before baking, take the loaf outside. Brush the loaf using butter liberally and bake again for the remaining time.
- Remove the loaf tin from oven; tap the baked bread to observe a hollow sound which indicates the doneness of bread.
- Allow the bread to cool for 5-10 minutes in the tin and gently loosen the sides. Remove the bread from the tin and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
- Use a serrated knife to slice and serve fresh bread or store in refrigerator for longer shelf life.
Recipe Notes
- Always allow the bread to cool completely before slicing. (atleast 4 – 5 hours for neat slices).
- The time required for proofing of the bread depends upon the climate. During summer the dough doubles up fast and during winter it may take relatively longer time.
- Check the shelf life of the yeast before baking.
- The water should not be hot as it may kill the yeast which will impact the proofing of the dough.
- Use chiroti rava for best binding and crust. Otherwise just powder the big sized semolina like chiroti rava.
- The oven temperature and baking timing varies from from oven to another, please adjsut according to your oven.
