Lockdown with Milk Bread

It's lockdown situation and I need to go office for essential services. So most of the time worried about health of my 2-years old and everyone's mental peace.

So cooking and feeding my folks with something tasty and something they are missing eating.

Today it was a simple one. Milk bun

Ingredients:

Flour or Maida 1.5 cup
Milk 1/2 cup
Salt 1 tsp
Oil/Soft butter 2 tbsp
Powdered or Castor Sugar 2tbsp


Instant yeast 1 tbsp
Warm milk 1cup
Powdered or Castor Sugar 1tsp

Procedure:

Soak yeast and sugar in milk for 5 min.

Sieve flour, salt and sugar. This will make the flour airy and will help in rising the dough.

Add milk, yeast mixture to flour. And knead into a soft dough.

Add oil or softened butter. Knead again.

In a deep bowl add oil and keep your flour dough. Cover your bowl with a tissue paper and keep it air tight. Keep in a warm place for 1-2 hour.  Let it rise and become double in size.

After that, knead again, you can use a little flour. Repeat the procedure of keeping in a covered bowl in a warm place. Let it become double in size again.

After 1 more hour, knead the dough again and you can make a few small balls from the dough. Roll each ball and give it a shape of a small ball again. If you want to make bread, no need to make small balls. You can knead and keep in the baking bowl.

Keep your baking tray ready, spread oil. Now keep the flour balls in the plate, keeping a gap of 1 inch. Cover it again and keep in warm place for 1 hour and let these balls rise again.

Preheat the oven. Bake at 180 degree for 20 mins. Depending on your plate and oven, you may need to adjust time a little. So try with 15mins. Then test once. If required, bake for another 5mins.

See it's so easy. Have your home-baked hot bun. See its so soft. Enjoy the lockdown with this hot bun and tea. You can spread butter or cheese, to increase the taste.

Stay at home. Stay safe. Keep visiting my blog and my Facebook page for lockdown recipes.

P. S. You can make  pizza from this same bread dough.
