Making Turkish bread for some is a challenge for me it was. I know how to knead the dough for Indian rotis but making Turkish bread is something different.
I tried to make it from searching in and around on google but every time I fail and get a burned or not cooked bread because I was still learning and always practice makes man perfect here women perfect.
So I started to start searching around cafes where I could learn making bread but I worked there not as a chef but a kitchen hand though at that time I could see how the chef is working and capture those moments in mind and then I try them at my home.
Finally, the day came where my perfect fluffy bread came out which I always dreamt off.
I mostly knead with the hand not with any machine because I believe with hands food becomes tastier rather than a machine.
So follows the recipe which I am sharing with you.
Makes two loaves of bread
4cups(500g) whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cup (375 g) lukewarm water
2 tbsp yeast
1 tbsp oil
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp salt
1/2 cup lukewarm milk
2 egg white if using small eggs / 1 egg white if using the large egg
2 egg yolk if using small eggs/ 1 egg yolk if using a large egg
2 tbsp milk
black and white sesame seeds
Preheat the oven for 180 degrees before.
1) Take a big bowl to add 1 cup lukewarm water with 1/2 cup lukewarm milk, 1 tbsp sugar, 2 tbsp yeast leave it for 5 - 10 min for the yeast to get active.
2) after 10 min add 1 tbsp oil, 1 tbsp sugar, eggs whites, 4 cups flour mix it well with hands.
3) knead the dough nicely for about 10 min. I use kitchen benchtop for kneading, putting four on the benchtop and then knead the dough over it. The dough would be bit sticky.
4) Cover the dough and leave it for 1 hour or if you can 4-5 hours to rise nicely. Like the picture below.
5) take the dough out on a benchtop and knead it again to make a ball shape and cut it into two half pieces. you will get two balls of bread to make.
6) take a baking pan with a baking sheet over it. Take one dough and flatten it with hands. cover it with the tea towel and let it prone for another 1 hour.
7) Prepare the glaze with egg yolk, milk that we will apply on bread after 1 hour.
8) After 1 hour applies glaze and makes some shapes with hands. Also, sprinkle some sesame seeds on top.
9) Place the baking pan in the oven for 180 degrees for 20 min until golden.
Better to serve warm.
