Boiled Dough Bread

      
On my quest to learn bread making I came across several videos on YouTube and FB on making different types of bread. This boiled bread recipe started on a Turkish site and when you keep clicking and going down the rabbit hole that is social media, you will eventually find something you can adapt and this is it for me. I LOVE this bread so much, so does the family so winners all around.

Ingredients 

400ml lukewarm milk
10g dry yeast
20g sugar
10g salt
30ml vegetable oil
600g bread flour 

1. Mix milk, yeast, sugar and salt.

2. Then add flour. Stir until it gets tough then use hands and mix. 

3. Add oil and mix and knead until incorporated through. Knead for a few minutes, then rest for an hour until dough is double in size.

4. Knock the air out and roll into a log.

5. Cut log in half. Then cut each half into 3rds.

6. With a rolling pin roll the dough into a rectangle of sorts, approx 5 and 6  inches a side (ish) ... or whatever size you want really, I was going for subs.

Square or rectangle is up to you

7. Then roll the dough into a log. Pinch and seal the seams and the side so that it the dough doesn't unravel.


8. In a pan with boiling water, put the dough in for 2 minutes. 

Boil for 2 minutes

9. Score the top of the boiled dough with slits for growth. In a 200 degree preheated oven bake for 25 minutes or so until it's brown and fat and fluffy.

10. Shove in face :)

Perfectly toasty
