This bread is very soft and light . Lemon zest and thyme gives a beautiful flavor.
Garlic and red chilli flakes add some spice to this golden bread..

  • Prep: 1 hr
  • Cook: 40 mins

Ingredients

2 cup All purpose flour

3/4 cup Milk

2 tsp Instant dry yeast

1 tbsp Sugar

1 tsp Salt

1 1/2 tbsp Milk powder

5 tsp Fresh cream

1 tbsp Olive oil

Ingredients for the flavouring

1 tsp Lemon zest

1 tsp Chilli flakes

1/2 tsp Thyme

1 tbsp Garlic

3 tbsp Oil

1 tsp Salt

Directions

Method for the flavoured oil

1In a sauce pan , heat oil . Lower the flame and add garlic , lemon zest ,thyme and salt .Turn off the heat and add chilli flakes . Let it cool .

2In a bowl mix flour ,yeast ,sugar, salt ,cream, milk and milk powder well .

3Knead it well for 8-9 minutes .

4Add olive oil and knead for further 2-3 minutes .

5Shape it into a ball and apply oil on the dough and place it in a well oiled bowl . Keep it in a warm place and let it rise .

6Let the dough double in size.

7Once it is double , gently punch the dough .

8Using a rolling pin , roll it into rectangle shape .

9Apply the flavourings using a brush. Do not use the entire flavoured oil . Use only 2 tbsp of oil .

10Roll the dough tightly .

11Dust some flour.

12Slice the dough into two equal parts.

13Then further slice it into equal size pieces .

14Line the bread tin with parchment sheet and arrange the dough leaving gap on the side . I used 9" x 4 "x 4" sized loaf tin .

15Do not arrange them tightly . Wait for the second rise .

16Meanwhile pre heat the oven at 200 degree C for 10 minutes . Cover the loaf tin with an aluminum foil and place it in the oven . Place it on the lower rack . Bake for 25 minutes . Take the tin out and remove the aluminum foil . Brush it with remaining flavoured oil and bake it for 10 minutes ( without the aluminum foil ) .

17Transfer it into a wire rack and brush it with butter . Allow it to cool well .

Hi Shano.. thank you so much for a lovely recipe.Just one doubt.. can I double the recipe and freeze extra dough for next day? If so then should it be frozen or just refrigerated?

Increase the quantity of liquid if you are using wheat flour.

Shivani ..Cream makes the bread very light ..You can replace it with melted butter..

Tanvi ..Yeast plays a very important role in terms of texture.. You need to use good quality instant dry yeast ..
