Now I feel very bad for it…. But m sure most of them r very lazy b4 their marriage bcoz they Neva have ne responsibilities or something like tht???? Isn’t it??? Anyways I’ll keep pulling on my story later…. So how about the bread talks now????

Every time we visited a supermarket (In SA), my hub used to luk at the pack of onion flake as if he is gona grab them from there…..But then it was “donno how it wud taste next time” …but then came a auspicious day :D to buy those flakes….. I must say they ver really tasty (it was just like fried onions)…. I used them in soups..Gravys….etc… etc Then I decided to add them in breads how about A Onion bread (we love onions…. A onion story some other time :D). I tried it my own way…. I must say it ot only was fluffly it was Yummy too…

I wud like to share the recipe with u guys so that u guys can try it out and tell me how it came out….. J

We need:

Wheat flour(Atta) - 2 cups ,Luke warm water - 1 cup ,Salt - 1 tsp ,Olive oil - 2 tbsp,1 tbsp active Yeast, Onion flakes - 7-8 tbsp, Sugar - 1 tsp.

Method:

Place yeast, sugar and milk in a bowl and mix to combine. set aside in a warm place for 5 minutes or until bubbles begin to form on surface.

Mis together the flour, salt, oil and yeast mixture,onion flakes in a bowl and mix until a smooth dough forms. knead on a lightly floured surface for 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic, adding a little extra flour to the dough if it becomes too sticky.

Roll it into a round shape and allow to rest for n hour or more.

Now knead the dough again nd mix well nd rest it for another hour. ( roll the dough into the shape u want to bake rectangular or round)

Preheat oven at 350F

So if u see onion flakes ne where do not stare Just buy them :D.

Don worry if u don’t get onion flakes then u can fry then until golden brown and ad them up too

Ah! We never ate lozza bread during our childhood. It was always tht we ate bread only when we were not keeping well :P…but as we grew we started getting bread at home…Eggless- Harish Bakery bread (this one as it was one of the Amchi’s bakery nd one of our known ppl). As time pasd we started lovin the City Bakery Bread it was so soft nd moist….

Amma started making sandwiches (2-3 varities )…Anu doesn’t eat though(bcoz he never ate onions nor garlic). I loved the fried onion sandwich vch amma made….I remember the day we bought tht sandwich toaster….:P

We had been to Market in blore(10 yrs bac) tht….my aunt was just married nd new to tht place…she just took one jamun(jambul in konkani …the purple colour berry vch we get during april may) from the batti for taste so tht she cud buy the Bai (lady) there started shouting… Enamma hange tinnodu 50 ps kodi…. (how can u eat like tht now gimme 50 ps for one jamun) we were shocked actually as at tht time 50 ps for one jamun was so costly….:P…..guys u myt be wondering na from bread I went to market, jamun all those things….I m just like tht….:P I started the matter bcoz we bought tht toaster the same day….:P

( I think m dragging this post too sick :P )…I donno each persons custom myt differ…..:P

Then on amma started making fried onion sandwiches which we just loved…it was so yum… I used to sit on my kitchen slab and relish them hot hot as she prepares.

Now to the bread story…….i ate bakery bread everytime….never tried home made bread but wanted to try it once….. when I started getting my hands on baking i decided of baking bread…. Nd tried my hand on wheat bread. It was in my drafts from more than 4 months :P

It got baked nd I nevr had a piece of it also bcoz I wanted my hubby to taste it first (as he is the guinea pig :P)

He ate the piece nd told Aps do u know ht u have baked???? I was worried then comes a answer its focaccia..Italian bread…..its so tasty….:P… …when I checked the pecipe it was similar…but they added cheese Parmesan nd mozzarella…vch I did not.
