Herb bread

Ingredients

1 1/4 cup refined flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
7 gms dry yeast
1 tbspn sugar
1 tspn salt
2-3 garlic cloves
2 spring onions (chopped)
2 tbspns coriander leaves, chopped
3-4 pepper corns, crushed
jeera, ajwain
little butter.

Method
Combine the yeast with sugar and 1/4 lukewarm water, stir and set aside for 10-15 mins to froth.

Sift the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and approximately 1/2 cup of water and mix to a rough dough. Transfer the dough to a floured
surface and knead until smooth and elastic. Return to the bowl , cover with a damp cloth and leave for about 2 hrs until double in size.

Knock back the dough and add in herbs and knead well. Divide the dough into two equal portions and roll each portion into a cylinder. Place the dough log in the baking tray and cover with damp cloth and set aside to prove till it doubles the size.

Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius and bake the bread for 20-30 mins or until the top is brown and you hear a nice hollow sound when tapped. Remove from oven and brush with melted butter . Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
