Happy New Year!!
Presenting first ever post for this year - Bakery style palya bun.
Baking is not that intimidating as it sounds/appears. Right ingredients, right measurements and an oven - you can pretty much get it right. These days I am seeing in cooking shows that a pressure cooker can also be used for baking. Add salt and the plate that comes with the cooker, then take out the gasket and cooker weight from the lid, close, pre heat and bake at high temperature.
Last year, after my friend’s high recommendation, I added bread machine to my kitchen collection. Now I highly recommend it to others. All you need to do is add all the ingredients and turn on the machine. You’ll get a freshly baked loaf in a matter of hours. It tastes same as store bought ones, plus added advantage of no preservatives. Do consider :)
Moving on, for this recipe I made bread dough two ways. First one from scratch - kneading with hands. Second one from bread machine, using dough setting. Today I’ll give the procedure for making from scratch. Do try and enjoy! May your year be filled with good food!
