Each country has its own bread recipe that has its roots back to its oldest ancestors in the kitchen.
As most of you already knew, bread is a simple staple food that’s usually made by baking dough – a mixture of flour and water. Bread is also one of the oldest prepared foods in history and it’s been an important part not just of our diet but also our culture.
But now that the “digital world” has taken over, you’d rarely see someone using an actual cookbook since you could easily find recipes on the internet.
This recipe that’s claimed to be “forgotten” has resurfaced once again to remind us how easy it is to bake bread.
You don’t need to be ready because this is so easy.
First, gather all the ingredients listed below.
- 3/4 cup of rice
- 3 cups of water
- 1/3 cup of milk
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of yeast
- 3 cups of flour
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
Make sure your ingredients are all fresh and safe to consume, if applicable, look for the expiration dates.
Let’s get this started!
Step 1: Put 3/4 cup of washed rice in a cooking pot and add 3 cups of water. Put to a boil to cook but make sure that the inside part is a little moist. Once cooked, transfer the rice into a large mixing bowl and leave it for 15 minutes.
Step 2: Grab your 1/3 cup of milk and add 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of yeast. Mix well, then pour it on the rice and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and mix again.
Step 3: Using a strainer, add 3 cups of flour (preferably 1 cup at a time) to your mixture. Massage your dough mixture well by adding 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. The dough mixture must be thick but fluffy. Once done, cover it with cling wrap and leave it for an hour.
Step 4: After an hour, add a little amount of oil and massage the dough mixture again. Put parchment paper in a baking pan, toss your dough in, cover it with a clean piece of towel, and leave it for 15 minutes.
Step 5: Bake it in the oven under 356° Fahrenheit for 50 to 60 minutes. When the time is up, take it out and let it cool down completely.
Step 6: Slice your bread your way and make sure to share not just the bread but also this recipe with your family and friends.
