I made a herb bread, the herb in this bread being cilantro/coriander. They were just not impressive to look at it but create a lating impressiong owing to its different from the usual taste. I was immensely pleased with the results
AP Flour-2 1/2 cups
Whole Wheat Flour-1 1/2 cups
Yeast-15g
Lukewarm Water-1/4 cup
Sugar-2tbsp
Salt-1tsp
Chopped Cilantro-1/2 cup
Chopped Spring onion with greens-2 stalks
Garlic-3 cloves chopped
Pepper-as per taste
Dissolve the yeast and sugar in 1/4 cup pf water and allow it to froth for about 10-15 mins. Meanwhile, sift the flours with salt. Make a well in the centre of the sifted flours and add the yeast mixture and make a rough dough. Now oil you kneading slab and flour it. Then with the required amount of water knead the dough to a soft consistency. Set this ina well oiled bowl and let it rise to double its volume.
Punch the risen dough down and add in chopped cilantro, scallions and garlic. Add freshly crushed pepper and knead them in well.. I wanted to make an S-shaped braid. I divided the dough into two portions and intertwined them and shped them into an S. et this aside covered for its second rise. Preheat your oven to 400F. Bake the bread until it is done and remove and brush with a generous amount of butter and if desired some chilli flakes for an extra zing.
