I had bookmarked this recipe sometime back from Divyas Easycooking blog.But since I hadn't found good yeast,it held me from baking.When I had baked Masala bun last time my Papa had enjoyed it heartily,and I had told him about my hunt on good yeast.So my dear Papa specially went to a local bakery and got me Prestige brand yeast,an imported brand and guess what? I can open my own bakery,lol,he has brought 500 g pack.I still don't know what I ll do with so much of yeast,as of now I have stored it in a refrigerator. When it comes to baking I follow Divya's footsteps.Thanks a lot Divya for your mind blowing recipe. There's many more in the list...The dough had raised just the way it had to.So applauds to me for not not giving up.I experimented the yeast proofing with 3 glasses of water with different temperatures,warm,boiled and cooled,and lukewarm, which all proofed(Prestige brand) and one more with the different brand which didn't proof.
Ingredients:
Whole wheat
flour-1 cup
Maida-1 cup
Lukewarm water-1
cup
Active dry yeast-1 tsp
Sugar-2 tsp

tsp

Garlic cloves-4-5,finely
chopped

chopped
Fresh coriander
leaves-1 tbsp,finely chopped
Method:
- Mix together
water,sugar,salt and yeast,keep aside to bloom for 10 -15 minutes.
- If the yeast
is fresh,it will start bubbling within minutes,if it does not bloom,start
afresh.
- In a big
mixing bowl,add whole wheat flour maida,pour in the yeast mixture along with
olive oil,little at a time and start kneading the dough.
- You might
/might not require the entire quantity or add as required to form a smooth
dough.
- Knead the
dough for 5-7 minutes till smooth and elastic,add flour a tsp or two if you
feel the dough is too sticky,but refrain from adding more.
- Coat the
mixing bowl with some olive oil and place the dough in it and smear oil around
the dough,cover the bowl with a damp towel and let the dough rise to double its
size in a warm place for 45 minutes to an hour.
- Meanwhile,make
the the garlic filling,mix all the ingredients of the filling to a spreading
consistency and keep it aside.
- Grease a loaf
pan with some olive oil and keep aside.
- Punch down
the dough and knead for 2- 3 minutes,divide the dough into 2 portions.
- Smear your
workplace with some flour and roll the dough into a rectangle,about half an
inch thick.
- Smear half of
the garlic spread,roll the rectangle and cut it into two and further into two
more ,so that you end up with four spirals,place the rolls carefully into the
greased pan.
- Repeat with
the other half of the dough,apply any remaining garlic spread on top of the dough
and brush with some milk.
- Allow the
rolls to proof for 30 45 minutes,preheat the oven to 180 deg C.
- Bake the
rolls for 20 to 25 minutes or till the top portion of the dough becomes golden
and the bread sounds hollow when tapped,if not bake for a further 10 minutes.
- Brush the top
of the rolls with softened butter immediately after you remove from the oven.
- Run a knife
around the edges and immediately remove the rolls from the pan and cool on a
wire rack.
- Serve the
rolls warm with a hot cup of tea or coffee.
