Course Bread
Cuisine Indian

Ingredients

For the dough:

  • 1 Kg of sifted white flour (for the best results use Bread Flour, if you can't find any, regular white flour will do the trick)
  • 30 gr dry yeast
  • 450-600 milliliters of lukewarm water (depending on how moist the flour is)
  • a bundle of fresh Basil chopped
  • 50 gr of sugar
  • 20 gr of salt
  • 100 gr grated Parmesan cheese

For the filling:

  • 3 courgettis, sliced and lightly roasted in the oven
  • 2 red peppers, roasted and pealed
  • 2 small sweet potatoes roasted in the oven
  • (you can also use an eggplant sliced and roasted, or other veggies you like roasted in the oven)

Instructions

Method

  • Roast and prepare the vegetable filling you intend on using in the bread.
  • Place all of the dough's ingredients in a mixer bowl with 450ml of water and start mixing. If dough seems a little dry add a bit more water until it forms into a smooth soft ball (but no more than 600ml), this should take about 10 minutes. you can also do this by hand.
  • Place the dough in a bowl, cover it and let it rise until volume has doubled. This takes about one hour, depending on the weather :)
  • Preheat the oven to 200C.
  • Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces and roll out each one into a rectangle (do not over knead the dough, or it will turn elastic and hard to work with).
  • Place a third of the vegetables on each rectangle leaving the edges empty (see photo).
  • Fold each vegetable topped rectangle into an oval shaped loaf (see photo).
  • Place loaf on baking dish lined with a baking sheet, cover and let rise until the loaf doubles in volume.
  • Dust the tops of the loafs with flour and make small incisions on top with a knife.
  • Bake for 230C for 15 minutes and then reduce to 200C for about 20 minutes.
  • Take a peek in the oven near the end, when the bread is nice and brown (the bottom too) its ready.
  • Let cool before slicing.
