8Using a rolling pin , roll it into rectangle shape and roll the dough tightly into log shape .

11Place the tin on the bottom rack of the oven and bake for 30 minutes , Now take the tin out , remove the aluminum foil and apply butter /milk /eggwash it . Place it back in the oven ( without the aluminum foil) and bake it for another 5-6 minutes until the top is evenly brown in colour .

Hi Shano,
I baked this bread and it came out really well except that the top layer got stuck to the foil, is there anything that I can do avoid that?. Please advise.
Thank you,

Does this bread tastes like the one we get in India? I’m in USA and most of the white breads we get here are different and tastes also different when it comes to making sandwiches, bread rolls and bread pakoras. I miss that Indian taste🙁

Shano Biju

Kiran ..apply salted butter or eggwash the top..Turn on the top rod or the fan mode..

Shano Biju
May 17, 2017
Brinda ..Thankyou so much for kind words..
Apply salted butter and turn on the top rod for browning..
You can increase the temperature a bit..
Do not stretch the dough too much while shaping and folding..

Hello Maam,
Maam I tried the recipe, but the top crust didn’t come out as brownish colour, it was white. That’s why I baked it for around 10 mins after removing the aluminium foil but the same white crust was there. I can’t figure out where I did the mistake. Please help me out Maam .

Hi Shano mam…I love the way you have put the recipe. It’s so simple to do and I baked my 1st bread today…loved the rise that I got. However the top didn’t brown well. And it kinda cracked too on the top. I followed the recipe to the T. Can you pls help me with what could be the reason. I baked in a microwave convection.

Reduce the temperature a bit next time..
Over kneading can also make the bread dense..
Tanuka
April 9, 2017
Thanks a lot for your recipe. What would be the flour measurement in gms ? Also if I want to substitute instant yeast by active dry yeast , should I use the same quantity ?
Monalisa

Hi, i tried the sandwich bread, it turned out good, was soft but a bit dense.. What could have been the reason ???
Shano Biju

Shubh..the dough should double in volume for the first rise..for the second rise..the dough should reach 1″ below the rim of the
loaf tin..
shubh
March 23, 2017
Thanks for the recipe. How long do we have to keep the dough for each rise?
Shano Biju
March 6, 2017
Nusrat ..few points to be noted..
Over kneading will make the bread dense.
Right temperature while baking..I bake at 180 degree C
Cover the baking tin with aluminium foil while baking.
Eggwash / apply salted butter for evenly brown crust.Bake it in fan mode..

I have tried a number of bread recipes but I could never get the soft, fluffy crust (you know the one that kind of peels off) that is there on the breads that come from the market. What is the secret of that kind of crust? I use a professional stone base oven.

No dear..the bread will be dense if you substitute Apf with wheat flour..
For eggless wheat bread..follow the wheat bread recipe which I’ve posted..instead of egg , add 3-4 tbsp of extra milk..

Hi Shanobiju,
Just wanted to confirm whether I can add 2 cups maida and 1/2 cup wheat flour. ( I have only 2 cups maida with me right now;)) Will I have to make any changes in yeast measurements? Thanks in advance. Btw, I made your eggless pav buns yesterday and it came quite well. Though there is scope for further
improvement. Thanks a lot.
