---


Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients in PART A in a mixing bowl until all are well combined. You may find your mix to be a little wet, which is normal. 
  • Another option is you can active your yeast first but mixing the yeast in lukewarm water 30 minutes before you mix in all the other PART A ingredients. 
  • After your mix is well combined, place a cling film over your mixing bowl.


1st Proof = 20 minutes

  • After 20 minutes, put a little olive oil on your hand. 
  • By using your oiled hand, separate and stretch your dough from outward in for all directions. 
  • Repeat this motion for 1-2 minutes. 
  • When it is completed, place a cling film over your mixing bowl. 


2nd Proof = 30 minutes

  • After 30 minutes, put a little olive oil on your hand. 
  • Repeat the same process as before by separating and stretch your dough from outside in for all directions. 
  • When it is completed, place a cling film over your mixing bowl.


3rd Proof = 30 minutes

  • After 30 minutes, put a little olive oil in your hand and repeat the same process as before. 
  • When it is completed, place a cling film over your mixing bowl. 


4th Proof = 30 minutes  

  • Oil your baking pan surface. 
  • Remove your dough from your mixing bowl into the oiled baking pan. 
  • Shape and flatten your dough to mold into the baking pan. 
  • When it is done, place a cling film over your mixing bowl. 


5th & Last Proof = 30 minutes

  • Oil your hands and gentle poke holes into the surface of your dough to remove any air bubbles that may have formed during the proofing process. 
  • Place sliced garlic onto the surface of the dough. 
  • After that, pour in a small amount of olive oil on to prevent the garlic from burning during the baking process. 
  • Then sprinkle rosemary or herbs leaves on the surface of the dough. 
  • Top the dough with sprinkles of Himalayan course salt. 



Baking Process

Preheat your oven for 10-15 minutes before baking your dough at 230C for 10-15 minutes. 



Baking Outcomes

Truth be told, my kitchen started to smell like some Italian kitchens. The smell of rosemary wafted throughout my small house. Smelled so delicious. 

Thankfully, it was a success! My husband and parents in law love them. I hope to explore more flavors as time goes.

Home Baking Project by Gabrielle

This year, our country Malaysia is facing yet another COVID-19 crisis. Last year when everything started, our country acted fast and their speedy decision aided us in managing and controlling the numbers. However, we had a change in government and no matter how hard they tried, things just didn't improve. And here we are, MCO 3.0. Although my state Sarawak is under CMCO as opposed to total MCO in other states, we are trying hard to find things to make our daily lives at home as interesting as possible so we don't get tempted to go out.  Alright. That's enough of my ranting about how my country's government had lost sight of things. Time to share my Home Baking Project or so I called HBP.  I've never thought of baking. Before, I tried making pies but those experiences made me fearful instead of confident. I failed many times and there didn't seem to any remedial in sight. So, I stopped. I also realized the reason of my failures were because I lacked equipment, mo...

HBP #4: Earl Grey Bread with Brown Sugar Filling

-

As Sarawakians, we would have the annual harvest festival that is celebrated nationwide. So, I attempted to make flavored bread with brown sugar filling. Here's how... Liquid Infusion Process For the infused liquid, I used earl grey tea bags from Ahmad Tea. The process of infusion takes overnight so before you bake, you need to prepare this the night before. All you need is cold milk or cold water.  I used 200ml of cold full cream milk and put a bag of earl grey in it. Cover the top of the container with cling film and leave them overnight in the fridge. You may use it the next morning or next baking day.  If you are baking with water, then replace milk with cold water. It is simple. No sweat! Ingredients --- Part A: Dough Infused milk           180ml Yeast           6gm Salt           6gm Sugar           20gm Olive Oil          15gm ...
