Ingredients
6 items
- 2 cups Water (or milk)
- 1/4 cup Oil (or butter)
- 1/4 cup Honey (or date syrup or jaggery)
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 6 cups Flour
- 2 teaspoons Yeast
Instructions
7 steps
- Combine all the ingredients and mix the dough, using a food processor or kneading by hand.
- Sprinkle flour on the dough and shape it into a smooth, neat ball.
- Cover and let it rise for about 1 hour, until doubled in size.
- Punch the dough down, divide it into portions, and shape into loaves or buns.
- Let the shaped dough rise again for 40 minutes.
- Bake loaves at 160°C for 25 minutes, or buns at 150°C for 18 minutes. An air fryer oven works too.
- Brush the top with butter to soften the crust, then cover with a kitchen napkin for 5 minutes to trap the heat.
