Recipe for Dummies

How to make vegetable bread roll WITHOUT an oven!!

Ingredients

150g flour

1 teaspoon yeast

1 spoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

20g grapesee oil

1 yolk

1 potato

1/4 onion

1/2 green pepper

1/2 carrot

2 spoon canned corn

1 spoon peanut butter

mayonnaise, salt, pepper


How-to
Boil the potato in advance

1. Put the flour, cinnamon powder, salt and sugar into a bowl and mix them well with the yeast
2. Then put the grapeseed oil, yolk and the milk (should be a bit lukewarm) and knead the dough for about 5 minutes
3. When the dough feels smooth, make the dough like a ball and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Make sure you keep the dough in lukewarm water for about 1 hour for fermentation until the dough swells up twice the size

Meanwhile, Chop the carrot, green pepper and onion into small pieces, and then panbroil them. Sprinkle salt and pepper sparingly to season them

Mash the boiled potato and mix it with panbroiled vegetable, canned corn and mayonnaise.


4. Unwrap the dough after the fermentation and let the gas out of the dough by pressing it with your palm. Roll the dough flat with a rolling pin into a large square shape

5. Put the mashed potato with vegetable on the dough and spread it well. Do not put too much mashed potato becuase if you do, the bread will look ugly. Pull the edge of the dough from either the top or the bottom and roll the dough

6. Pinch the edge with the dough and seal it nice and tight

7. Cut the dough into 7 to 8 pieces.

8. Remember! This recipe is to bake bread without an oven. Place a pan over a big pot with water in it so that the bottom of the pan can touch the water. (basically it's a bain-marie) Heat the water until the bottom of the pan feels a bit hot. Try to keep the temperature. (If it's too hot, take the pan out. If it's too cold, heat the water a bit more) This process is to ferment the dough once again and should last about 40~50 minutes. If the dough doesn't swell up much (ideally the size should be double), you can wait a few more minuites.

9. When the dough swells up well, take out the pot and heat the fan directly. Bake the dough over a weak fire for about 13 minutes.

10. After 13 minutes, the dough swells up very well, but since this is baking WITHOUT an oven, you have to turn the dough over.

11. After turning the dough over, place the lid again and bake for 3 to 5 more minutes

When the other side also turns brown, take them out of the pan and cool the bread

12. Now it's well baked. It's munch time
