IAM STELLA FROM SRILANKA

Description

This recipe is fun to make. Store-bought noodles are fine, for the most part, but homemade pasta noodles offer a completely different texture and taste experience.

Ingredients

 250 gramsWhole wheat Flour, 

1 Tablespoon Corn Flour

½ teaspoons Salt

2 whole eggs 

Preparation

Sift the flour. Pour flour in a bowl. Now make a well in the center of the flour and add corn flour, salt and Mix well, about one minute.

Next combine water.   Pour it into the flour mixture. Use your hands and knead the dough about 15 minutes, adding a little flour if necessary. Dough must be smooth and pliable.

Now cover the dough with a tea towel and allow to relax about 30 minutes.

Take the dough out of the bowl and roll it into a large rectangle 12×12 inch and 1/8 inch thick in size, using a rolling pin. Use more flour for dusting.

Using a very sharp knife, cut dough into 1/8 inch wide strips. Take the strips one by one and pull them out to stretch them – use your fingers. The strips become longer than they were before.

To cook noodles, take a large pot. Pour 500 ml water and add 2 teaspoons salt. When the water is boiling, add noodles. They cook in about 10 minutes. Remove cooked noodles using tongs and put them in a colander. Drain well. Do not rinse.

You can made it pasta machine. It is very eassy. 

Enjoy.

Delicious apple jam bread recipe – and so easy to make.

Ingredients

250 grams Plain Flour

5 grams Yeast

25 grams Sugar

7.4 milliliters Salt

110 milliliters Warm water

Two tables spoon ghee

Preparation

In a mixing bowl combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix for 1 minute. Next add water and half of the beaten egg. Mix. Add butter and mix until combined. Knead by hand until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes. After that, punch the dough down and make a large round ball and allow it to rise for 10 minutes longer.

Now take out the dough ball and roll it out with a rolling pin until you have roughly a 12 x10 inch rectangle . Next  ghee spread it across the surface of the dough but leave about a 1 inch border around the entire rectangle. Roll the dough up into a log. Cut the log into 8 equal slices using a sharp knife.

Place the dough slices in a greased baking pan. I staggered them, placing the cut sides beside each other and shaped the dough into a wheat stalk shape. I’ve done this in the photo above.

Allow to rise for 10 minutes. Next brush the remaining beaten egg over the top of the bread.

Bake at 200 C for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve and enjoy.

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE DOUGH

300 Grams Plain Flour

12 Grams Butter

6 Grams Salt

6 Grams Yeats

175 Ml Water

12 Grams Sugar

1 large eggs

FOR THE EGG WASH

1 large egg

2 tsp. water

DIRECTIONS

In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine lukewarm water, yeast, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes. 

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, add flour, remaining ⅓ cup sugar, and salt and whisk to combine. Add yeast mixture, oil, and eggs and mix on medium speed until a smooth dough is formed and pulls away from the side of the bowl, about 10 to 15 minutes. Dough will still be slightly sticky. 

Place dough  into a greased bowl and let rise, covered, until doubled, 1 ½ to 2 hours. 

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, remove dough and and divide into 3 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 20” long rope, about 1” wide. Place ropes onto prepared baking sheet and pinch tops together and tuck under. Wet your hands lightly to help pinch together, if necessary. 

Braid dough into one long rope. Pinch bottom ends together and tuck under braid. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise until an indention remains after poking the dough and almost doubled, about 1 hour. 

Preheat oven to 350°. Beat egg, water, and sugar together and brush over risen dough. 

Bake until bread is golden, 30 minutes. Let cool.

Enjoy.
