This post was in my draft list from a long time..Every time iam lazy to complete the notes and to post..So,finally today iam completing and sharing with you all...Almost every day our breakfast goes like Bread with butter or honey...So,I decided to try a bread loaf in my kitchen..This is the first time i tried it out..And luckily it given a good result...Hmmmmm..Iam not very bad in trying out new recipes..hehehehe..

O.K...K...now jump into the recipe......I just forgotted to brush the bread loaf on top while baking..Other wise the bread was so soft and tasted good...

Ingredients

Wheat flour-2 1/2cups

salt-to taste

yeast-1tsp

honey/sugar-1tsp

warm water-250ml or as needed to make dough

sesame seeds-2tsps

olive oil-2-3tsps

Preparation

In 1cup of warm water add in yeast and wait for 5 minutes to raise the yeast......

To the flour add salt and sugar and mix well.....

Now add in raised yeast water along with remaining water...add water slowly.otherwise it will form like lump.....

Combine these all using a wooden or plastic spoon.right now this will be sticky....

Add in some oil and make into a smooth dough......take this into a well greased bowl and cover with damp cloth for at least 1-2hrs......

Start kneading again by using extra flour and smooth it well.......now tip this into the oven proof safe glass and let it sit for 1 more hour.....

by this you can see it doubled in size...brush it on top with 1tsp of oil and sprinkle some sesame.

Enter this in preheated(180 c) oven and bake it for 1hour....(mine took almost 1hour...)

after completely baking tip this on a wire rack to cool down.....

Slice it and apply some butter or peanut butter.....serve as you like........

i like with peanut butter..yummy....

NOTES

I used oven proof safe glass bowl..you can use any bread tin...

Use good quality yeast...

Don`t add in hot water.yeast will die..

keep the dough bowl in warm place to raise well....You can do like this(preheat oven for 10minutes..off flame and keep the bowl..it works)i tried this way......

oven timings may different.so,keep an eye..

You can use oats on top and 2tsps of sesame in the dough too.....

Simple easy cinnamon honey white bread toast with egg/Honey bread toasted bread slices with coffee flavor for break fast times/Quick and easy snacks

It was so sad to tell that brazil loss foot ball match in semi finals..This time I watched all matches when brazil played..Because of absence of neymar and captain of group,team loosen confidence and there was not even a single experienced member in group..lack of co ordination between members also one of the reason to lose the match..It was shocking when brazil played with germany..Within 13 minutes they gave 3 goals and people of this team quit confidence..After watching the complete match I was so sad and dull. Finally argentina and germany are going to play the finals. DH wants to win germany and I prefers argentina. let`s see what`s going to happen!!!

Bread plays a key role in break fast menu..Usually DH break fast is honey applied bread slices..I feel honey is too sweet so,like to have plain bread..Also , i loves sandwiches and toasted bread slices..Even though i have a sandwich maker in home,not using often`ly because of my DH..Ya..He don`t likes sandwich.So,there was no interest to make for my self...Few days I was hungry in after noon time and there was no rice at home.while searching in fridge got a bread packet.Immediately took out few more my favorite ingredients and prepared this yummy toast..It is folded with egg and coffee flavor..It perfectly goes well in break fast times which may took 10 minutes of time..It is the best toast for busy mornings,lazy wake ups and for kids it`s a perfect snack to give after coming back from school.I truly loved and hope you also like this simple,sweet toast..Enjoy...

I  love this..what about You..:)
