Roti Naik

I am going nuts over bread. I just can't resist baking bread, whenever I saw someone posting photos of bread! Gosh.... I need to get help now! Hahaha... I am breadaholic! Hahaha.... is there any such word as that! Well, as long as it's not against the law, I think the police won't bother to come and get me!

Anyway, yesterday I had promised to share this newly tested recipe. Made it yesterday for my brother to bring home. Whenever my brother said he's coming, that was like my golden opportunity to try out whatever recipe that I had in mind. My nieces and nephew good eaters, unlike my kids, slightly choosey. But now they are much better compared to before. So yesterday, I was in the kitchen very early. Made for them a chiffon cake, bread and also serimuka. Wanted to bake more, but ran out of time!

Okay, back to the bread story... when I came across Nana's bread photo in her facebook wall, I had asked for the recipe which she had kindly tag me in her notes. And I said to myself, I must give it a try one day and that day was yesterday. Well, my honest review of this bread, it would be the loveliest, if I had omitted the ghee. To me and also to those whom I had given the buns to taste, had the same opinion that the ghee gave a funny taste to it. But the texture is so soft and lovely. InsyaAllah I will try again this recipe without the ghee and see how it goes. My heartiest thanks to Puan Asmahan Hanim and Puan Nana Samat for sharing this recipe with us... Allow me to post it here for many others to try. Whatever I've posted in English was how I had made the bread. The original recipe is the one in Bahasa Malaysia... May Allah bless you both....

Bahan-bahan :

1kg tepung gandum
3 biji telur – diambil kuning sahaja
375g gula halus
5g serbuk ibu roti
225g marjerin
75g minyak sapi
Mentega untuk disapu ke atas roti
2½ cawan air

Cara memasak :

Larutkan serbuk ibu roti dalam air. Kacau dan biarkan sebentar.

Pukul gula halus bersama kuning telur sehingga sebati. Kemudian masukkan marjerin dan minyak sapi sedikit demi sedikit. Pukul sehingga rata. Gaulkan tepung ke dalam aduan dan tambahkan air sedikit demi sedikit. Uli sehingga sebati. Adunan dibahagi tiga. Uli dan lambung setinggi 1/2m adunan tersebut sebanyak 100 kali bagi setiap adunan.

Setelah siap, satukan ketiga-tiga adunan tadi. Perap selama satu jam di tempat yang tidak berangin tetapi panas sehingga adunan naik.

Setelah itu, bulatkan adunan tadi setiap sebesar telur ayam dan aturkan ke dalam loyang. Jangan terlalu rapat kerana adunan tersebut akan naik lagi. Letakkan adunan tadi di tempat yang berangin tetapi panas untuk beberapa jam supaya adunan dapat naik lagi.

Bakar roti pada suhu ketuhar 190c untuk 15-20min. Sapukan sedikit mentega di atas roti sejurus dikeluarkan dari ketuhar.

Have a nice day everyone!
