Eggless Ladi Pav in Pressure Cooker - Feather Soft Bread Buns Recipe - Eggless Baking Without Oven

Making Bread

Making your own bread needs a little hard work but it's great fun and the delicious smell and taste of freshly baked bread makes it all worth while.
You can make a white or wholemeal loaf from this recipe depending on which flour you use.
What You Need:
Tools:

Ingredients:

• 225g (1 ½ Cups) Strong plain white flour or plain wholemeal flour
• 1 level teaspoon salt
• 1 level teaspoon sugar
• 15g (1 level tbspoon) soft tub margarine
• 1 sachet (6g) easy blend dried yeast or fast action easy blend dried yeast
• 150 ml (2/3 cup) warm water - NOT HOT!

What To Do:

1. Get an ADULT to help!
2. Wash your hands thoroughly in soap and water.
3. Collect all the tools and ingredients together.
4. Put the flour in the mixing bowl and add the sugar and the salt.
5. Add the margarine and rub into the flour using your finger tips.
6. Add the dried yeast and stir into the flour mix
7. Add all the water at once to the flour mix and stir together using the wooden spoon.
8. Use your hands as the dough gets tough and when it leaves the sides of the bowl clean (add a little more flour if it is too sticky), put the dough onto a floured surface.
9. Now the hard work! The dough will feel tight and lumpy and you must 'knead' it to make it smooth and stretchy. Push your hands into the dough, gather it back into a ball, turn it slightly and then repeat. Do this for about 5 minutes until the dough feels smooth.
10. Shape the dough into your own design or use one of the ideas below and place it on the greased baking tray.
    
    
11. Cover the shape with the oiled cling film to stop it drying out and then put the tray in a warm place so that the yeast can work and make the dough rise. In winter this might be the airing cupboard, or in summer the kitchen itself may be warm enough.
12. Now set the oven to 230°C/450°F/Gas Mark 8
13. When the loaf shape has about doubled in size (after about 30 minutes), remove the cling film and place the tray in the centre of the oven.
14. Bake the loaf for 20-25 minutes. It should be golden brown and sound hollow when tapped underneath.
15. Put the loaf on a wire rack to cool and the tuck in!
