(Rewritten in fresh wording)

Ingredients

  • 120 ml warm water
  • 8 g sugar
  • 6 g active dry yeast
  • 480 g fine sooji / semolina
  • 22 g milk powder
  • 7 g salt
  • 40 g oil
  • 180 ml water (room temperature)

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast:
    Combine warm water with sugar until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the yeast, cover the bowl, and let it sit for 10–15 minutes until frothy.
  2. Prepare the dough mix:
    In a separate large bowl, blend together fine sooji, milk powder, and salt. Pour in the activated yeast mixture, add oil, and follow with water.
  3. Knead the dough:
    Work the dough by hand for 10–15 minutes, or knead using a stand mixer/dough hook for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. First rise:
    Lightly oil the dough, shape it into a ball, cover the bowl, and leave it undisturbed until it doubles in size.
  5. Shape the loaf:
    Once risen, punch down the dough, flatten into a thick rectangular sheet, then roll tightly into a log. Seal the edges and place it into a greased loaf tin.
  6. Second rise:
    Cover the tin with a cloth and allow the dough to rise again for about 1 hour.
  7. Bake the bread:
    Brush the top with milk. Preheat the oven at 200°C for 10 minutes, bake for 15 minutes, then reduce temperature to 180°C and continue baking for 20–25 minutes.
  8. Cool & serve:
    Let the bread cool completely before slicing. Enjoy soft, fluffy, no-maida sooji bread at home!
