Whole Wheat and Semolina Bread Rusk
Healthy rusks combining the goodness of whole wheat and semolina!
Equipment
- Baking tray
- OTG
Ingredients
- 125 grams Whole Wheat Flour
- 125 grams Fine Semolina Baarik Rava
- ¼ tsp Salt
- 3-4 tbsp Jaggery or sugar
- ¾ tsp Yeast
- 1.5-2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 200 ml Milk
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients, except milk, into a big bowl and mix well.
- Add milk little by little, till you get a shaggy dough. You may need a little more or little less depending on how your flour absorbs liquids.
- Take this dough onto a clean kitchen counter and knead for 10-12 minutes using the stretch and pull method. The dough should now be smooth, soft and pliable. (You can also knead the dough in a stand mixer).
- Keep the dough in a well oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth or cling wrap and allow to double in size.
- Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it gently to release the gases and knead for a minute.
- Divide the dough into two portions. Take one portion, roll out into a rectangle form and then fold tightly into a log shape. Repeat this step with the other portion. Keep these two logs on a greased tray/ in a greased mould and allow to double in size.
- Preheat the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes. Bake the bread for 25 minutes and then allow the loaves to cool completely.
- Slice each loaf into 1/2 inch thick slices and then arrange on a tray lined with parchment paper.
- Bake at 130 degrees Celsius (in a preheated oven) for 20 minutes. Rotate the tray halfway in between.
- Take out the tray, flip the slices over and bake again at 130 degrees Celsius for another 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on the oven or your rusks may burn.
- Take out the rusks and let cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.
- Enjoy with a cup of hot tea!!!
Notes
- You can use sugar instead of jaggery if you wish.
- Add spices of your choice (cardamom, fennel, etc).
