Bombay Bundt Bread – Easy Bread Recipes
Firstly, this bread recipe is inspired by the traditional plain bread we get at bakeries in Bombay. Moreover, I’m so used to having bakery bread regularly for dinner, its been a regular routine. Bakery bread in Bombay also known as Laadi pav is super soft and fluffy. Therefore, here’s my recipe for making this bakery bread even tasty.
Firstly,
Let’s talk INGREDIENTS (Simple homemade bread recipe) – Bombay Bundt Bread
Milk
Bread in regular bakeries in Bombay is prepared by kneading it with water, however, I like to use milk & milk powder. As a result, this makes the bread so tasty that you can even enjoy it all by itself. So no jam, no butter, no cheese just bread still so YUMMY
Yeast
So, one of the most important ingredients in bread making is YEAST. As a result, yeast causes the process of fermentation. Moreover, it produces carbon dioxide which makes the bread rise. Also, you can feel free to use dry yeast or fresh yeast, whatever is easily available. In my recipe, I have used fresh yeast. Moreover, to activate the yeast, I put 2 tablespoons of fresh yeast in a tablespoon of warm water with a teaspoon of granulated sugar. Then, let this mixture rest for 5 mins before using it. Do the same if using dry yeast
