Oil free vegan Masala Khara (spicy) bread

Ingredients:-

  • 3 cups of whole wheat flour (I used King arthur brand)
  • 1.5 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 cup of lukewarm soy milk
  • 1-2 cups of lukewarm water. I initially added 1 cup and then added maybe another quarter cup.
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper powder
  • Finely chopped green chilies according to your preference
  • 1 cup of finely chopped cilantro leaves
  • 1.5 cups of finely chopped onions
  • 3-4 tbsp finely chopped mint leaves. I added dry mint leaves
  • 2 sprigs of finely chopped curry leaves
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp of salt
  • 1 tsp of date sugar or maple syrup

Process:-

  • Mix and knead all the ingredients (except water and milk) in the Kitchen aid stand mixer.
  • Add milk and water as needed to form a soft dough.
  • Rest for almost 1hr covered with a damp cloth
  • After almost 1 hr softly knead the dough again and then let is sit for another 1-2hr or so.
  • Transfer to a baking loaf pan. Lightly brush with plant based milk of your choice.
  • Bake at 350F. I baked it for almost 45 mins. Check after 30 mins or so.
  • Cool on a cooling rack before cutting into slices.
