Flaky Breakfast Bread Recipe

Flaky Breakfast Bread Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups water (400 ml)
• 1 packet baking soda (10 grams)
• 4.5 cups flour (540 grams)
• 1 teaspoon salt (8 grams)
• 200 grams butter (melted)
• 1 tea glass oil (100 ml)

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine water and baking soda. Gradually add flour and salt while mixing to form a medium-soft dough. Knead for 3-4 minutes.
2. Cover the dough and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.
3. Divide the dough into two equal portions, and then divide each portion into four pieces, yielding 8 pieces in total. Shape each piece into a ball and cover to rest for another 15 minutes.
4. Roll out each ball into a circle approximately 35 cm (13 inches) in diameter.
5. Melt the butter and mix it with the oil. Brush each rolled-out dough with the butter-oil mixture.
6. Using a knife, cut lines into the dough, then roll each piece into a spiral. Repeat for all pieces and set aside.
7. Cover the spiraled dough and refrigerate for 1 hour.
8. After 1 hour, roll each spiral into a 25 cm (10 inches) circle. Heat a pan over medium heat, and cook each piece, turning frequently, until both sides are golden brown.
9. Serve warm and enjoy!
