Homemade Rice Wine#SundayFunday

This is my mother's recipe. A tried and tested recipe. My mother use to make this often and we all loved having this wine. By the way my mother use to prepare another different rice wine using raisins also will make and post this soon.. means maybe another Christmas.

Ingredients

275 Grams Raw Rice
3 Grams Fresh Yeast
1 Kg Sugar
2 Big Sour Limes juice
2 Liters Water
90 ML Gin
Other Requirements
5 - 6 litres Sterlized Glass or Ceramic jar (‘Buyaon’ in East Indian/ ‘Bharani‘ in Marathi)
a long Wooden spoon or stick to stir the contents
3 Sterilized Liquor Bottles around 750 ML Each
A Strainer
A large clean & dry steel pot to strain out the contents
A clean & dry funnel to pour the wine into the bottle

Method 
Wash the rice in water twice. The third time use boiled and cooled water to give it a final rinse. Keep aside.

Boil the water and keep it aside. When the water is luke warm, add rest of the ingredients. Fill this into a sterilized buyaon / jar along with dried yeast, sugar, sour lime juice, and stir the sugar until it is mixed well (doesn’t need to dissolve right away as granulated sugar will take sometime to dissolve). Cover the mouth of the jar with a clean cloth and lightly place the lid.

Keep the jar in a warm dry place of your kitchen. Stir the contents with the wooden spoon/clean wooden stick once a day, for two days. On the third day strain out the liquid and separate the rice. Grind the rice to a very coarse paste, pulsing it just two or three times.

Pour the liquid and the ground rice into the jar again and give it a good mix. 

Cover the mouth with the cloth and place the lid lightly. Keep this to ferment for 21 days undisturbed( do not stir it at all).

After 21 days, strain with a fine muslin/cheese cloth this into a another big sterilized jar which can hold all the wine. Ensure that the jar is placed where they needn’t be moved around (this is because the decanting process requires the containers to be absolutely still as the sediment settles to the bottom of the bottles). 

Next day again strain the wine with a muslin cloth carefully seeing that the sediment that's settled at bottom of the jar is still. Repeat this process another 2 times for the next two days.

On the third day add the gin and give it a good stir. Keep this again for a day or two. 

Now the final straining of the wine and it's ready to serve.
Cheers & Merry Christmas!

1 tsp heaped Vanilla essence
½ Cup All Purpose Flour
¼ Teaspoon Nutmeg powder

Method

Sprinkle nutmeg powder. Place this dish on a baking tray.

Do not fill the pie dish up to the rim, fill it only 3/4th as this rises while baking and it was spill and may cause fire in the oven.  Once out of the oven this will fall flat like a souffle.

Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
300 Grams Almond Flour
60 Grams Coconut flour
40 Grams Finely Ground Golden Flaxseed
45 Grams Finely Ground Psyllium Husks
14 Grams Baking Powder
12 Grams Instant Yeast
1½ Teaspoon Pink Himalayan Salt
Wet Ingredients
45 Ml Apple Cider Vinegar
45 Ml Coconut or Olive Oil
460 Ml - 480 Ml Warm Water
Method
Preheat the oven at 100°C ,when the oven is heated switch it off and leave the light on. 

In a large bowl, whisk the almond flour, coconut flour, flaxseed, psyllium husk and baking powder until well combined. In a small bowl, combine salt, yeast, warm water and stir until the salt is dissolved.
Add the apple cider vinegar, coconut oil and yeast mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until the yeast is well combined and a dough is formed.

Shape the dough into a loaf and place into a loaf pan measuring 7x3.5x3" or any suitable pan lined with parchment paper. For Boule, mold the dough into a round shape. Sprinkle with 1 to 2 tsp arrowroot powder (optional) and make 3 cuts on the top of the dough.
Cover the dough loosely with a dry towel. Sprinkle some coconut flour on the top of dough to prevent it from sticking to the towel.

Pour sufficient boiling water into a baking dish that fits the oven. Place the baking dish with boiling water at the bottom of the oven and the dough above it. Close the oven door and let it proof for 1 hour. Do not open the oven door during the proofing process.

After an hour or so, remove the towel and the baking dish with water. Turn on the oven heat at 180°C to start the baking. It's not necessary to pre heat the oven.

Tent the bread pan with a foil for at least 45 minutes of baking. After 45 minutes remove the foil and continue to bake until a a wooden skewer inserted comes out clean and the top of bread should be hard and crusty. Internal temperature should be around 96 to 98°C. Turn off the oven, remove the bread from the pan and let it sit on a sheet pan with the parchment paper inside the oven for about 40 to 60 minutes. The residual heat will ensure the bread is properly cooked and the crumbs are drier.

Let this cool completely.  

Slice & Enjoy with jam or butter!!
