Yeasted Bhatura#BreadBakers

Chole Bhatura' is a very famous street food in India This Punjabi dish  a combination of Chole and Bhatura, a chickpea gravy served with fried bread. Bhatura's are made with or without yeast. This Bhatura recipe is with yeast, they so very flaky, puffy, super soft and delicious. I served them with Chole. There is nothing more delicious, super tasty than this combo of Chole Bhatura. 

Made for lunch and we, really enjoyed them. 

Makes 13
Ingredients  

2 Cups All Purpose Flour
1/3 Cup Fine Semolina
1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 Cup Club Soda
1 Tablespoon Oil
1 Teaspoon Yeast
1 Tablespoon Sugar
½ Teaspoon Sea Salt or to taste
Oil as required for deep frying
Method 

In a bowl add the sugar, salt, oil, yeast, club soda and mix it. Now add the semolina and give it a good mix. Cover the bowl and let it rest for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes add both the flours in a bowl. Mix it well add more club soda if necessary and knead it to a soft dough. Take the dough out on to lightly oiled work surface and knead till you get a soft smooth dough for about 10 minutes.

In a big bowl add a teaspoon of oil and club soda each and mix well. Coat the dough with this and let it rest covered till it doubles in volume. This oil and club soda mix, will help to keep the dough moist, since semolina tends to absorb more liquid and the dough should not dry out. Cover the bowl with a lid and keep it in a warm place for 2.1/2 to 3 hours.

After 2.1/2 to 3 hours of fermenting the dough should look like this.

Knead the dough once again for 3-4 minutes and put in the same place for another hour.

Divide the dough into equal pieces.

Make lemon size balls out of it.

Keep the balls covered in a damp cloth.

Rolling one at a time oil the work surface 

Flatten it to 2-3 inches with a rolling pin into an oval shape or round in shape.

Flatten all the balls and keep them covered with a damp cloth.

In the meantime heat the oil for deep frying.

 Starting with the first rolled one put it in hot oil on medium high flame, it will puff up immediately. 

The oil should be very much hot. Flip it when the one side is light golden. 

Fry them one by one, till all are done.

Bhaturas  are  ready ...

Enjoy them. 

Do try this and make your meal a special and enjoyable one.

Alfajores ( Sandwich Cookies With Dulce De Leche)#BakingBloggers

Welcome to Baking Bloggers event, today we are posting recipes from Central America to South America, from Mexico south to Argentina and all points between.

Made these tender crumbly cookies which are sandwiched with dulce de leche – Alfajores are such delicate kind of cookies that are mouth melting and you will love it.

I have used my homemade dulce de leche to sandwich these tender cookies, it take's these cookies to another level... almost irresistible.. you can't stop at one.. they are too good.

Makes 12 sandwich cookies

Ingredients
100 Grams Unsalted Butter - the butter should be cold
25 Grams Salted Butter - the butter should be cold
50 Grams Powdered Sugar
1 Egg Yolk - only- from the refrigerator
1 Teaspoon Vanilla extract
105 Grams All Purpose Flour
105 Grams Cornflour
1/2 Teaspoon Level Baking powder
1/8 Teaspoon Baking soda
5 - 6 Tablespoons Dulce De Leche - Homemade
Icing sugar or Shredded Coconut for dusting


Method
Sieve the cornflour and all purpose,sugar, baking powder and soda, keep aside.

Grate the cold butter in a big bowl, rub the sieved ingredients into the butter lightly with your hands, add the egg yolk and essence lightly bring it together into a ball. Wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes ( chilling the dough is must). Do not knead the dough too much or else the cookies will become hard and loose that crumbly texture.

Once the dough has cooled, roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and using light pressure as possible roll it approximately 1/4 inch thick and it into cut small circles with a cookie cutter. 

Place them on a lined cookie sheet/baking sheet/tray. Repeat with the rest of the dough. Place the tray back into the refrigerator to chill for at least 15 minutes. 

In the meantime preheat the oven to 170 C. 

After the cookies are cold then bake the cookies for exactly 11 to 12 minutes until they are just starting to brown very slightly at the sides. They should still be very pale. Leave to cool for 5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack. 

When the cookies are cool, put a small spoonful of dulce de leche on one cookie and press another on top lightly (these tend to break if extra pressure is used while sandwiching these) . 

Hold them in the center lightly while sandwiching so that they don't break. 

Dust them with icing sugar.

Enjoy these mouth melting cookies. 

My Notes

If you are using unsalted butter then add a pinch of salt.

The number of cookies is based on the cookie cutter size - I have used  a 2.1/2 cookie cutter and then when a little dough  made small ones with 2 inch cookie cutter. The small ones look cute and are also easier to sandwich they do not break. Would suggest using a 2 inch cookie cutter.

I wanted to roll these in coconut, but my hubby said no, he prefers icing sugar.
