MUSHROOM PLEATED BREAD

My craze for mushrooms keeps on growing day by day- so as the craze for discovering new recipes grows. So here is something different you can do with your mushrooms.

INGREDIENTS:-

To make two breads:

For the dough:-

2 cups all purpose flour

2/3 cup butter

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 salt

1/2 tsp ajwain

1/2 cup milk

For the filling:-

200 gms mushrooms-sliced finely

2 onions-finely chopped

1/2 tsp black pepper powder

1/2 tsp red chilli powder

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp garam masala

1/2 tsp amchoor

1 tbsp chopped coriander

1 tbsp butter

METHOD:-

1.For the bread, sieve flour, baking powder and salt together in a bowl. Cut butter in small cubes and rub it gently into the flour mixture with your fingers till the texture is like breadcrumbs. Now add milk and knead the mixture to form a dough.Cover it and keep aside.

2. For the filling,heat butter in a pan,add onions, mushrooms and salt to it and stir for about 5-6 mins on medium heat till light brown and dry. Add rest of the ingredients. Keep aside to cool.

3. Roll out the dough into a rectangle of 10"*8". Mark length-wise into three equal parts. Leaving the center intact,cut the outer parts diagonally in small equal strips. Place the filling in center part and lift the strips from both sides alternately and place them on the top of filling.

4. Brush the top with milk and bake in a pre-heated oven at 200*C for about 30-40 mins or till top is well browned and crispy. Serve hot with tomato ketchup.

NOTES:-

1. You can make this bread with different filling other than this one.

2. If you want to make one piece of bread, reduce the ingredients to half and proceed using the same method.
