Honey And Curry Bread Recipe

How to make it

---

• This can be done in a stand mixer with dough hooks but I prefer to prepare this by hand
• In a very large mixing bowl place the water, yeast, egg, honey, salt, curry powder and stir well
• Gradually add a few cups of flour and mix with a wooden spoon
• Keep adding enough more flour to form a dough that can no longer be mixed by the spoon but is soft and pliable and only slightly sticky
• Now knead dough until smooth and elastic ( 5 + minutes ) by hand on a lightly floured surface
• Form dough into a round
• Place in a large oiled bowl and coat to turn dough
• Cover bowl and let rise double in a warm place ( maybe an hour )
• Gently deflate dough and divide into 3 pieces
• Form each piece into a loaf ( oval, round etc.)
• Place loaves on a baking sheet(s)
• Let rise double, covered-about 45 minutes
• Now brush loaves with beaten egg and sprinkle on some poppy seeds if desired
• Make a 1/2 inch slash diagonally across loaf or your own design
• Bake in a preheated 400F until dark golden brown and loaves are done- about 30 minutes or so
• Cool loaves completely on rack
• Serve warm or room temp- freeze uneaten loaves.
• Note: time preparation does not include the kneading, rising, baking etc.
