Rice Bread using cooked rice
Cooked rice bread is moist, soft, spongy and slightly sweet, quite similar to Potato bread. It is simple and hassle-free to make although the dough is a little sticky.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups cold cooked rice
- ⅓ cup powdered milk
- 1 cup water
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter or vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 3 cups plain flour
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 egg
For Savoury Rice bread
- 2 cloves garlic
- ¼ teaspoon crushed dry rosemary
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder.
Instructions
- Cook rice a little further to soften.
- Using a fork or potato masher, mash cooked rice a little.
- In a saucepan warm milk, water, sugar, butter or vegetable oil and salt to lukewarm.
- In a bowl, stir together yeast and 1 cup flour.
- Pour in milk and beat well.
- Add egg and rice, mix well. Also, add seasoning and spices if you are making Savoury rice bread.
- Add the remaining 2 cups of flour little by little. You will get a sticky dough. Knead the dough for 10 mins.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour until double in size.
- Grease two bread pans and set aside.
- knock down your dough and divide into two.
- Place in bread pans, cover and leave to rest 45 to 60 minutes.
- Meanwhile, 15 minutes to the end, preheat oven to 205 deg. C
- Bake for 30mins.
- Bread should sound hollow. Take out of the oven and grease immediately with butter.
Notes
- You do not have to mash your rice, you can leave it whole.
- If your rice is too wet, your dough might be too sticky and difficult to handle, just increase the amount of flour slightly.
- Flavourful rice like basmati, jasmine, brown rice will add more flavour to your bread.
- You can even use a mix of different types of rice.
