  2. 2

    Add the butter and mix it into the dough, if the dough is too sticky sprinkle in some maida, make sure not to add too much. (We need a very soft dough) The dough is done when nothing sticks to your hand and the dough is soft and supple (knead for 8-10 mins) Shape it into a ball, cover it with a damp towel and let it rest for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

    Butter

  3. 3

    Punch down the dough, knead for 1-2 minutes, shape it into a loaf and let it rest for 30-45 minutes on a well-floured plate or 1 ½ in size.

  4. 4

    Add the plate to a pre-heated pan lined with salt. Cover and let it cook for 20-25 minutes or until the bread is brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Let the bread rest for 15-20 minutes before cutting into it.

    Hi Cookd team, I got a doubt here. Is it ok to replace maida with wheat with the same measurements ? And may I also know the temperature and runtime for baking the same in an OTG please ?
