Handmade Millet & Sweet Potato Bread

Hi!! Yoohoo!!! Guess what.... I woke up around 9.30am in the morning and the best thing is I have no classes today!! I guess today is a great day for me to do baking!!!  Bread, bread, bread…  My top failure!!  So I guess today I will bake BREAD!! Never to give up you see. =p

OK! The bread that I’m baking today is “Millet & Sweet Potato Bread”.

 Taadaa!!! This is my Millet & Sweet Potato Bread!! 

Below are the ingredients that I use:-

500g high protein flour

6g instant dry yeast

100g cooked millet

100g cooked sweet potato *boil it with water*

1 tsp salt

80g brown sugar

220-250ml ice water

50g butter (cut into cubes) *keep it in the fridge until you use it*

For your information, we will need to cook the millets, so below is the method:-

* You may get this Millets in any organic shop*

Put 200g millets, 300ml water, 3tbsp sugar, 20g butter into a pot and bring to boil over high heat. Lower the heat and cook until millet is soft and dry like the picture shown above.

 This is how your dough should be. Smooth and elastic!!!

This is where you start to seperate your dough into 2 portions after the 2 hours proofing process.

 Baking in the oven at 180 degrees Celcius for 30-35 minutes.

Process Done!

After bread is completely cooled down. You may cut it into slices and keep it in a tupperware.

Methods will be shared here:-

1) Combine all ingredients (except butter) and mix into a dough.

2) FYI, I am not using a bread mixer so i will need to mix the ingredient with my hands. After mixing the ingredients when it turns into a dough, you will need to flip the dough foward then fold it over. It will be rather sticky at the beginning but just continue mixing it until the dough is smooth and elastic. (p/s: if you are using a bread mixer, just beat it until the dough is smooth and elastic)

3) Add in butter and continue to mix until dough is smooth and elastic.

4) Cover with a plastic bag and proof for 2 hours.

5) Divide the dough into 2 portions and round up into a cyclinder shape.

6) Place dough into greased loaf tins and cover with plastic bag. Leave it to proof for 1 hour.

7) Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees celcius for 30-35 minutes.

8) Remove the loaves from tins and place onto wire rack to cool.
