Sourdough nepalese bread

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1½ cup Sourdough starter sponge*
2 cups Whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons Sugar
½ teaspoon Baking powder
¼ teaspoon Cinnamon
¼ teaspoon Nutmeg
¼ teaspoon Cloves, ground
1 Egg, slightly beaten
½ teaspoon Salt
½ cup Milk

Directions

In sourdough starter put the beaten egg and the ½ cup milk. Sift all the dry ingredients together; add to the starter mixture. Work until the dough forms a smooth ball. Add more flour if needed. Dough should not be sticky, but should be soft. Cover and let rise for ½ hour or so. Divide into 4 equal parts. Shape each into a ball. On a lightly floured board, roll out each ball into an 8-inch circle. Cut into quarters. Heat 1½ inches of salad oil in a heavy skillet at 400F. Lower 1 portion of dough at a time into the hot oil; as soon as it returns to the surface, immediately turn over, using a slotted spatula. Continue to cook for 2 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Lift out and drain on paper towels. Serve warm. Good with lamb stew.

* Take your Mother Reserve out of refrigerator the night before, mix 1 ½ cups water, 1 ½ cups flour and the Mother Reserve and 1 tablespoon sugar. Cover and let set overnight. Next morning take your Mother Reserve back out, and after taking out what you use in the recipe, sprinkle the reserve with a dash of sugar and return to the refrigerator for future use.
