This medium-sized everyday bread is crafted by the <strong>kandur</strong>, the local baker, who prepares it fresh each morning in a <strong>tandoor</strong> (hot clay oven). With swift skill, he presses finger impressions into each round of dough before gently placing it against the inner walls of the glowing oven.</p>Sheermalhttps://arshadhs.github.io/docs/recipe/bread/sheermal/Wed, 23 Sep 2020 18:11:00 +0100https://arshadhs.github.io/docs/recipe/bread/sheermal/<p><strong>Sheermal</strong> is a fragrant, slightly sweet saffron milk bread — rich, golden, and soft — traditionally enjoyed with a cup of kehwa or served alongside kebabs. Infused with <em>kewra</em> and saffron, it&rsquo;s a royal treat from Mughal kitchens to Kashmiri bakeries.</p> <hr> <h2 id="ingredients"> Ingredients <a class="anchor" href="#ingredients">#</a> </h2> <ul> <li>Plain flour – 500 g</li> <li>Salt – 10 g</li> <li>Butter – 65 g</li> <li>Caster sugar – 25 g</li> <li>Milk powder – 50 g</li> <li>Egg – 1</li> <li>Cream – 20 g</li> <li>Kewra water – 20 g</li> <li>Milk – 220 ml</li> <li>Saffron – a few strands soaked in 2 tbsp lukewarm water</li> <li>Yeast – 1 tsp</li> </ul> <hr> <h2 id="method"> Method <a class="anchor" href="#method">#</a> </h2> <p>Use the Panasonic bread maker on Setting 22 to knead and rise the dough.<br> Shape and roll the dough to about 1 cm thickness.<br> Brush with milk or cream and bake until golden.<br> Enjoy warm with tea or as a festive side.</p>
