Dad's Lost Bread Recipe

- 2 cups warm water
- 1 Tablespoon of active yeast
- 1/4 cup honey or sugar (85g honey or 50g sugar)
- 2 teaspoons table salt
- 2 Tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
- 4 - 5 1/2 cups all-purpose or bread flour

Step 1: Add water, yeast and a pinch of honey/sugar into a large bowl or stand mixer. Let sit for 5-10 mins until the mixture is foaming and bubbly, allowing the yeast to proof.

Step 2: Add remaining honey/sugar, salt, oil and 3 cups of flour. Fold to combine. While mixing, add ½ cups of flour until dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.

Step 3: Knead dough for 5 mins. The dough should be smooth and elastic. It should stick to your finger, but not overly so.

Step 4: Grease a large bowl with oil or cooking spray, place dough inside and let rise in a warm place for about 1 ½ hours.

Step 5: Punch down dough to remove air bubbles within.

Step 6: Split dough into two loaves, place in two greased bread pans.

Step 7: Place cooking towel over bread pans, let rise for 45 mins to an hour.

Step 8: Preheat oven to 350℉, bake for 30-33 mins, or until golden brown on top. To test if ready, tap the loaf; it should sound hollow inside.

Step 9: Place loaves on a cooling rack, and coat the crust on top with butter.

Step 10: Let sit for 15 minutes to cool before slicing. After that, enjoy a slice with margarine, just like dad would make it.

Next, add your two cups of water and cover your pan, cooking until your potatoes become soft
Make sure to check in between, feel free to add hot water as needed
Take the time now to add your garam masala and coriander, for garnish

Now is your time to finally taste the warmth and have it with a fresh rotli!

Instructions:
1) Prepare two little plastic cups, one large glass cup, and small dessert spoons. Place one spoon in each little cup, and set aside.
2) Pour as much milk as you see fit into the large glass cup.
3)Squirt some ketchup into the milk for a pretty pink tint!
4)Where there's ketchup, there is mustard, so you better not forget a few drops of ordinary yellow mustard.
5)You’ll need some sweetener, so add roughly a spoonful of apple sauce into the mix. It makes for an intriguing texture. Don’t bother stirring yet though, we like to let it sit at the bottom for a while.

6)And what goes better with applesauce than chocolate? When we created this recipe, it felt like we were creating a scrumptious candied apple drink. Adding nutella was and still is more than necessary. So throw in a spoonful of nutella, and stir until the milk has visible apple and nutella chunks floating around.

7)Now add lots of lemon juice, everyone loves lemonade!

8)Don’t forget the orange juice pulp! This recipe is only useful when there is very little to drink in the fridge, so you want the bottom of the orange juice to be dumped in your concoction.

9) Sprinkle in some salt with a very fancy french accent, and stir for five minutes.

10) Finally, you can pour your potion evenly into the two little cups and begin to drink! The correct way to drink this potion is to use the little spoons you had already placed in the cups, and drink it like soup. Heads up, there might be some gagging! The magic of the potion is that it makes your taste buds feel like they’re being tormented, but really it’s a delicious beverage that you will absolutely never forget!
