This is a lovely bread ,very,very soft . The
texture is super awesome .
I made the roux ( flour cooked with water) the
previous night .
Mixed the flour in the morning,the dough
proved quick,due to the wild summer .
Breakfast was loved by all !
I want to specify that I used ghee not butter .
Trial turned successful!
Flour measurements may vary in each one’s
method of kneading.Next time I will post the
dough photos . Morning hours I want to finish
everything fast,so failed to take photos of the
dough .
Moving on to the recipe
