I did not have whole wheat flour to bake Goan styled poie/flatbread so I tried my own version using a mix of chapati flour and normal bread flour.. it turned out surprisingly soft and delicious.
Ingredients:
1 cup Chaki Atta - wheat flour
2 cups normal bread flour
1 egg
1 sachet instant dry yeast
4-5 tbsp warm milk or water
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp sugar
Salt for seasoning
Method;
1. In a bowl, mix all the ingredients except for the olive oil and knead well.
2. If it gets sticky add the olive oil to the palms if your hand and continue kneading until soft.
3. Cover and store in a dark place/cupboard for an hour.
4. You will see that it has risen, punch the air out and knead again.
5. Cut into equal portions and roll into circles/ovals. Use the atta flour for dusting if needed.
6. Place in a tray brushed with little oil and cover. Leave for 30-40 mins.
7. Preheat oven. You can brush the bread tops with melted butter if you wish.. I dusted a bit of flour to give a rough texture.
8. Place in the oven and cook for 10 mins or until lightly brown.
9. Take the bread out of the oven and cover with a tea towel for 15-20 mins. This will help soften the bread.
10. Enjoy warm with your favourite gravy dish.
