ABOUT Leftover Rice Bread RECIPE

Most of the times we end up with leftover rice at home. It is advisable to use it at the earliest. We all love fried rice and rice parantha made with leftover rice. Here is an interesting bread baked with the leftover rice. The bread comes out soft and spongy and is best eaten the same day. It makes great sandwiches and toasts very well. It has a great texture and taste.

Ingredients Serving: 6

3 cups flour
1 cup cooked rice (freshly cooked, leftover, white rice or brown rice)
3 teaspoons oil for bread +1 teaspoon for greasing the bowl and pan
¾ teaspoons salt
¾ cup warm water
1 tablespoon sugar
2 ¼ teaspoon instant dry yeast

Instructions

In a large bowl, take flour, salt and oil. Mix well.
In another bowl, take water, sugar and yeast. Mix, cover and keep for 10 minutes. It should turn frothy. Add rice and mix.
Add wet ingredients to flour mix. Knead for 6-7 minutes till you get a smooth, slightly tacky dough.
In the beginning, take slightly less than ¾ cup water for activating the yeast. While kneading keep adding water as needed. We don’t want a very sticky dough.
Transfer the dough to a greased bowl and turn around once so that it is evenly coated with oil. Cover with a kitchen towel and keep in a warm place to rise for 1 hour or until double.
Grease one 8 ½ x 4 ½ inch loaf pan.
Transfer the risen dough onto a floured counter. With your fingers, flatten the dough into 8x10 inch rectangle. Tightly roll the dough, pinch and tuck the ends in. Place into the greased loaf pan.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees C for 40-45 minutes. The pan should sound hollow when tapped.
Cool on the rack. Slice when cold
