I have been hopping into Suma's blog for a while and got to know of your work in through. In this recipe, you mentioned that All purpose flour can be replaced with whole wheat flour and Vital Wheat gluten if kneading for a shorter duration.

I do not know if you do not like to go to thrift stores, but you can get brand new still in box or hardly used bread machines for under 20 bucks.

If you wa...Thanks all for leaving a comment.<br />Suma,<br /> If you want to make khara bread or masala bread, leave out the milk. Use just water and use only about 3/4 cups. After you add chopped preferably sauteed onions, you might have to add some more flour to get the right consistency since the water in the onions might make the dough mushy. When you start with 3/4 cup of water, don't add all of Champahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389840348787422502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8430469841501922463.post-64566730326232063572010-06-17T06:06:56.635-04:002010-06-17T06:06:56.635-04:00Nothing like the homemade breads...Nothing like the homemade breads...Rachanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18313695476678501031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8430469841501922463.post-14880855837408783362010-06-17T04:14:19.778-04:002010-06-17T04:14:19.778-04:00Nothing will beat home made bread, looks gorgeous....Nothing will beat home made bread, looks gorgeous..Priya Sureshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877565823603705723noreply@blogger.com
