Parmesan Bread

📝 Ingredients

Dough ke liye:

• 3 cups maida (all-purpose flour)

• 1 tbsp cheeni (sugar)

• 1 tsp namak (salt)

• 2¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)

• 1 cup garam pani (lukewarm, zyada garam nahi)

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Optional (extra flavour ke liye):

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp Italian seasoning

• Thoda sa chopped fresh dhania ya parsley

👩‍🍳 Banane ka Tarika

1️⃣ Yeast Activate karo

Ek chhoti bowl mein garam pani, cheeni aur yeast daalo. 5–10 minute ke liye chhod do jab tak upar foam na aa jaye.

2️⃣ Dough Banayein

Ek bade bowl mein maida aur namak mix karo.
Ab yeast mixture aur olive oil add karo. Achhi tarah mix karo.
End mein Parmesan cheese (aur herbs agar use kar rahe ho) mila do.

3️⃣ Kneading

Dough ko 8–10 minute tak achhe se gundo jab tak smooth aur elastic na ho jaye.
(Agar mixer hai toh dough hook se 5–6 minute mein ho jayega.)

4️⃣ First Rise

Dough ko halka sa oil lagaye hue bowl mein rakho. Cover karke 1–1.5 ghante ke liye rakh do jab tak double size ka na ho jaye.

5️⃣ Shape do

Dough ko halka punch karo aur loaf ya round shape bana lo. Baking tray ya loaf tin mein rakh do.

6️⃣ Second Rise

Phir se cover karke 30–45 minute ke liye rakh do.

7️⃣ Baking

Preheated oven mein 190°C (375°F) par 25–30 minute bake karo jab tak upar se golden brown na ho jaye.

Tip: Bake karne se pehle upar thoda melted butter brush karo aur extra Parmesan sprinkle karo – crust aur bhi tasty banega. 😋
