We saw Michael turn his chili bread into a red star "Keralan Style' on Season 10 of The Great British Baking Show ™. This is our version of the spicy bread.
Ingredients
1 tsp sugar
10 g SAF red fast-action dried yeast (try to use SAF - it really makes a difference)
500 g bread flour
2 tsp salt
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp ground coriander seeds
2 tsp gochugaru
30 ml coconut oil
1 egg
3 tsp cumin seeds
mango chutney, to serve
Instructions
Warm 2 tablespoons water to 110 degrees F, and add the sugar and the yeast. Stir and then set aside for 10 minutes, by which time a form should be visible on the surface.
Put the flour into a mixing bowl. Add the salt, ground cumin, ground coriander, gochugaru and activated yeast and stir.
Melt the coconut oil and add to the dough. Add 300 ml of hand-hot water iand combine to form a soft dough. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic (you can use a dough hook on a stand mixer.)
Move the dough to an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap then leave in a warm place to rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
When the dough has doubled in size, knock it back. Leave to rest for 5 minutes.
Heat the oven to 425°F. Brush the beaten egg mixture over the dough then sprinkle with cumin seeds. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the base sounds hollow when tapped.
