Recipe Ingredients:

  • 3 cups of flour
  • 4g Yeast
  • A pinch of salt
  • A cup of sugar
  • A cup of Milk
  • Two tablespoons of Oil/margarine
  • Lukewarm water
  • One egg for egg wash
  • warm water

Recipe Instructions:

How to make agege bread:

  • In a mixing bowl, mix your dry ingredients: flour, salt, and sugar; make sure to serve before using to avoid lumps.
  • In a different bowl, mix the wet ingredients that are your milk, yeast, sugar and lukewarm water and leave for some time until yeast starts to form.
  • Make a hole in the middle of the flour mixture and add your milk and yeast mixture. Mix properly. It might become sticky at first, but it becomes firm after kneading for a while.
  • Knead the dough well until it becomes elastic. Make sure to add a little bit of flour to the board, so the dough doesn’t stick to the board.
  • To know that the dough is well kneaded you should be able to take a piece of it and stretch it to a very thin membrane before it breaks, and the break should form a circle (Windowpane test).
  • Knead the dough into a ball and put it in a bowl greased with oil, and cover with a towel. Leave the dough to rise for a while. Make sure to keep it in a warm place to make the dough rise faster.
  • Once the dough has risen, remove the towel, punch the dough into a flat surface, and divide it into smaller parts. Cover with cling film and let it rest for ten minutes.
  • Shape the dough and place them in a well-greased oil pan. Cover with a towel and let it rise slightly.
  • The dough is time to be baked. Preheat your oven to 370F for five minutes. Use egg wash to baste the surface to give it a radiant look. Then bake for 30minutes.
