Groundnut Oil 2-4 tbsp 

Water 1 cup

Honey 2 tsp

Chia seeds for topping

METHOD 

1. First step is to bloom Yeast for our bread dough, so make a liquid blend my mixing water, honey, Yeast and 1 tbsp Wheat flour in a bowl. Keep it covered for 10 minutes. Once it starts to froth, you may use this for making the dough. 

2. Take all the flours mentioned in ingredients in a large bowl add some salt and milk powder. Sift everything twice. 

3. Knead a soft pliable dough using the frothy Yeast mixture. Grease the dough with 2 tsp oil. Cover with cling film and leave on kitchen counter for 1 or 2 hours, so it doubles.

4. Whilst the dough is proofing, lets prepare our stuffing, but you can make any filling you wish to use. Fine chop onions, mushroom and paneer. 

5. Place a frying pan, add oil. Put onions and saute, after few seconds add the mushrooms too.

6. When the mushrooms have shrunken, add paneer.

7. Now add all the spices you would like and mix. I have added chili, curry powder, salt, chilli paste.

8. Add grated cheese of any type, it's totally optional, if you don't like you can skip it. 

9. Once the dough has proofed. Take it out on greased kitchen counter and knead till it is smooth.

10. Divide in 4 equal parts. Roll one dough ball into a rough rectangle shape. 

11. Place filling in the centre part as shown. Make cuts, Apply little water around the edges.

12. Wrap the cuts alternating and tucking each slits under the earlier one.

13. Apply some oil on the Braided bread. Sprinkle chia seeds on top. Sesame, poppy or nigela seeds can be added instead.

14. Keep covered with a kitchen towel for 20 minutes for second proofing.

15. 10 minutes before the proofing time, start your oven and keep it on preheat mode.

16. Bake at 200 degrees centigrade for 20-25 minutes.

17. Serve immediately with your favorite sauce or chutney.
