Inspired by her bakery visit during her travels, Louise tries her hand at making Goan Poie - a nutritionally-richer alternative to traditional breads. She also shares tips on how to adapt the concept to ingredients more commonly found outside of India.
LOUISE’S GOAN POIE RECIPE
Adapted from Sanjeev Kapoor’s Goan Poie recipe:
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups plain flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
¾ tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1¼ tsp instant dry yeast
1 tbsp oil
Instant oatmeal
INSTRUCTIONS:
Create a yeast mixture by combining 1 ¼ cup of lukewarm water with the instant dry yeast and sugar. Allow to stand for 5 minutes or until foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, sift plain flour and whole wheat flour together. Then add salt.
Add yeast mixture to mixing bowl and knead for about 5 minutes.
Place dough in a lightly oiled clean bowl. Cover and allow to rest for about an hour.
Blend instant oatmeal into a fine powder.
Divide rested dough into 12 equal portions. Coat in oat bran and roll into ¼ inch discs.
Place on a lined baking sheet, cover and allow to rest for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 220C. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
