Golden brick bread, a beloved crispy yet tender delicacy, is surprisingly easy to make at home. Here’s a detailed guide to crafting this golden treat.
Ingredients: All-purpose flour (500g), warm milk (300ml), yeast (7g), sugar (50g), salt (5g), eggs (2), melted butter (60g), vegetable oil (for frying).
Steps:
1. Dough Preparation: Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm milk, let sit for 5 minutes until frothy. In a large bowl, mix flour and salt, make a well, pour in the yeast mixture and beaten eggs. Knead into a smooth dough, add melted butter, and continue kneading for 10 minutes until elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1–2 hours until doubled in size.
2. Shaping: Punch down the dough, divide into 12 equal portions. Roll each into a thin rectangle, brush lightly with oil, fold into thirds like a letter, then roll again into a strip.
3. Proofing: Place the strips on a baking sheet, cover, and let proof for 30 minutes until slightly puffy.
4. Frying: Heat oil to 170°C. Fry each brick bread for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Serving Tips: Enjoy plain, or sprinkle with powdered sugar, fill with jam, or pair with hot soup. For extra flavor, add vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the dough.
This versatile bread, with its flaky layers and golden crust, is perfect for breakfast or snacks. Happy baking!
