Top 5 dishes made from Bread Flour *plus extra
1 . Coconut Milk Bread
Coconut Milk Bread
Probably you won’t taste Coconut in this bread. This bread tastes like ordinary bread, but it smells good. Today I used 1/2 cup Coconut Milk and 1/2 cup Water. For stronger Coconut flavour, you can increase the amount of Coconut Milk. You might prefer using Coconut Milk only.
Ingredient
2 cups
Bread Flour *plus extra
2 tablespoons
Sugar
1/2 teaspoon
Salt
2 teaspoons
Dry Yeast
1/2 cup
Water
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Combine Flour, Sugar, Salt and Dry Yeast in a mixing bowl.
* Step 2
Place Coconut Milk and Water (OR Coconut Milk only) in a heat-proof measuring cup, and warm in the microwave. Add to the warmed Coconut Milk mixture and Oil (OR melted Butter) to the flour mixture, and mix well. Knead until smooth, adding extra Flour as required, and form a soft dough.
* Step 3
Cover with a plate or plastic wrap, and set aside in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
* Step 4
Divide the dough in half. Roll out each portion into a ball and place in a greased loaf tin, and set aside in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size. Preheat oven to 180℃.

2 . Cheese & Bacon ‘Pampushky’
Cheese & Bacon ‘Pampushky’
I have been loving ‘Pampushky’, Ukrainian Bread Rolls, since I discovered them. ‘Pampushky’ dough is made with Eggs and they have similar texture to Doughnuts. They can be savoury OR sweet. My ‘Easter Pampushky’ are absolutely delicious. Today I made savoury ones and topped with Cheese and Bacon. I knew they would taste great and I was right. I enjoyed these Cheese & Bacon ‘Pampushky’ with a hearty vegetable soup.

Bread Flour *plus extra
2 teaspoons (7 g)
Dry Yeast
2/3 teaspoon

Cover with a plate or plastic wrap, and set aside in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

3 . Poppy Seed Twisted Bread
Poppy Seed Twisted Bread
When I started searching for Ukrainian foods, it was in March, one of the first discoveries was Poppy Seeds Roll. It was a thick log of bread that was rolled with black Poppy Seed Paste. I was curious and I wanted to taste it, but I didn’t know where I could find the Poppy Seed Paste. Then, when I was walking along the street in a local town, I came across a shop called ‘European Grocery Store’. I popped in the shop and had a look around. Guess what I found there. A can of Poppy Seed Filling called ‘Masa Makowa’. Today I made this yummy treat using the ‘Masa Makowa’ and Ukrainian ‘Pampushky’ dough.
Ingredient
2 cups
Bread Flour *plus extra
2 teaspoons (7 g)
Dry Yeast
1/2 teaspoon
Salt
1/4 cup
Caster Sugar
100 ml
Warm Milk
30 g (2 tablespoons)
melted Butter OR Sunflower Oil
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Combine Bread Flour, Yeast, Salt and Sugar in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in Eggs, warmed Milk and Melted Butter (OR Oil). Mix well and knead, adding extra Flour as required, for 2 to 3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
* Step 2
Cover with a plate or plastic wrap, and set aside in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
* Step 3
Divide the dough into 2 portions, On a floured surface, roll out each portion of the dough into a large 4-5mm thin oblong, that will be about 25cm x 40cm. Spread 1/2 of Poppy Seed Paste, and roll up into a log.
* Step 4
Cut each log in half lengthways, and you will have 4 strips. Twist each strip, place the twisted strips on a baking tray lined with baking paper, and form a shape that you like. I made a round shape. Set aside in a warm place and preheat the oven to 180℃.
* Step 5
Brush the saved Egg over the dough, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes OR until nicely browned and cooked through. Transfer to a wire rack and cool.

4 . Easter ‘Pampushky’
Easter ‘Pampushky’
‘Pampushky’ are Ukrainian Bread Rolls. They can be savoury OR sweet, and baked OR deep-fried. As the ‘Jam Filled ‘Pampushky’ that I made the other day were so good, today I used the same dough to make these Easter ‘Pampushky’. They are almost same as Hot Cross Buns, but the texture is similar to Doughnuts. I didn’t make crosses on them. I dusted with Icing Sugar instead. Enjoy with nice cuppa.

5 . Jam Filled ‘Pampushky’
Jam Filled ‘Pampushky’
‘Pampushky’, the Ukrainian Bread Rolls, can be baked OR deep-fried. ‘Pampushky’ can be sweet, and sweet ‘Pampushky’ are often deep-fried and filled with Fruit Jam. Today I baked these sweet ‘Pampushky’. It’s very difficult to wrap ordinary Jam with bread dough. The easiest way is filling Jam after ‘Pampushky’ are baked.
Ingredient
2 cups
Bread Flour *plus extra
2 teaspoons (7 g)
Dry Yeast
1/2 teaspoon
Salt
1/4 cup
Caster Sugar
100 ml
Warm Milk
30 g (2 tablespoons)
melted Butter OR Sunflower Oil
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Combine Bread Flour, Yeast, Salt and Sugar in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in Eggs, warmed Milk and Melted Butter (OR Oil). Mix well and knead, adding extra Flour as required, for 2 to 3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
* Step 2
Cover with a plate or plastic wrap, and set aside in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
* Step 3
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to 2cm thickness, and cut out rounds using a round cutter or a drinking glass. Today I used 7cm cutter and made 11 rounds. *Note: You can simply divide the dough into 10 to 12 portions and roll each portion into a ball.
* Step 4
Place the rounds (OR balls) on a baking tray lined with baking paper, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Preheat oven to 180℃.
* Step 5
Bake for 15 minutes or until nicely browned. Transfer to a wire rack and cool. When cooled, make a hole using a thin knife, use a piping bag attached with nozzle to fill Jam in the ‘Pampushky’.
* Step 6
Dust with Icing Sugar. *Note: If you want to coat them with Sugar, ‘Pampushky’ need to be wet. You can wet them with Melted Butter, OR deep-frying is better method as it would be easy to coat with Sugar. See my recipe ‘Doughnuts’.
