Sour Cream and Corn Savory Bread

Prep Time1 hour
Cook Time40 minutes
Author: Hina Gujral

Ingredients

  • 4 Cups all purpose flour + for dusting
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoon Castor Sugar
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 2/4 Cup corn puree see directions below
  • ¼ Cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 teaspoon crushed black pepper
  • Olive oil to brush the tin
  • Cup water

To finish

  • 2 tablespoon milk to brush
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds to sprinkle

Instructions

  • To make corn puree take ½ Cup fresh corn kernels and boil in water until soft. Drain in a strainer and keep in the strainer for 15 minutes until all the water is drained.
  • Blend to a smooth puree using one tablespoon of water at a time do not use too much water. Puree should be thick like vada batter.
  • Dissolve the sugar in lukewarm water and add the yeast. Keep for about 5 minutes till the yeast turns frothy. Make sure water is not hot else it will kill the yeast.
  • Meanwhile sift the flour, pepper and salt together in a bowl.
  • Make well in the centre of the flour and add the yeast mixture, mustard, corn puree, sour cream. Mix gently with spatula and let it stay like this for 2 – 3 minutes for the flour to absorb liquids.
  • I do this in the food processor and then do the final kneading by hand. Then tip out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead by hand, adding a teaspoon of lukewarm water at a time until the dough is smooth, firm and just beginning to feel a little sticky. I fix a timer for 10 minutes and knead the dough for 10 minutes.
  • Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a cling foil and allow to double in volume in some dark and draught free place. I keep it inside microwave. This usually takes 1 ½ hour.
  • After about 1 ½ hour or once dough has risen almost double in volume, turn it into lightly dusted surface and punch back to deflate it. Now shape the loaf.
  • Grease bread tin with oil and place the loaf in it. Again put it in dark and warm place for rising this usually takes 30 – 40 minutes.
  • Once the dough has risen once again. Preheat oven at 180 degree celcius.
  • Make a cut lengthwise on top. Brush the top with lukewarm milk. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
  • Bake for about 40 minutes. If tapped on the bottom the bread will sound hollow, once it is done. Cool on a rack for 2 – 3 hours before slicing. Store in airtight box in fridge.
