After a year of hiatus I baked a bread for Bread Bakers, I should bake regularly from now on..... For this January 2019 the theme given by Felice Geoghegan of All That's Left Are The Crumbs was to bake Good Luck Breads - they could be something that brings good fortune throughout the year ( Madri Gras , New Year , even a housewarming ) or shaped as a good luck symbol ( Pigs , Horseshoe , four leaf Clover , Number etc. ) .
I choose to make the four clover Bread with coriander and garlic as I prefer savory breads. The four leaf clover is considered to bring good luck . This four leaf clover bread is made for St.Patrick's Day celebration.
2 cup all purpose flour
2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbs butter
2 tbs Instant dry yeast
1 1/2 - 2 cup of luke warm water
4 tbs chopped coriander leaves
10 clove of garlic
2 tbsp of soft butter
In a bowl mix the all purpose flour and wheat flour. To this add the salt , sugar and instant dry yeast and mix again.
Add in the lukewarm water and mix well. Transfer to the kitchen counter and knead for five minutes, then add the butter and knead again till the dough is soft.
Transfer to a oiled bowl and cover with soft cloth. Let the dough double in size . It will take about 2 hour.
Chop the garlic into fine pieces and mix it with the melted butter along with coriander leaves.
Gently deflate the doubled dough and divide into tennis ball size dough of equal size.
Divide each tennis ball size dough into four equal parts and shape into round smooth balls.
Place four balls together in a greased cupcake mould or Ramekins. I used cupcake aluminium mould.
Shape the remaining dough into four leaf clover rolls and Pour a spoonful of melted butter garlic and coriander mixture on top.
Let the rolls rest for second rise , it may take around 30 minutes .
Bake the four leaf clover bread on a preheated oven at 200*C for 20 minutes.
Let the bread cool and demould.
Four leaf clover bread with the flavour of coriander and garlic is ready to serve.
