1
Pace the bread flour into a large bowl set the sugar and dry yeast off to one side, and add in the salt and vegetable oil on the opposite side.
-
2
Pour the lukewarm water over the dry yeast.
-
3
Using a rubber spatula at first, scrape the dough that is stuck to the sides of the bowl and drop it back in, and mix until it all clumps together.
-
4
Knead it with the palm side of your wrists.
-
5
If you do this for 10 minutes, then it will become about as soft as an earlobe, and knead up smoothly.
-
6
Place the dough into a bowl lightly coated in vegetable oil, set it into a another bowl full of hot water slightly hotter than bath water, and cover with plastic wrap.
-
7
Let sit for 25 minutes for the first rising.
-
8
(You can also use the proofing function on your oven).
-
9
Saute all of the ingredients in a Teflon frying pan without using oil.
-
10
Place the curry roux on top once it has cooked through, close the lid, turn off the heat, and dissolve the roux in the residual heat.
-
11
If the water cools a bit lower than bath water, then add hot water to keep the temperature up.
-
12
The first rising will be done in about 25 minutes when it has about doubled in size.
-
13
Stick your finger into the dough, and it's ok as long as the hole doesn't close (finger check).
-
14
You can if course do this in the bread maker as well.
-
15
Take it out of the bowl, release the gas, and roll up into 8 equal portions.
-
16
At this point, making them light will make them the same uniform size.
-
17
I had 360g, so I divided into 8 45g portions.
-
18
Thinly spread it out into a 10cm diameter circle with a rolling pin, and pack in the ingredients from Step 5, one tablespoons at a time.
-
19
Fold it in half like gyoza dumplings, and tightly close the overlap.
-
20
Coat the dough in milk and then panko in that order.
-
21
Prepare the oil by heating it up.
-
22
At this point, use new oil as oxidized oil is bad for your health.
-
23
Fill the bottom of a frying pan with about 2 cm oil, heat up to 180C, and fry up crispy while flipping it back and forth until the outside is crispy.
-
24
It will plump up, so fry 4 at a time.
-
25
Scoop out any stray bread crumbs that fell into the oil and the 2nd set of bread will turn out nicely.
-
26
The crispy,fluffy and delicious curry bread is done.
