Ingredients

500 gms plain flour (maida)
20 gms fresh yeast
1 tsp oil
1 tsp salt
a little butter for brushing

Method

Sieve the flour. Make a well in centre.
Add the yeast and a little warm water and wait for a few minutes.
Make a dough by adding some warm water. Knead for 7 minutes.
Place the kneaded dough in a bowl and cover with a wet cloth for at least 40 minutes.
Mix the oil and salt together and add to the dough.
Knead very well again for 1 minute.
Divide the dough into three equal sized balls and shape into long rolls.
Put on a well greased baking tray leaving enough margin for expansion. Lightly brush each loaf with cold water.
Leave the tray in a closed cupboard for 1/2 hour or until the loaves are double in bulk. Make slits on the top with scissors.
Bake in a hot oven at 230 degree C (450 degree F) for 10 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 200 degree C (400 degree F) and bake for a further 5 to 10 minutes.
Brush with a little butter and heat in the oven for a few minutes.
