Artisan Bread

Artisan bread is bread that is crafted, rather than mass produced. It will have little more than the basic ingredients of flour, water, yeast, oil, milk and salt unlike preservative-laden commercial breads. Some varieties may have eggs and /or sugar.


Ingredients:
Plain flour or maida- 250 gms
Oil- 4 tbsp
Salt- 1 tsp
Active dry yeast-1 tsp (double if fresh yeast)
Sugar- 3 tsp
Water- 50 ml
Milk- 50 ml
Method:
Warm milk and water together. Take care not to heat too much; or the heat will kill the yeast. Add sugar and yeast. Cover and keep aside in a warm place for 15 minutes. Once yeast is fully dissolved and frothy, it is ready.
Take flour and salt in a large bowl and mix well. Make a well in the centre and add a tbsp of oil. Add the yeast mixture and knead well into a soft dough. Knead for about 10 minutes until it is not sticky. Place the dough in a large greased bowl, cover and keep aside for 2 hours.
Apply 1 tbsp oil and punch the dough for about 5 minutes.
Grease the baking sheet or bread tin well. Shape the dough in desired shapes using the remaining oil. Let it rest covered for an hour. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees C for 10-15 minutes or till golden. A couple of minutes prior to removing, brush the top with a little milk.

Grated cheese- 30- 40 ml
Method:
Take half a cup of lukewarm water (NOT hot water) and add the sugar and yeast. Keep it closed for about 10 minutes in a warm place. the mixture will froth up which indicates that the yeast is active.

Add 2 tbsp olive oil and knead the dough well for about 10- 12 minutes. Place the dough in a oiled pan, cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Dust the kitchen top with flour and roll out the dough into a large rectangle of half an inch thickness. Spread 2 tbsp olive oil on the surface, sprinkle the chilli flakes and grated cheese evenly over the entire surface. Lightly roll the roller so that the flakes and cheese are embedded in the dough. Roll the dough into a log shape. With a sharp knife, cut the log into one inch thick rounds and place on a greased baking tray with space in between. Let the rolls rest in a warm place for 10 minutes. The volume will double. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees C for about 30 minutes.

Kanakadhara Sthothram

Kanakadhara Sthavam:
Adi Shankara as a Brahmachari, before he took up Sanyasa, used to seek Bhiksha daily in accordance with his Asrama Dharma. One Dwadasi day, he went for Bhiksha to a poor Brahmin’s house. That Brahmin himself was living by unchavriddhi (is an act of collecting grains left out in the threshing field) and had gone out to collect grains.
When Shankara came for Bhiksha, the lady of the house was alone and had nothing to offer. However, she had one single gooseberry which was kept as an essential item for dwadasi paranai. (on dwadasi , the day next to ekadasi -day of fasting) people eat gooseberry as a custom) She thought that while she was not able to offer Bhiksha to the Brahmachari, she should atleast give him the gooseberry fruit and so gave it to Shankara.
Shankara understood the lady’s good intention and inability to give grains for Bhiksha. He was moved by the gesture and so prayed to goddess Mahalakshmi to give the family prosperity and composed Kanakadhara Sthavam. An ashareeri was heard to say that the Brahmin couple is suffering from poverty on account of their actions in their previous births and that it cannot change. Shankara, however represented to the divine stating that in this birth, they have parted with the only edible item of gooseberry in their house and by that action alone, they have earned immeasurable punya which nullifies all the papas of their previous births. He then prayed to the Goddess Lakshmi again to give them prosperity. Immediately, thereafter commenced a shower of golden gooseberries in their house.

‘Kanaka’ means gold and ‘dhara’ means shower. Since the sloka caused a shower of gold, it is called Kanakadhara Stotram.
