Bread has become an integral part of the daily diet and is easily available in stores. However, it is possible to bake healthier and cleaner bread at home than what is sold in retail stores. This article presents a recipe for making healthy ragi flour bread, which is very simple to prepare.
Benefits of Ragi Flour
Finger millet (ragi) is rich in fiber and many essential nutrients. A special advantage of this bread is the complete absence of wheat flour, making it an excellent choice for people following a healthy diet.
Ingredients for Preparation
To make this bread, you will need the following ingredients: 1½ cups of ragi flour, 3 tablespoons of psyllium, 1½ teaspoons of active dry yeast, ½ teaspoon of salt, 2 teaspoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of oil, and 2 cups of warm water. Additionally, milk can be used for brushing on top, along with white sesame seeds and oil for application after baking.
Storing the Finished Bread
The finished ragi bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for two to three days. If longer storage is required, it can be placed in the refrigerator for up to one week or frozen for two months.
