Roti Sobek

Ingredients

  • 5 - 6 cups bread flour
  • 1 1/2 tbsp active dry yeast
  • 2 cups lukewarm water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 8 tbsp sugar
  • Raisins sugar, and chocolate rice (chocolate rice is optional, but you can find, get Ritz brand, from Holland)
  • Food coloring

Instructions

  • Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water, let stand until foamy.
  • Meanwhile in a separate bowl, mix sugar and bread flour well. When water mixture already foamy, mix in salt and oil, mix well.
  • Mix in flour one cup at a time. Knead dough on a floured surface.
  • Place in an oil greased bowl, turn dough to coat. Cover with damp towel, place in a warm place for an hour or until doubled in size.
  • Punch down dough, knead a bit and divide dough into 6 equal size balls, cover and let rise
  • Add green food color to a ball, knead lightly just until it colors the dough (no need until it turns completely green, just slightly/unevenly - see picture), flatten with rolling pin and sprinkle with raisins, sugar, and chocolate rice. Roll to a log and slice (as you would when you make cinnamon rolls).
  • Repeat this step with other color. Place each slices randomly so they would create mixing color once baked and pulled away. Leave some space for rising.
  • Cover the pan and let it rise and bake at 350 F for 30 minutes
