Healthy version of stuffed garlic bread

Welcome to Little Chef’s Apron! Today we’ll make something that is very common but is often considered unhealthy. In usual stuffed garlic breads, yeast and all purpose flour is used, but often it’s unhealthiness is overlooked. Flour is not healthy because of its properties of indigestion and yeast is not healthy as it causes mouth sores and aches. In this recipe, I will share with you ideas and tips without flour and yeast.

The dough:

Ingredients :

1 cup wheat flour

2 tbsp sour curd

1/4 cup milk

3/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1.5 tsp salt and mixed herbs

1 tbsp oil

Directions:

. First, mix the dry ingredients together and then add the curd and oil.

. Then make a soft dough by gradually adding the milk.

. Now, set a timer and knead the dough for 10 min. At first the dough may seem sticky but do not add any more flour or milk. The longer you knead the softer it becomes.

. Now, line it with a little oil and cover it with a damp cloth, leave it out for 1 hour to set.

. Then, make a ball out of it by stretching the excess dough at the back. Roll it with a rolling pin into a circular shape.

The stuffing:
