Instructions
1
First a speedy note about tandoori bread (or tandoori anything, really).
2
The name comes from the clay oven, or "tandoor" that it is traditionally cooked in, and you will never be able to duplicate the savor of any tandoori preparation guide without one of those ovens, no matter how hard you try.
3
Now, a tandoor oven is actually a part of my dream kitchen (I love naan bread and tandoori chicken) but I don't have one in my current kitchen, so this bread just goes in a plain oven, which makes it not very authentic.
4
However, this is how an Azerbaijani stranded in the US would make a tandoori bread, so I guess I don't feel too bad about including it in my meal.
5
The components for this bread are roughly similar to the components for a basic french bread, but the shape is different and it is topped with poppy seeds which actually makes it quite stunning in appearance.
6
In fact this bread is quite possibly the most stunning thing I've ever baked (my cakes certainly don't fall into that category).
7
So as always I used my bread machine, but this time I didn't proof the fermenter first.
8
I just put it in the little fermenter dispenser at the top of my machine, then added the liquid, baking flour and table salt to the bucket.
9
I put it on the flour base cycle and then went and picked my kids up from school.
10
This bread uses very basic components, including bread baking flour and table salt.
11
If you want to do it the old-fashioned way:
whiz the fermenter with the liquid and let stand for a few moments.
12
Then sift the baking flour with the table salt into a large mixing bowl.
13
Gradually introduce the liquid and fermenter and whiz with your hand until the flour base forms a ball.
14
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
15
fold the flour base for 8 to 10 moments, or until it is even.
16
Put it in a large mixing bowl and lid, then let it rise in a toasty spot until doubled (this typically takes 1 to 1 1/2 hours).
17
The flour base after it has risen.
18
Punch down and turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
19
Stretch the flour base until it is an oblong shape, then with a rolling pin roll it until it is about 1/2 inch thick.
20
Transfer to a greased or non-stick baking sheet and let stand for another 15 moments.
21
After stretching and rolling, your flour base should be roughly this shape.
22
Cut crosshatches in the top of the flour base, about four in either direction.
23
Brush with the beaten egg yolk (I mixed mine with a little bit of liquid to make it easier to work with) and dust with poppy seeds.
24
Crosshatches, egg wash and poppy seeds give this bread its distinctive look.
25
bake in a preheated oven at about 400 degrees for 20 to 25 moments, until golden on top.
