  1. Combine the yeast, sugar and ¼ cup of lukewarm water in a bowl and mix gently. Cover it with a lid and keep aside for 10 minutes.
  2. Combine all the ingredients, including the yeast mixture in a deep bowl, mix well and knead into a soft and loose dough using enough lukewarm water.
  3. Knead the dough again for 5 minutes till smooth and place it in a greased deep bowl.
  4. Cover it with a damp muslin cloth and keep aside in a warm place for 45 minutes.
  5. After the dough has rested for 45 minutes, dust the plain flour over a smooth, flat surface, place the dough over it and knead it well using both your hands.
  6. Stretch the dough with your fingers to make a 250 mm. X 200 mm. (10” x 8”) diameter oval shape.
  7. Roll the dough from one end to the other and to make a 200 mm. (8”) long cylindrical roll like a swiss roll and pinch the edge of the rolls so as to seal it properly.
  8. Place the dough in a greased rectangular aluminium tin of 200 mm. X 25 mm (8" x 3") tin with the pinched edge facing downwards. Cover it with a damp muslin cloth and again keep aside in a warm place for 30 minutes, or till it doubles in size.
