Shirmal

Shirmal

To cook the homemade Shirmal bread, you need to mix all the ingredients and knead the dough well. It requires one hour to rest. After resting the dough, you should roll them up on a baking sheet and prick the rolled dough with a fork. After brushing their top with soaked saffron, put the trays in the preheated oven and bake them for15 minutes. When their color changes to golden yellow, you can bring them out of the oven. Now you can brush their top with melted butter and serve them.

Notes

Uniqop's advice

  • If you serve Sheermal bread warm, it would be more pleasant.
  • You can use ready ghee that is available in every supermarket. But you should be sure about its quality.
  • If you like it less sweet, you can reduce the amount of sugar and increase the amount of salt.
