👩‍🍳 How to Make Suji Bread – Step-by-Step

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine suji, sugar, salt, water, and milk. Mix well until a sticky dough forms.
Let it rest for 30 minutes — this helps the semolina absorb moisture and soften.

Step 2: Knead Like You Mean It

After resting, knead the dough for 10 minutes. This step builds the gluten structure even in suji — essential for a soft, elastic bread.

Now add 2 tablespoons of butter (or any fat you prefer) and knead for another 20 minutes. The dough should feel smooth, bouncy, and no longer sticky.

Step 3: First Proof

Cover the dough and rest it for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size. The yeast magic starts here!

Step 4: The Satisfying Punch

Once proofed, gently punch down the dough. This helps release gas bubbles and relaxes the dough.

You can now fold in mixed seeds or any filling of your choice. Knead again for 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 5: Shape and Second Proof

Shape the dough into a loaf or rolls — your choice!
Grease a loaf pan with butter and place the dough inside. Cover and let it rise again for 30 minutes.

Step 6: Final Touch and Bake

Brush the top with milk (or egg yolk for a golden finish).
Bake in a preheated oven at 180–190°C (356–374°F) for 25 to 30 minutes, depending on your oven.

Let it cool before slicing. Your soft, golden Suji Bread is ready to enjoy!


🌟 Tips for Success

  • Kneading is key — it brings elasticity to semolina-based dough.
  • You can use fine or coarse suji, but soak time may vary slightly.
  • Add seeds, cheese, garlic, or herbs for flavor variations.
  • Want a vegan version? Replace milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.

🍽️ Serving Ideas

  • Toasted with ghee and jaggery
  • Stuffed with scrambled paneer or veggies
  • Turn into masala sandwich or desi French toast
  • Simply serve warm with butter and chai

📌 Storing & Reheating

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days.
