Bhatura recipe with yeast:
In Step 1, Take ¾ cup of lukewarm water, add ½ tsp. yeast with 1 tsp. sugar. Mix well and leave for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes you can see bubbles on the top. Add this mixture into maida along with salt, curd and oil. Knead into a soft and smooth dough. Then follow next steps.Tips:
- Heat the oil properly so that bhatura will not absorb excess oil.
- If the oil is not hot enough, bhatura would not puff up.
- I have used sooji (semolina) here, it helps to get a crispy bhatura. If you want, you can skip this.
- Serve bhatura hot otherwise it becomes chewable.
