Garlic Rolls (without Egg)

• Plain Flour- 3 cups
• Warm Water- 1 cup*
• Yeast- 1tbps #
• Salt - 1tsp
• Sugar- 2 tbps

Garlic- 3 grated
Coriander leaves - 2 tbps (chopped)

Bring butter to room temperature.
Mix everything together. 
Can be stored in the chill tray for upto one week.

Method:

• Mix everything together except oil with warm water and knead  until you get a smooth dough.
• Add oil and knead until the dough springs back when you press with your finger.
• Apply oil and allow to rise for 40-45 minutes. By this time it will be double its initial size.
• Make the garic spread.
• Knock down the air in the dough and divide the dough into two equal portions.
• Grease a baking pan or loaf tin with butter.
• Roll the dough using a rolling pin. Apply flour to prevent sticking.
• The rolled out dough must be at least half inch thick.
• Try to make it more like a rectangle. Apply one tablespoon of the garlic spread on it.
• Roll it and cut it into two equal parts and further cut the two parts into two, so that you get 4 equal rolls.
• Now place the rolls with the cut side up in the greased pan.
• Repeat the same procedure for the remaining dough.
• Apply the balance garlic spread on top and apply milk or egg wash which ever you prefer.
• Sprinkle sesame seeds (optional)
• Allow to proof for another 20 minutes.
• In the mean time preheat the oven to 180 degree C.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes until the house is filled with the aroma of roasted garlic and bread..
• Take a bite into this lovely soft and flavourful rolls. You will surely fall in love with it.

* The quantity of water depends on the brand of flour used. I sometimes use less than a cup, sometimes more than a cup for the same 3 cups of flour.

# I add 1 tablespoon yeast for a quick rise. You can reduce the quantity of yeast(say 1tsp) and let it rise slowly too.

After lunch we had to hurry back because we intended to stop over at Tesco Lotus,Satun n the border closes at 6pm.There were numerous mosques here ..n the newly past Ramadhan mood was still in the air eventhough it is not Syawal..

Mr hubby had to leave his ic to get my wheelies here too.We did pass by Tesco extra about the size of our 7e but very packed with goods.i loved the sight of the powerlines there ummmmmmmm i wonder why?

journey down the winding road of Wang  Kelian
we reached home almost 7nish tired but really happyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Raya 2012 - Pat Bara,Thailand

Okay..... 22nd August 2012 a very hectic day indeed. We had to wait for the Kedai Gambaq to open to make our border passes then proceed to the immigration office and the money changer by 12 noon we proceeded to Kangar to get our car insurance. At around 12.40pm we were on our way to ...Pak Bara Pier.

   

It was quiet an adventurous journey for we were heading into an unknown unfamiliar location praying for a save journey and also a correct route to the supposed location

.

My dad n hubby did all the necessary stamping,declaring at the border town of Wang Kelian before proceeding to Pak Bara. The journey was a real adventure for we only had really little knowledge of the place we were headed for from a friend who had gone there only once.the guide that he gave us after the hills of Wang Kelian turn left then you continue your journey until you see Tesco Lotus on your  right go straight at the following junction immediately after Tesco take a right (Luckily my dad saw the Pak Bara Pier sign lol) then go straight until you find another junction (which was agessssssssssssss) and turn left to the pier (another 10-15 mins i guess)

Praying really hard that we would arrive safely and at our intended destination.

Midway to the destination it rained .......

Hello Pat Bara Pier

This were somesort like the dataran found in most seaside attractions found in Malaysia. 

Since it was lunch time it was proper that we had lunch by the beach for any muslim traveller i think i wouldn't be a bother to find halal because most of the stalls/restaurant  operators were muslims by the way they dress the hijabs n the displays of Quranic verses on the walls.

Fasai Seafood Restaurant

crunchy dip prawns

fish tom yum

Owh......i forgot to mention during the journey there i felt secure in the sense that after a few kilometers you could sense mosques of all designs.We stopped at this one for our Jama prayers of Zohor n Asar.
