Monalisa bread is delicious when baked properly.  It’s a mixture of third class flour and first class flour. It can also be taken with a cup of coffe or a bottle of softdrink or a cup of juice.  Here, I will show you how to make a monalisa bread.  We need the following ingredients:

800 grams    first class flour

200 grams    third class flour

180 grams    white sugar

10 grams      instant yeast

a pinch of  egg yellow food color

100 grams   egg( approximately 2 pcs)

Procedure

1. In a mixing bowl, sift three(3) times  the first class flour, third class flour, powdered milk, bread improver instant yeast. Sifting allows air to be incorporated in the dough mixture, making it softer.

2. In a separate bowl, pour water, add iodized salt, egg yellow food color, white sugar and vegetable shortening and margarine.Be sure the iodized salt and sugar are properly dissolved.

3. In the flour mixture, make a well in the center and pour the  water mixture. With your hands properly washed,mix properly  the dough mixture.

5. Allow the dough to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.

6. Form into a long log and divide into 40 grams or depending on the size you want. Round each dough with the palm of your hand and make a slit on top of the dough and put in baking tray (greased with vegetable shortening).

7. If the dough has doubled in size or you can check by poking your finger on the dough. If it leaves a dent, then it is now ready to be baked.

8. Preheat oven to 250 to 300 degrees fahrenheit.  Your oven should have the thermometer so you can monitor the temperature.

9. Once this temperature is reached, put the dough inside the oven.  Open the oven door after 10 minutes to check if dough turns golden brown.  Do not attempt to open oven door 5 minutes after or your dough might collapse.
