Description:
Baps are the traditional Scottish little flat bread which mostly served for breakfast, in other parts of England it is also known as breakfast bread.
Baps’ shapes and sizes, as well as the crumb, vary from baker to baker in Scotland.

Baps are wonderful filled with grilled rashers of bacon and a fried egg and then wrapped in foil or greaseproof paper, ready for an open-air breakfast. Baps should be eaten warm on the day they are baked or frozen for one month.

This is my entry for Bread Baking Day # 7, hosted by Chili und Ciabatta



Usually this bread has dimple on top of it, but I had made mine with cross, just trying to be different :-)


Ingredients:
7 g dry active yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
435 gr high protein flour (flour for bread)
1 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
45 gr butter or lard
1 tablespoon flour , for dusting

I also add in 2 egg yolks, it is not in the recipe.

Directions:
Lightly dust two cooking sheets and set aside.
In a small or medium bowl combine the yeast, sugar and 2 T flour.
Gradually blend in the warm milk until smooth.
Cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 10 minutes or until foamy.
Sift together the remaining flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well.
Mix to a soft dough.
Turn out onto a lightly floured board and kneed for 5-10 minutes.
Shape into a ball, place in a large, oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
Place in a warm place and let rise for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 200 C degrees.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead again for 2 minutes.
Divide into 12 pieces (about 73 gr each, but you can divide them as much as you like).
Roll each piece into a flat oval, around 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
When all baps are rolled out cover and let rise for 15 minutes.
Make an indent in center of each oval with your finger.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until well browned and cooked through.
Cool slightly and serve or save for sandwich rolls.

Remember, this bread is best served fresh :-)
