Rice Bread

4 servings

Ingredients

• 1 kg Rice
• Milk (as needed)
• 1 kg Rice flour
• 2 kg Wheat flour
• 100 g Yeast (dissolved)
• Water (as needed)
• Salt (to taste)
• Egg (for brushing) (a little)

Instructions

1. Cook the rice in milk until gelatinous, then mash it.
2. While still warm, add rice flour, wheat flour, dissolved yeast, and enough water to form a smooth dough; salt to taste.
3. Knead the dough well, let it rise, then shape it into long or round loaves as desired.
4. Brush with beaten egg and bake in a well-heated oven.
5. Rice bread should be consumed fresh, as it tends to become brittle otherwise.
