Subway's honey oat sub


I have always been a Subway fan and have been wanting to try making some of their breads. Since honey oat is the family favorite, I decided to try this one first. The sub recipe is made of 3 parts - the bread, the stuff, the dressing. You can choose the parts you like and replace the others with any other recipes you have - it's subway after all - the choice is yours.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The bread:

For the bread you will need - 

4 tbsp olive oil
410 ml of lukewarm water (may need to be adjusted based on the protein content of your flours. some flours need more water. remember the dough should not be too stiff)
100 g of oats (made into a flour. i used whole oats) 250 g of wheat flour
300 g of All purpose flour 6 g active dry yeast 60g of honey 1 tsp of salt A pinch of freshly milled pepper

For brushing on the top you will need -
2 tbsp of water 1 tbsp of honey 2 tbsp of oats for sprinkling

Recipe:
Mix all the bread ingredients. Knead for a good 5-7 minutes. Make a smooth ball. Keep in a greased bowl and cover for an hour or till it rises to double. Remove on a floured working surface and cut into 4 (With these proportions you can make 4 long slender or 3 long fatter subs. In hind sight I should have made 3 so i get a wider base to fill my stuff). Roll into baguette shapes and place on a floured baguette tray (If you do not have a baguette tray, do not worry. Before I had one, I would make compartments using aluminum foil and place my baguettes in it). Cover with a towel and let it rest for 15 mins. Preheat the oven to 180C. Brush the top of the subs with honey-water mixture and spread the oats on tops, gently tapping them so they stick to the surface. Score the top with a blade. Bake in oven at 180C for 20-25 mins with heat from top and bottom on. Once removed from the oven, cover with a towel for 10 mins. They smell divine so waiting for an hour before you cut the breads will be the hardest part of the recipe.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The dressings:
Honey mustard dressing -
Mayo 1/4 cup
Mustard 1/8 cup
Honey 1/8 cup (or more if you want it sweeter)
Vinegar 1 tsp (i used balsamic)
salt 1/2 tsp
paprika or red chill powder (1/2 tsp)
olive oil 1 tsp

Whisk them all together till it forms a smooth sauce.

Mayo dressing -
Mayo 1/4 cup
Milk 1/8 cup
dried basil 1/2 tsp
salt 1/4 tsp
Whisk them all together till it forms a smooth sauce.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The stuff:
Now here you can choose what you want. I added the following -
Ameircan cheese slice (toast the bread in the oven with the cheese on one side, if you like the cheese melted)
Iceberg lettuce
grilled chicken
onion sliced circular then cut in half
capsicum sliced long thin
sliced black olives
slices pickled jalapenos
salt n pepper

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's how easy it is. Preferably make the bread in the morning and the rest of the stuff in the evening so it isn't too much work at once and the bread also gets time to cool down.

Enjoy your fresh subs!

Malai sandwich

There are some sweets that look very royal, very fancy; yet when you start making them, you realize how easy they are to make. Malai sandwich is one such. Time and patience, are however, essential here. Malai sandwich is not quick to make, but that's only because it involves a lot of sitting time. Ideally the rasgullas should be made a day in advance so that they have soaked in the syrup and have become sufficiently sweet. Making the malai sandwich is a three step process - 1. making the paneer 2. making the rasgullas 3. making the sandwich The problem in my house is that my kids will want a bite or more after every single step. So by the end of the second step half of it is gone already. In fact there have been times when we have never reached the malai sandwich stage ;)  When you do though, it's worth the wait! So let's get started. Ingredients: For the rasgullas: 2 litre milk (I generally use 1 ltr full cream milk and 1 ltr low fat; all low fat is ok

Hummus

Hummus is a Levantine (eastern Mediterranean) dip that's made from chickpeas. After some not so successful attempts, I had almost given up on making it at home (something was always more or less or wrong). But recently while hogging on some awesome food at the Dubai Food Festival (#eattheworlddxb), I had a chance to attend a show by celebrity chef Suzzane Hussaini. With her hummus recipe and tips, I embarked on the journey to make the perfect Hummus again. And voila! You can get a hummus recipe anywhere online. But I am posting one here for reference. The Tips at the end of this post are what make all the difference. Ingredients: 1/2 cup chickpeas 1/2 tsp soda 2 tsp store-brought tahini paste (or 1/4 cup sesame seeds, 1/8 cup olive oil) 2 small cloves of garlic 2 tsp lemon juice or as per taste salt olive oil. Recipe for the tahini paste: 1. Light roast the sesame seeds. Do not over roast or make too dark. 2. Put the roasted seeds and olive oil in a blender and
