Goan Poee (Without Oven) | Goan Flat-Bread

The Goan Poee. Finally. I tried ‘baking’ these on a gas stove, as well as in the oven, and I'm more than happy to show you how! Traditional Goan Poee requires toddy to bring about magic (as is also seen in true Goan Sannas), but here we're relying on more available means. Nevertheless, this recipe can still bring back your evergreen memories of the Poder carrying fresh bread in his basket with the aroma of the same, dancing on the breeze into your home.
Breads need a lot of love, I have come to understand. No wonder baking bread is a separate culinary art form. It requires affection to flow from your heart through the channel of your arms and into the dough. Science may say it's the Yeast that makes it rise, but really, it's You. So, let that Love flow in all you do- Mog Asum ❤️
1 US Cup = 240 ml
Ingredients:
1/4 Cup or 60 ml lukewarm Water
1 teaspoon Sugar (granulated)
1 & 1/2 teaspoon Active Dry Yeast
1 Cup or 120 grams All-Purpose Flour (Maida)
1/2 Cup or 60 grams Whole Wheat Flour
1 teaspoon Salt
Additional 1/2 Cup or 120 ml Water (add only as required)
1 Tablespoon Oil
Wheat Bran, as required
If you're using a gas stove:
Heat the pan well, and keep the flame high at all times. It is this high heat that helps the Poee transform.
If you're baking them in the oven:
Preheat the oven at 250°C for 10 minutes.
Bake the Poee for 6-7 minutes on the middle rack.

Second comment : Just made it.. and it came out very well.. served it with missal. I did not had wheat barn, so dusted more of wheat flour while rolling. Wish I could share photo somewhere to show you Florency... ! I will now make it atleast once a week.. it's quick, easy, wholesome, lightweight and much much better than commercial breads ... Only 7 ingredients.. total time 1.5 hour including 1 hour of fermentation.. Thanks again for posting this.. let me know where to share the image..

[@FlorencyDias]

Wow wow wow! It must have paired so well with missal😋 I like your idea of using regular wheat flour in place of wheat bran- many folks have asked for a substitute for bran, so it's good to know that there's a tried and tested way of doing this without bran. I'm pinning your comment so that it would be more visible for viewers, to know to not be dismayed if they can't get their hands on this one ingredient :) My email ID is [e-mail] Would be pleased to see your creation😁 And thank you so much for such enthusiasm 💕 I can so feel the good vibes you send😁

[@nilimadegweker]

Can use fine suji alsi in place of wheat bran.

Hello Dean! And thank you so much😄 Your words have brought me my own share of memories of growing up on bhakri- plain, stuffed with some meat, or using it to compliment a curry! All of it is still alive! If you are able to recreate even a slight hint of the past joys, that you have described, with this recipe, I'll consider this video a huge success and a job well done. A contribution to my Goan community ❤️

[@priyankadsa3488]

This is much flavorful than pita bread

[@FlorencyDias]

Hello, @Cooked with Love! They do share a resemblance, true, and I'll also agree with Priyanka, where she says our Goan Poee is much more flavourful than Pita😁 Poee is traditionally on the thicker side, and baked in wood-fire ovens and that contributes to their flavor. It's great to see your enthusiasm! Are you Goan?

[@saviofonseca4587]

Lovely and does not seem difficult. Will surely try. Can we use only wheat flour in place of maida?

[@FlorencyDias]

Hello Savio, and thank you so much for the kind words😄 Using only wheat flour for breads (any bread) can be tricky since it needs a good understanding of how the ingredients come together. Not that it's not possible, but it will be a challenge for those who don't have much experience with bread-baking (I personally don't, but am learning). So, in such cases, a blend of maida and whole wheat flour is an easier route to take. But, since you are interested, I will link a wholesome lesson I came across on the web while studying about the use of whole wheat flour for loafs: www.abreaducation.com/content/baking-bread-with-whole-wheat-flour In the future, should I ever try a complete whole wheat Poee, I'll be sure to upload it. In the meantime, if you feel inclined, maybe you could try and share the results ✨ I haven't directly answered your query, but I hope you find the article helpful 💫

[@saviofonseca4587]

Thanks so much Florency for taking the time and patience to reply. God bless you. Will surely go thru the article. Pray you find success in making a wholewheat poee and upload as I have stomach issues with maida.

Reply please

[@rubyp8540]

I too want to know its alternative. Pls reply

[@FlorencyDias]

Hello Lali, I hope you're doing well❤️ and thanks for your query (also simultaneously replying to and thanking Dionysia and Rubina). Wheat bran is available in supermarkets and also online (I use a brand called Bagrry's) However, if not accessible, it's completely alright to skip it. Just use whole wheat for rolling out the Poee. It's only the feel of the bread that will differ, but the taste and the inner texture of the bread will not be affected 😊 Hope this helps 💫

[@FlorencyDias]

The yeast I use is the most commonly available to me where I reside. It's Active Dry Yeast by Blue Bird. I highly recommend freezing whatever is left after opening the packet. It remains more fit for use (as in remains alive, and hence, gives better results) for longer than if kept at room temperature. Hope this helps, and thanks for the query!💫

Do you have a healthier non maida recipe for this?

[@luckyfilms7306]

Made it for Second time : The gas cylinder went out... I got stuck in the middle.. Switched to oven, preheated and placed the poee... It roasted much better than on tava, but the pocket wasn't formed.. was a bit disappointed.. I beleive for electric oven, need to keep the ratio of madia a bit higher than whole wheat. Both first time and this time I kept the ratio of Whole wheat to Maida 45% & 55 %. The dough rised pretty well both the time during proofing.
