Preparation: Step-by-step recipe of Baked Kulcha
Now in a bowl add 400 gm maida, 1 tsp salt, 2 tbsp milk powder, and add activated yeast solution. Start kneading the dough by adding little water at a time. To make our kulcha recipe with yeast in the oven, we need a soft, slightly sticky dough.
Here I have used approximately 300 ml of water. Continue to mix until the dough becomes smooth. Now add 2 tbsp oil and gently mix it into the dough. Take a look at the dough. It appears to be soft, smooth, and stretchable.
As a next step in making our kulcha bread, shape the dough into a ball. Keep it in the bowl covered with cling wrap. Let the dough rest until it doubles in volume.

It takes approximately 35 minutes to double. This proofing time can vary for you depending upon the climatic conditions of your place. So wait until it doubles.
Now Remove the cling wrap and punch the dough to knock out the air. Gently remove it from the bowl and take it out on the counter.
Sprinkle some dry flour on the counter. For the baked kulchas, divide the dough into 6 equal portions. And then roll each portion into a ball.
Place the shaped dough balls on a lined tray and sprinkle some dry flour over them. Cover these with a muslin cloth and let them rest for another 10 minutes.
To give our bread kulchas shape, roll the dough ball into an oval shape with a rolling pin. Sprinkle little water and add chopped coriander and sesame seeds on top of it.
Press it so that it sticks well to the shaped kulcha dough.
Shape the remaining kulcha bread in the same manner and place them on a lined baking tray, leaving some space between them.
Cover the tray lightly with a clean kitchen towel and set aside for 15-20 minutes, or until they have doubled in volume.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200 °Celsius for baking our kulchas.

Let’s Bake the Kulcha Bread
Now bake the kulchas in a preheated oven at 200 °C for 20 minutes. Do not overbake these or they will become hard and dry.
Once baked, take the tray out from the oven and transfer all the baked kulchas on a wire rack. Brush these with butter to soften the crust and to add the glaze to our kulcha bread.
Our baked kulcha recipe with yeast is now ready. Serve with your favourite gravy and enjoy.
These kulchas are absolutely soft, spongy, and stay good for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
