- 3 cups of flour

- Two tablespoons of Oil/margarine

Recipe Instructions:
How to make agege bread:
- In a mixing bowl, mix your dry ingredients: flour, salt, and sugar; make sure to serve before using to avoid lumps.
- In a different bowl, mix the wet ingredients that are your milk, yeast, sugar and lukewarm water and leave for some time until yeast starts to form.
- Make a hole in the middle of the flour mixture and add your milk and yeast mixture. Mix properly. It might become sticky at first, but it becomes firm after kneading for a while.
- Knead the dough well until it becomes elastic. Make sure to add a little bit of flour to the board, so the dough doesn’t stick to the board.
- To know that the dough is well kneaded you should be able to take a piece of it and stretch it to a very thin membrane before it breaks, and the break should form a circle (Windowpane test).
- Knead the dough into a ball and put it in a bowl greased with oil, and cover with a towel. Leave the dough to rise for a while. Make sure to keep it in a warm place to make the dough rise faster.
- Once the dough has risen, remove the towel, punch the dough into a flat surface, and divide it into smaller parts. Cover with cling film and let it rest for ten minutes.
- Shape the dough and place them in a well-greased oil pan. Cover with a towel and let it rise slightly.
- The dough is time to be baked. Preheat your oven to 370F for five minutes. Use egg wash to baste the surface to give it a radiant look. Then bake for 30minutes.
