How to make bakery style suji rusk at home
Suji rusk is a great accompaniment with chai. And my crispy suji rusk recipe is definitely a keeper ! it is unbelievably easy to make this suji rusk at home WITHOUT maida. Yes ! it is totally maida free.
Watch the full recipe here –
The first step is to make a bread loaf with suji instead of maida. And then toast its slices to make the crispy suji rusk. Now the key step is to mix the rava or suji with water and let it rest for a long time. This step make the dough elastic, gummy and sticky just like a maida dough.
When you first add water to the suji, you will see that it is difficult to form the dough. The rava granules are not cohesive at all. It will look like a wet sand mixture.
But after resting, this texture completely changes , when suji has the time to soak up the water , it becomes sticky and can be made into a bread dough easily.
This recipe of suji rusk is very versatile. I have added cardamom as a flavouring agent as most packaged suji rusk are cardamom flavoured. But you can make any flavour with this recipe. You can add garlic and pizza seasoning to make herbed suji rusk or methi and jeera to make masala suji rusk. Or any other flavour you can thing of ! there is literally no limitations to it.
