Bread Jamoon

I loved this recipe when I was a kid, esp when I felt the urge to eat soemthing really "not so sweet" , prepared quickly.

Ingredients:
1/2 loaf of bread
1 tbsp cooking oil
1 cup sugar, 1 1/2 cup water, little kesar strands, few pistachios

Preheat oven to 450 F. In a baking tray/cookie sheet, grease lightly with cooking oil or spray. Cut each bread piece diagonallyand remove the skin along the edges. Please hen bread pieces spaced equally, on the baking sheet.

Bake for about 20-25 mins or till when golden brown and hard. You may have to turn the bread pieces half way during the course of baking.

While this is baking, take a deep bottomed pan, add the sugar and water. Allow the mixture to boil and form a fine sugar syrup consistency( just like we do for gulab jamoon). Add kesar strands, before removing the syrup from the stove.

After the bread is baked, set aside for 10 minutes. Now dip the bread in the syrup, and let it stay there for couple of minutes. Then take it out and arrange in a flat dish, decorate with pistachios in the middle.

Wow..that is yummy:-)
