Steps

50 minutes

1

In a bowl, take 1 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon spoon, 1 table spoon soyabean oil, mix it well using hands so that the oil is mixed properly with the flour. Now slowly add water to it & make a soft dough of it. Once the dough is ready, cover it with a thin wet cloth/kitchen paper for half an hour.
2

In another bowl, take half cup of soyabean oil, 1/4th cup of melted butter & mix it well. Now after half an hour, take dough in a large, clean area/counter, apply the oil mixture in the area, start expanding the dough like a flat bread using roller. Stop rolling when it has become transparent & thin. Now apply the oil mixture all over the rolled bread & sprinkle flour in it.
3

Again add the oil mixture & sprinkle flour, this process will be repeated twice & fold the bread, this will take a semi circle shape.
4

Again apply the oil mixture & flour twice in the semi circle. In each & every fold & layer, apply the oil mixture & flour twice & fold the semi circle as shown in the picture below. Now gently roll it.
5

Cut this roll into 4-5 pieces, stick the sides using finger tips if the layers come out ensuring there are no open ends. Take each piece, roll it gently as the Bakarkhani shown below & give cuts on the centre using knife. You can give the center cut design as you desire.
6

Preheat oven for 10 minutes at 180℃ & then bake it for 30 minutes at 180℃.
7

Ensure that it has turned golden brown on both sides & your Bakarkhani is ready to serve! Serve it with warm tea or enjoy it as it is!
