The name Double Ka Meetha comes from the local dialect word "Double Roti" which refers to milk bread or western style bread, the reason it is called double roti is it swells up to almost double its original size after baking. I remember my great grandmother (my father's grandmother), for whom bread was quite an alien ingredient in the kitchen, use to detest it like anything and was totally against we kids eating it, as she use to believe that double roti will expand in our tiny stomachs leading to stomach ache and other problems. From her and many other people from her generation I learnt this word "Double Roti" which as per their stories British introduced in India.

Directions

  1. Soak saffron strands in 2 tbsp milk and rose water. Stir nicely and set aside.
  2. Boil sugar in water along with cardamom to make sugar syrup. Once thickened keep aside until required.
  3. Remove the edges of the bread and cut into diagonal halves. Grill in the oven until crisp. Instead of grilling bread slices can be shallow fried in the ghee as well.
  4. Meanwhile bread is roasting in the oven boil milk and cream together over low flame and reduce the consistency to almost half or until it is thickened.
  5. Brush the baking tray with ghee. Arrange the bread slices in the tray and pour over milk, sugar syrup and soaked saffron.
  6. Sprinkle slivered almonds, pistachios and raisins on top.
  7. Allow the bread to soak in the liquids while preheat the oven at 180 degree celcius.
  8. Cover the baking tray with aluminum foil.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or till the liquids almost dry up.
  10. Serve hot.
