Indian Sweet Bread makes a super tempting, easy-to-make dessert for any time when you crave something sweet. Or when you want a sweet breakfast, or a sweet snack. It is a beloved after-meal treat or a tea-time snack in many Indian households, especially Rajasthani families where I come from.

Ingredients
This recipe needs only three basic ingredients. _These ingredients are: _
-
Bread: You can choose any bread or bun of your choice.
-
Ghee: It is the star ingredient of this recipe. Homemade ghee works the best, but you can also use store-bought ghee. Just make sure it is of high quality, as it is one ingredient that gives this sweet bread aromatic richness. The quality of ghee can make or break the taste.
-
Sugar: Traditionally, bura (Indian-style granulated sugar) is used to make this recipe. But you can try making it with any granulated sugar. I have also tried it with raw brown sugar, muscovado sugar, and jaggery powder. It tastes good with all of these sweeteners.
