Hi Rajani. I am not sure what you mean when you say "plain" Indian Bread--sorry. Here are a few (tried) recipes previously posted on Recipe Link. Are any of these close???? There are more if you search Recipe Link for "Indian Bread". Kel

Chart House Indian Bread (2 pound loaf)
Posted by: Princes in Washington on Wednesday

1 1/2 cups water
1 tbsp molasses
2 2/3 cups bread flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup wheat bran
1/4 cup 10 grain cereal (I used 9 grain cereal)
2 tbsp steel cut oats
2 tbsp rye flakes
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tsp salt
2 tsp powdered caramel coloring (King Arthur)
1/2 tsp diastatic malt powder (King Arthur)
1 tbsp vital wheat gluten
2 to 3 tsp yeast

Place in bread machine in order recommended by
the manufacturer. I use my machine to make dough
and bake it in the oven because you get a much
better crust. To get a shiny crust I make a wash of malt syrup (honey would work just as well) and
water to brush on just before baking. A dough
enhancer with diastatic malt powder and vital wheat gluten can be substituted for them.
