Honey Toast (蜂蜜吐司) with Tangzhong/ Water Roux
Lovely aromatic bread, 60g of honey in this recipe, replaces all the sugar needed for sweetness. Loaf is fluffy and tall and smells of honey with every bite. I’ve also added tangzhong (water roux) to the recipe and it has made the bread’s softness last longer. Recipe (Adapted Banyzhao) 80g tangzhong (20g bread flour, 100g water)…
Wholemeal (tangzhong) Loaf
Added tangzhong to a wholemeal loaf and the bread is exceptionally soft. Pulled a lovely window pane too. However, the dough is pretty soft and sticky too, so need to be patient when kneading. Recipe (900g Pullman tin) 160g tangzhong or water roux (using 30g bread flour and 160g water) 400g bread flour 100g wholemeal…
Nigella’s Chocolate Chip Muffin
Very easy and very delicious. Just follow the recipe and don’t omit anything. Just a word of caution, don’t use heavily waxed muffin cups that will cause lopsided muffins. See the picture below, all baked using the same recipe. Muffins on the left are lopsided and flat top too! Another tip is to use double…

Honey Brown Sugar Butter Cake
I seldom get such smooth top cake, and pretty good height for a heavy butter cake. I tweaked the original recipe from Enne Ty by adding honey and other minor adjustments. The original recipe is here. The honey and butter aroma when baking was a heavenly mix. Very yummy. Recipe (6″ round cake tin) 3 egg…
Easy One Proof Buns (Burger and Luncheon Meat)
This is a really easy one proof recipe adapted from Killer toast, and gives tasty, soft and fluffy buns. They remain soft till the next day. You can use it for any filling or shaping, I have used them for mini luncheon meat buns and burger buns here. However, the dough was rather…
Plain White Toast (Softest Ever)
It’s not the first time I’ve tried this recipe, just that results had never been this good. I was taken aback when slicing the bread, so cottony soft and fluffy. I guess the difference this time is that I had gained better appreciation of making bread over time and had really been very careful in…
