Buns are gratifying to make. They are technically less demanding than full loaves, no need for the perfect window pane, and every step is shorten as they can proof and bake faster. Adding fillings make them the perfect snack too. Here are some ways to shape the buns. The main dough is using Champion Toast,…

Cake Decoration with SMBC
Unbelievable, but true. I made this cake over a 4 hour class with 6 other ladies at Bakers Brew Studio. My first time with many things – colouring the cream, frosting the cake, making the flowers (and all that piping)…… so novice was I. I was slowest in finishing many of the task, but the…
Window Pane Test (手套膜）- Killer Toast
Feeling delighted. I have been trying to get this glove membrane since I started making bread again recently and it has always eluded me. It doesn’t help that my Philips mixer is really taking a beating from all the heavy bread mixing. Serendipitously, we came across a Mayer sale selling the white (yes, only white)…
Yummy Homemade Walnut or Almond Nutella
This is an amazingly simple recipe with only 5 ingredients and oh so good. The strong nutty flavour makes you wonder if there’s any ‘nuts’ in Nutella at all. My children gave it their thumbs-up. Recipe ( adapted from Low/ Helen Ho) 100g walnuts or almonds 70g caster sugar 25g varlhona cocoa powder 1/4 tsp…
Champion Toast
Been wanting to try this Wu Pao-Chun champion toast from Aunty Young because it is so simple. A direct method with no need for overnight starters or long proofs. I made it last night and the bread is still soft for this morning’s breakfast. Even then, the yeast content is not too high like those…
Loaf Bread (Poolish starter dough)
Have been trying quite a few recipes like tangzhong, sponge dough, killer toast…. am happy to come across this one using the poolish starter. The dough just feels so right from start to end. Very moist (always good indication when moisture content is high), yet still manageable with lightly floured hands. End result didn’t disappoint…
Baked Cheese Cake
I was trying to use up my bag of frozen shredded cheese, which I normally keep for making pizzas and cheese baked rice. So I used a light cheese cake recipe that used Kraft slice cheese. It turned out soft and fragrant, with a subdue light mozzarella taste. When eating, I topped with icing sugar…
Pandan Chiffon Cake
Another great recipe from Kitchen Tigress, so grateful for her sharing. Some recipes leave you wondering what went wrong, but hers always comes with great explanation, so you can appreciate why you shouldn’t change things. In order to make this pcc, another must read is Dr Leslie Tay’s (ieatishoot) blog post, so much info to…
Hokkaido Milk Bread (Tangzhong)
Love Tangzhong breads, so very soft and after a few practice, the Tangzhong/ roux is not that difficult to make, nor takes a lot more time. This recipe is a milk bread which is good enough to eat on its own but goes well with savoury meats too. Christine’s Recipes gave good step by step…
