Converted yet another favourite yeasted recipe to a sourdough one, having fun doing this. There’s a renewed sense of energy in my baking journey. This is a popular Taiwanese recipe, I use the yeasted version all the time for all sorts of buns, sandwich loaf application. It is very tasty and fragrant. Yeasted version here….

Sourdough Sweet Milk Bun
After a long spell of playing with all inclusions and flavours for my traditional sourdoughs, I thought it was high time to try soft enriched loafs which my little girl favours. What better recipe to start with than her favourite sweet milk buns, the yeasted version is highly popular on this blog and can be…
Red Wine Sourdough
A beautiful, delicious loaf that gave an awesome spring in the oven. Red wine does interfere with fermentation, so I have increased levain percentage and then compensated with reduced hydration. Red wine also lends depth in flavour and goes really well with sourdough. Recipe 300g flours ( I used 130g malted flour, 170g Japanese bread…
You Tiao (You Za Kueh/ Chinese donut)
This is a really simple recipe with short ingredient list and simple steps. I used both yeast and baking powder to avoid using large amounts of baking powder like other recipes which may lead to an aftertaste. Also double insurance in case one of them isn’t working 😅. You may also notice that my youtiaos…
Danish Loaf
A delicious loaf, with 36 layers of flaky, buttery goodness created from 3 folds (3 * 4 * 3 layers). I consider this a rather advanced recipe which requires some experience in bread making. Best if you can operate in air conditioned room or at least on a cool day or at night. You also…
Tomato Multigrain Bread
Pretty, aromatic and very very soft bread. Remains soft the next day and gobbled up by the family thereafter. It’s a very sticky dough, so dusting flour on hands and surfaces is a must. Recipe 150g tomato puree 1 egg (50g without shell) 20g sugar 1 tsp yeast 120g bread flour 140g multigrain or wholemeal…
Mexican Roti Boy
This smells absolutely gorgeous when baking, best eaten when freshly baked. I’m glad I tried and it’s not that difficult at all. The topping may turn soft in half a day, just toast lightly and it will crisp up again. Method (makes 10 buns) 1 Dough from Tearing Toast (Sponge dough) (流泪吐士/中种法） Topping 60g salted…
Best Brioche
I enjoyed eating this so much, no regrets spending 2 days on it. It tasted like butter flavour cotton candy, better than most I’ve had outside. But it’s really not easy, not only because of the constant challenge of melting butter but also the high hydration that already requires longer kneading time. Suggest that you…
Scallion Pancake （葱油饼）
These are almost exactly like coin prata. You’ll feel totally like the prata man or woman when attempting the recipe, except for the flipping and tossing, that is. Taste wise, it’s crispy on the outside and chewy and fluffy inside. Thumbs up! Recipe (makes 8 small ones) 200g plain flour 3/4 tsp salt 120g warm…
