‘Light’ Red Velvet Cake

A birthday cake for me! You will see from the recipe this a light version of the red velvet. There isn’t a large amount of red colouring and sugar. I even read recipes that use up 2 BOTTLES of bake king red for a single cake, there’s only 1 tsp here of Wilton red gel…

Crusty Country Wholemeal Rolls

I made these for my parents. They have 0g sugar and only 2g olive oil. But they don’t lose out in flavour at all, the long starter fermentation gives it depth and the crusty and soft chewy bite makes it great for eating on its own or dipping in sauces. Before you start, note that…

Yoghurt Honey Wholemeal or White Bread

Tried a recipe with Yoghurt and honey from Princess Linda, made into this Wholemeal loaf almost 1kg dough. Super tall and fluffy and good to eat on its own. Below pictures are half recipes done in the 450g tin. Happy to find this staple recipe as I make the whole family’s bread, and this won’t last…

Giraffe Bread (tangzhong)

Very cute bread to make. I used varlhona cocoa powder to get the dark brown and lovely aroma. This recipe also uses tangzhong to increase softness and I have made it such that the whole tin can be filled up. You can choose to cover the tin, or not. Recipe (Adapted from here) 80g tangzhong (16g…

Bagels

Yummy bagels, crusty chewy exterior, soft spongy interior. Slightly savory and goes very well with cream cheese. I must be getting old to like chewy, savoury breads now. Adapted from Stephanie Wong’s recipe, thanks for sharing! The ingredients list looks simple, but the most challenging was the boiling with water. One of my bagels was…

Plain White Loaf (tangzhong or water roux)

This recipe is shared by Rin and from Pretty Kitchen. Originally for Bacon sandwich, I have adapted it for a plain white loaf. The loaf is fluffy and tall. By using tangzhong, the loaf remains soft for 3 days. Recipe 80g tangzhong or water roux (using 16g bread flour and 80g water) 250g bread flour…

Crown Chocolate Chiffon

Hope you can see that this cake is shaped like a crown. It uses the Controlled Cracking for Chiffon technique which you can read more from the link. When done properly, the crown blooms nicely, the interior texture is fluffy and soft and there is no concave bottom. After much experimentation, the different top and…

Sweet Potato (Wholemeal) Rolls

I adore this recipe, the sweet aroma when baking was indescribable. Showing both the plain and wholemeal ones here and they are both delish. I hope it’s healthy too. I used these sweet potatoes and I think they really lent beautiful colour, moisture and depth in taste to the buns. Latest Bake on 18…
