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. Happy to find this staple recipe as I make the whole family’s bread, and this won’t last a week. You can also make it plain if you…

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…

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.

A basic bun but with wholemeal added. Buns are easy to make and just as versatile as loafs. Here’s what we had this morning and my girl is just happy to drizzle with snow powder. This recipe uses dairy cream which makes it easy to handle and very tasty. Especially good if you are trying…

Zebra Cake – Pandan and Gula Melaka

My first try at a zebra cake, not so perfect as the colours are too close, but the taste is yummilicious. Pandan and Gula Melaka are a match made in heaven. So here’s a record of the laborious process to get it done. Recipe (7″ cake tin) Gula Melaka mixture 90g Gula Melaka, shaved 20g…

“Microwave” Bread

Here’s a nice recipe to try! Dough is so elastic and pliable, it’s like plasticine, no flouring needed. It uses 2 method to make the dough soft, sponge dough and just plain o folding. Although it’s called sponge dough, the whole process doesn’t take longer than a straight dough method. And because of the…

Honey Dairy Cream Wholemeal Bread (straight dough)

This recipe is adapted from Princess Linda, very humorous blogger, love her recipes. It’s very sticky and wet, plus I added wholemeal flour, so really not easy to handle, flour everything. Because its wholemeal, window pane can’t be too perfect, something like this will do. Resting frequently in between each shaping also helps a lot….
