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…

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…

Cream Cheese Buns

The cream cheese here is kneaded into the dough and not used as fillings. It definitely improves softness and fragrance. Recipe (8 rolls in 8″ square tin) 60g cream cheese 70g water 1 egg 30g sugar 1 tsp instant yeast 250g bread flour Method 1. Add cream cheese, water, egg and sugar into mixing and…

Garlic Butter Buns

The copious amount of garlic here is enough to ward off all evil, and the smell while baking is heaven. We love garlic and can take them raw. Please adjust to taste. But the best part about this bun is the butter toasted bottom which is crispy and filled with aroma of butter and toasted…

Yoghurt Soft Wholemeal Bread (old dough)

A soft and fluffy bread using straight dough and quick proof method. The key difference is the old dough or 老面that I added, and the whole loaf was soft and fluffy. My old dough is easy and casual, it’s any bread dough saved from the last bread that you baked. I always make it around…

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…

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…
