腸仔飽

這是招呼陳生朋友的腸仔飽, 雖然每個都唔同樣, 但有幾個係完美的,  anyway, 好味就得啦!!!

Rye bread

Here is my usual bread loaf again.  This time I used half white bread flour and half rye bread flour, added 3 tbsp of oats, a very healthy bread :-)

[Recipe] Oatmeal bread

 

Here I m making bread again.
I m using a "carrot bread" recipe :-S  but replacing carrots with oatmeal becoz Mr Chen very strangely does not eat carrots!!!

I used a total of 5 tbsp of Oats and mixed seeds!!!  Very healthy!!!

Keeping in an air tight container and it can stay fresh for a couple of days.  Best to eat toasted with butter and jam!!!  I am using hand kneading.  May be it is time to consider to buy a bread machine, or a stand mixer??    hmmm....


Ingredients:

• Bread flour 300g
• Dried Yeast 1 + 1/2 tsp (the ones that do NOT need to dissolve in water)
• Sugar 2tbsp
• salt 1 tsp
• butter 25g
• milk 100ml
• warm water 50ml
• Oats 5 tbsp (or u can add in some mixed seeds too!!)

Method:

1. In a big bowl, put in the flour, dried yeast, sugar, salt, mix together
2. Mix milk and water together, then add the liquid to the dried ingredients a little at a time, until a dough is formed.  (You might notice u don't need to use all the liquid or u may need more)
3. Knead the dough for ~5 minutes
4. Add in butter, knead for ~5 minutes
5. Add in Oats, knead for ~5 minutes
6. Put the dough back into the big bowl, cover with cling film, put it in a warm place (e.g. You can put it into an oven or microwave), let it raise to double its size.  It might take 1 to 2 hours.  
7. Get the dough out, knead it a few times to release the air.
8. Seperate the dough into two big portions, shape them as two big balls, place them into a lined loaf tin.
9. Cover the load tin with a towel, put it back to the oven/microwave, let it to raise to the size of a normal bread loaf, it might take half an hour to one hour.
10. Once the dough is ready, preheat oven to 180C, bake it for 18 minutes.  Done :-)

Tips:

• Suggest to check this blogger's website for bread kneading technique
• Always store the bread in air tight container ( e.g. the clip lock plastic boxes), then it can be kept for a longer time.

Homemade croissants

Wow, it is my first time making croissants!!!  They look not bad at all!!!
Recipe is from my translated Japanese cookery book.
Half of a butter block is used!!!   And I made one minor mistake which is I forgot to add in salt :-p
Next time will be better, definitely!!!

Cheese and Oats bread

There was some time in HK I felt quite bored during the weekend.  Apart from going to Jusco to do grocery shopping, I will go to the nearby bookshop to check out their cookery books :-)   I never tried any of their recipes coz there was no one I can cook for :-S  Now, it is different and I just can't stop cooking hahaha.

Few days ago I found this bread baking book from my bookshelf.  It is actually a translated Japanese cooking book.  So I chosen their "Cheese and sesame bread" recipe but I didn't have any black sesame, so I replaced it with my fav "Oats and mixed seeds".    And the book said to use processed cheese but certainly I won't buy those artificial processed cheese.  I simply used cheddar.

It was a success even though it was my first time doing it.  Great!!!

Btw, there are more cheese in the centre of the bread.   The top one is just for decoration!!! hahahahah

提子飽 / raisin bread

This is my second time making this raisin bread.   It tastes even better than last time.  I left the dough to raise for a longer time so it looks more like a bread loaf now.   Yum!!!

雞蛋牛油捲

In Hong Kong, we call these "豬仔飽"   yeah!!!

Here is the recipe I used  http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/carol-jay/article?mid=72482&prev=72777&next=72369

And do check out her "how to make a bread dough" videos, excellent!!!

提子飽 / raisin bread

I have made another raisin bread.  It is very nice, very moist, soft and full of raisins.  Here is the recipe I used,  http://dailydelicious.blogspot.com/2008/08/soft-raisin-bread-my-childhood-favorite.html

Walnut bread

This is my first time making walnut bread.  I followed this recipe from the Internet.
http://dailydelicious.blogspot.com/2011/04/pain-aux-noix-walnut-bread-my-new.html

As u can see, I did it successfully and it tastes so good.   Next time I will add a bit of cheese then they will be just like the ones selling in Sogo bakery shop in Hong Kong.  I love their cheese bread very very much!!! 

排飽和提子飽
