For the love of baking

Give a man a loaf of bread, you will feed him for days. Teach a man how to bake, everyone around him will be happily fed.

It's the weekend....

hey weekend is here, this week i'll try out two new flour to see which is better (if there's a difference in taste). I'm trying to make a basic loaf, polo buns and the tuna buns i made last week (got some good feedback).

Also i am trying out a new technique for the basic loaf. Basically, knead the dough for a bit, rest for a bit then knead it again. I'm at the initial stages now, i find it easier to knead the second time and become smoother faster. After resting for about 30 mins - 1 hour, i will roll it out to a flat piece and then fold it and repeat for 1 or 2 times (got this technique from www.danlepard.com). Since i got time to kill tonight i am gonna start kneading tonight and let it proof overnight. If you don't have time, i'll try to assess this technique after i finish baking to see if this is the way to better breads. Cheers for now.
