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.

Hidden pizza crouching kaya











Great cumin lamb pizza for dinner tonight, wonderful crust thanx to my oven stone. The pizza vanish during dinner time, an amazing magic performed by me and my bro.
I made kaya bun too, but was still in the experimenting phase. it was hard to wrap the kaya in the dough. It is probably too wet (suggested by bunas after showing her the 'other photos'). i tried different wrapping pattern, but none turn out well. still need to improve on the sweet filling buns. My savoury buns seems good but the sweet stuff just dun obey me. anyway will keep striving to perfection.

another weekend's baking spree

It started really slowly this time, i have no idea why my bread rises so slowly. It might be that i tried to reduce half the amount of yeast used. But anyway, all ends well when it start to rise.
I tried a bit of variation today, the seaweed topping is a surprising addition. My intention was to please the eye but the taste of the seaweed came through, it will be better if i add more (my bro's very good suggestion). I also made the hotdog bun, it looks almost like the shops, but i need to practice more. Hope it looks good enough that someone will buy hehehe.









Next i will trying out something inspired by Bunas, Blackberry Swissroll croissant. Could not find blueberry now, so blackberry will do. There's no fresh berry available in the supermarket, they only have frozen ones and it is quite expensive, so did not bother to buy it. hope it will turn out good tomorrow. cheers
