18th Aug (Mon)

Four days later and still talking about / thinking what to do with that milk. 😂 I must finish that milk before 30th.

So while I was having my lunch eating my pizza. 

Bread! Why didn't I think I can make bread. Took out recently purchased books to refer to recipe. In it I found a magic recipe

After cooking dinner, I got Ms Thermie to work for the 3rd time today. She's never worked so hard before 🤣. Just play around with the functions with how much I'd usually take to manually knead.

Only 2 mins is needed and this German powerhouse able to knead what I do in more than double time. 

I enjoy making bread coz of the yeasty smell and the manual kneading. Ms Thermie took the workload for me today so I can wash my dishes but she keeps running away 🤣 and I had to keep an eye on her just incase she wants to commit suicide. But I hate making bread coz of the time needed for proofing, then punch punch, then proof again. Most times I need to proof three times. 

For this recipe although I needed to wait, I can use it the next day. All I did was to put this pui dough into this container and put it in the fridge. Anyway, so tired today to do anymore work in the kitchen. Let’s call it a day.

19th Aug (Tue) 

In the afternoon, brought it out to punch the dough. 

Then pulled out some to bake, tried measuring but the weighing machine is wonky. Did my agar-ration, leaving more dough for next day. 

Che-che knew I put butter and sugar for 3 bread. She prefers that over the chocolate chip ones (obviously! Coz the chocolate chips are for lil’ one 🤣)

20th Aug (Wed)

This dough can be used up to 5 days, so it means each time I can pull out to bake the amount or what I wanted. 

This batch of butter n sugar, I put inside and outside which turns out to be a mistake coz it was so oily 😂. Did 5 butter & sugar, 3 choc chips and 4 with luncheon meat. 

Luncheon meat bread. Too much dough 😂

According to che-che it doesn’t taste that nice now, not sure if I overdid the butter and sugar or coz it’s not that fresh anymore. 

Recipe : to keep

But will try with half portion instead so I can finish the bread quickly. 

Next one I want to make this, not sure if it’ll be the same as what che-che likes whenever she eats this in Japan. 

 

Recipe requires cake flour (to my horror I found out that in SIN the cake flour are bleached 😱) and vanilla oil.

Bleached flour and unbleached flour - I never really went into a thorough study on what made bleached flour but for many years whenever I buy flour I go for unbleached. I haven’t bought cake flour for donkey years as I hardly bake now, so when I went looking for cake flour I was surprised to find out it’s bleached flour. What was the concern many years ago when I paid attention to unbleached flour was when I read that bleached flour caused inflammation
