"Kaluo" Pudding Sweet Toast

Got a packet of "Kaluo" Pudding mix during my recent trip to Taipei, Ever read from some Taiwanese blogger adding this to their toast recipe, was very tempted to try out, the result as described , soft, aroma, but to the sweet side, will reduce sugar on next attempt .

17 Hrs Coffee Toast

After several trials of different breadmaking methods ie direct, cooked dough, old dough etc, this 17hrs low temp proving method which originated from a Japan bakery has became my basic toast recipe. What I usually do is to prepare starter dough the night before (less than 30 mins by bread machine dough cycle), leave it in the fridge , came back from work the next day, the dough is ready to add into the basic dough, it just require 35 mins for 1st prove aft incoporate with all other ingredients before proceed for shaping .

It's definitely worth trying out for its wonderful texture ,so glad that we don't even need to add any bread improver (which I usually omit) and it still kept well in our room temp for at least 4 days.




The Aroma from the instant coffee added will keeps you awake for the whole morning !
