Milk Custard Bun (奶酥面包)

She Knows Bagel

To my Surprised, Bagel has never in my "To do List" ever since I've started baking bread. "Bland,hard" was my first unpleasant experience with a store bought bagel from a supermarket .


Until when she keep posting her various Bagel bakes, I was drooling over the round,cute puffy look bagel made by her. With the basic dough, it can turned into many others flavour, sweet or savoury, ie chocolate,coffee,pumpkin, mixed veggie etc. It seems that cream chees spread goes well with it , will try a cream cheese spread on next attempt.

Will keep playing with others different flavour


Oreo biscuits added

ZOPF (Swiss Braided bread)

Noticed my weak point when it comes to bread shaping, I've chosen breads that require shaping in my recent bakes, tried milk (dinner) roll (pict not taken), and this is my 2nd shaping bread this week -Zopf

It does get confused when first started, thanks to blogger Angela for her step by step guide .
Practice makes perfect, will try out the 6 braided shaping in the next recipe.

Final proofing /ready for baking

Bon Appetit !

Rustic Bread ( Natural grape levain)

HongKong style Polo bun

This is our all time favourite bun whenever we had our Sunday "Tim sum" brunch . particularly sandwich with a slice of butter ,Heaven!

This batch which I baked last night turned out to be the best recipe among the previous few with direct method. I always belived with recipe using "slow ferment dough" method, as its produce a softest texture bread without failed. I adapted this recipe quite awhile & overlook it's method suits me well until days back when I had a chance to browse through my entire downloaded hardcopy.

What's more can i say? the taste is authentic , this will definitely list in my favourite recipe card .
