Simple soft milk bread

Another Sunday :) Time flies, I didnt do any major cooking this week, just managed to make this bread. I must say thank you to Happy Home Baker from SIngapore for sharing this recipe :D this is the link to the recipe http://happyhomebaking.blogspot.com/2007/08/almost-square.html I made a slight alteration to the recipe, I have added 40grams of milk powder into the dough and I used salted butter (so I have omitted the salt in the recipe) And also, If you are blur as me.. and have no idea on how to roll the dough , this is the place to look http://www001.upp.so-net.ne.jp/e-pan/sandwiches/sandwiches.htm I don't know how to read japanese but there is an illustration that show you how to roll the bread out. Try it, it's nice.


This is what I get after the second proving.



After applying egg wash and a bit of decoration :D



After 20 mins in the oven :D




oooohhhh , so so soft and fluffy :D




Yummieeeeeeee:D

I am so tired today, woke up with soreness everywhere on my body ... from my arms to my thighs... hehe, too much gym, too much weights :P So, I decided to stay home today, not going to torture myself with more gym. Instead, I was hapilly watering the roses and pruning them, also sweeping the front yard and back garden. I did my laundry, clean the house and of course, bake and cook :D I love weekends, if only weekdays are like weekend :P Breakfast was great, I had chicken sausages with veggie omelette, a cup of tea and my sweet Hokkaido bread with butter and cheddar cheese .. yum.... oh yes... cherry tomatoes:P too much for a breakfast :P :unch is just simple minestrone soup. Around afternoon, I decided to bake.... becoz i have overiped bananas and a bag of cornflakes that sit around for ages:P I just want to get rid of it. Therefore I made muffins that consists of banana, cornflakes, pinenuts and choc chips .... :D I am greedy:P Dinner time I had stir-fried seafood noodles :D Goodie :D

Veggie Lasagna and Hokkaido sweet bread

It's Saturday again, time for me to do some major cooking :D I started my cooking on friday night... where I suppose to be at the gym lol lol :P Anyway, I went to the supermarket and got all the ingredient i need to make lasagna. Now, I must confest, I didnt make the lasagna sheet, lol, i bought them fresh :D but i grilled the eggplant and tomatoes :D This is my first lasagna, I never make them but I want to eat them.... that is what you get when you are in a foreign land and going out to eat alone is not the best thing to do.. lol... so i made a small lasagna that could last me my dinner, tomorrow's lunch and dinner :D isn't that great :P and since today is a Saturday , I try to bake something new. I made Hokkaido Sweet bread . This bread is really REALLY soft, I had never baked such soft bread . It's like cotton:D SWEET:D
