Plain Flour Carrot Loaf [Straight Dough Method]

You can baked this bread using all purpose flour if you happen to run short of bread flour.  This bread turns out well like my previous baking of pumpkin buns [recipe here].  The bread texture is good  - soft and moist even though I baked it as a loaf bread.  

Ingredients

[bake in loaf pan size 21cm x 9cm x 7cm]

300 gm plain flour

1 tbsp skimmed milk powder

1/2 tsp salt

30 gm sugar [1 used 2 level tbsp]

1 small egg

150 gm grated carrot - squeezed out juice and add water to get 150 ml carrot juice

2 tsp yeast

1 tbsp butter

1. Knead all dough ingredients [except butter and water] on slow speed to combine.  Gradually add in carrot juice/water [may not use all] and continue kneading until dough is soft and smooth [about 7-10 minutes].
2. Add in butter and continue kneading on low speed from the start then turn to medium speed when butter and dough has combined.  Knead for about 5-7 minutes to get to window pane stage.
3. Form dough into a ball.  Place in a bowl covered to rest for 15 minutes or until double in size. [Can prepare dough up to this stage - place dough in an airtight container or tied up plastic bag and keep in the refrigerator for 1 day before use.  Safe time and bread can be ready in a shorter time whenever you feel like having freshly baked bread for breakfast.   Thaw dough to room temperature before use].
4. Punch down rested dough.  Divide into 4 pieces of equal weight.  Round up into a ball.   Roll each piece into a small rectangle, fold into thirds, then again roll flat into a rectangle.  Roll up tightly into a swiss roll.   Place on baking tin.  Finish doing the same for the other 3 pieces.
5. Leave dough in oven to proof until double in size [about 1 hour]. 
6. Remove from oven to preheat oven to 180 degrees C for 10 minutes.
7. Then bake loaf bread in preheated oven for 25 minutes.  Remove and cool on wire rack.

Note:
This dough can be used to bake buns too.

Add all Step 2 ingredients  [except butter] to dough from Step 1.  Knead from low speed until well combined.  Continue to knead on medium speed until dough is soft and smooth [takes about 7-10 minutes].  Add in butter, continue to knead until dough is soft and elastic or window pane stage [Notes - if not baking buns immediately, the dough can be kept in plastic bag tied up and refrigerate.   Thaw to room temperature before using.   Advisable to keep up to 48 hours only]. OR
2. Shape dough into a ball.  Cover and leave to proof for 15 minutes.   Punch down and divide dough into 16 portions of equal weight.  Shape dough into round balls.
3. Roll out each ball and flatten dough, place a spoonful or more of char siew filling in the centre.  Gather up the seam and seal well.   Place bun on paper casing, seam side down on baking tray.  Finish shaping all the buns.
4. Leave to rise for 30-45 minutes or until double in size.  Brush with egg/milk glaze. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
5. Baked in preheated oven at 190 degrees [middle shelf]  for 12-15 minutes or until golden.

Lavender and Lovage and What Kate Baked

Lemon Soufflé Cake [1st Attempt]

After baking the Orange Souffle Cake and Chocolate Souffle Cake which I like so much, I again tried with lemon flavour.  The flavour of this cake is very refreshing and the texture is soft, cottony and moist. 
The only mistake I made was I covered the top with foil but forgotten to extend the baking time for another 10 minutes.  So the top was a little moist and difficult to handle.  I then grilled it for about 5-10 minutes to make it easier for slicing, the cake was saved.   Don't follow this way, unless you prefer a pale crust.     Next time, I will try to bake at 180 degrees C for 45 minutes if I'm covering it with foil.

Ingredients

3 egg yolk
1/2 egg (about 30g)
15 gm sugar [I used 1 tbsp]
1/4 tsp salt
25 ml lemon juice
25 ml milk
1 tsp lemon zest
35 ml vegetable oil [I  used 1 1/2 tbsp]
40 gm cake flour  - sifted - set aside

3 egg white
55 gm sugar [used 3 tbsp]
1/4 tsp cream of tartar

1. Line base of a 7" square tin [use loose bottom pan] with grease proof paper and wrap it with tin foil.  Place it in a bigger square baking tin.  Preheat oven to 150 degrees C.
2. Mix lemon juice, milk, lemon zest and oil  together.
3. Use a hand whisk mix egg yolks, half egg, sugar and salt together.
4. Add in liquid mixture and whisk until well combined.
5. Fold in sifted flour and stir until batter is smooth.
6. Use a cake mixer, whisk egg whites and cream of tartar till frothy.   Add in the sugar in 3 batches and whisk on medium speed until soft peaks formed.
7. Fold in 1/4 of the meringue into the egg yolk mixture until combined.   Then fold in the rest of the meringue lightly in two portions until well combined.
8. Scoop out 1/3 of mixture, add a little [1-2 drops] of green colouring, fold until combined.
9. Pour 1/3 of plain batter into prepared cake tin, followed by green batter then again the plain batter.  Place it in the bigger cake tin filled with hot water.
10. Steam-bake cake in a preheated oven at 150 C for 55-60 minutes [without covering with foil.  [If covering cake with foil, bake at 180 degrees C for  45 minutes, after 45 minutes, remove foil and bake a further 10 minutes].
11. Remove cake at once from tin, discard all paper linings [to prevent vapour when cooling] and cool it on a wire rack.

Cornet Shaped Carrot Buns [Sponge Dough Method]

Came across this recipe sometime ago but could'nt bake these buns as I do not have the cornet moulds. On my last shopping trip, I noticed these cornet moulds among the other baking items up for sale for the Hari Raya festive season.  There were so many new  baking/cooking utensils/items on sale at the departmental stores but I have to discipline myself not to buy too many unnecessary items no matter how tempting they are.  Being a rather 'disciplined person', hehe, I bought only these moulds and they were cheap for a set of 6 pieces [RM 3.90/set] and hopefully they are going to useful....in my kitchen.

First I baked these buns then I filled them with some tuna mayo fillings just before serving.  I supposed they can be stuffed with many other types of fillings [either sweet or savoury].  May be my god daughter would love it with ice cream [she loves having bread with ice cream].  This recipe yields  16 buns.  The buns were soft, fluffy and moist and can easily be dislodged from the moulds.

Ingredients for the Buns

Step 1 - Sponge Dough

100 gm bread flour

100 gm plain flour

1.5 tsp instant yeast

130 ml water

• Mix yeast with water in mixing bowl, then add in flour.  Knead to form a soft and smooth dough.
• Cover and leave to proof for 1-1 1/2 hours or double in size.

Step 2 - Bread Dough

200 gm bread flour

2 tbsp sugar

1 tsp salt

130 gm grated carrot

40 gm butter

• Add all Step 2 ingredients  [except butter] to dough from Step 1.  Knead from low speed until well combined.  Continue to knead on medium speed until dough is soft and smooth [takes about 7-10 minutes].  Add in butter, continue to knead until dough is soft and elastic or window pane stage [Notes - if not baking buns immediately, the dough can be kept in plastic bag tied up and refrigerate.   Thaw to room temperature before using.   Advisable to keep up to 48 hours only].
• Shape dough into a ball.  Cover and leave to proof for 15 minutes.
• Punch down and divide dough in 16 pieces.
• Shape dough into round balls.  Flatten each ball, roll up and roll dough into a 12" rope.  Thin out at one end.
• Coil the dough around a lightly greased cornet shape mould.  Place on a lightly greased baking tray.   Do the same for the rest of the dough.  Leave to rise for 40-50 minutes or until 2 times in size. 
• Before baking, brush with beaten egg.
• Bake in preheated oven at 200 degrees C for 10-12 minutes or until golden.
• Leave to cool on rack, remove mould and fill cornet buns with prepared filling before serving.

Fried Soy Bean Noodles [Tau Chiam Noodles]

A very Asian cuisine and a convenient one-dish meal for the family for weekend lunch or dinner.

Info from Eating Pleasure on Soy Bean Noodles "Soy bean noodles is called tau chiam in Hokkien. It's made of soy bean and wheat. Hence, the Protein value is higher than the normal noodles, and it's low in carbo too. It's good for diabetes patient who loves noodles. The texture is similar to "pan mee" ????."

At home, this noodle is usually cooked into a thick soup with yam, dried prawns, meat and mushrooms.  The stock is boiled and the noodles added.  The soup becomes thick by the time the noodles are cooked and also because of the yam. Add more stock if you preferred the soup to be less thick.  A very traditional way [kochabi] and is quite acceptable by all in the family. I'll cook the soup version next time.

Anyway, this time, I'm frying it with some other ingredients. 

Ingredients

[serves 2-3]

200 gm soy bean noodles [tau chiam] - blanched in boiling water to soften

50 gm meat - sliced [optional]

70 gm prawns - shelled

3 dried mushrooms - soaked and shredded

1 small red carrot - shredded

50 gm cabbage - shredded [I used iceberg lettuce]

50 gm chives or chives flower - cut 3 cm lengths

2 tsp chopped garlic

2 tbsp oil

1 tbsp sesame oil

cut red chillies in soy sauce

Seasoning [combined]

1 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tbsp soy sauce

dash of msg and pepper to taste

1/2 tsp sugar

1 cup water

1. Blanched noodles in boiling water to cook until al dente.  Remove and drain in colander [mix with some sesame oil].
2. Heat oil in wok, fry garlic until aromatic.  Add in prawns, meat and mushrooms to fry, then add in carrots.  Stir fry well and add in blanched noodles and seasoning.  Stir fry and toss noodles to combine all ingredients.
3. Add in water, chives and lettuce.  Stir fry to combine ingredients well and cooked until gravy is slightly thickened.
4. Dish out and serve immediately with cut chillies.

Note 

• If using cabbage, add in when adding carrots

• Not necessary to have all the above ingredients, any combination is alright.  I added crabmeat too.

Potato Sesame Seed Buns [Straight Dough Method]

This 马铃薯面包 Potato Bread recipe was from Cathy's blog [details here] which was adapted and modify from 'The Second Book of Baking for Beginners' by Carol.  I used to bake potato buns from potato flakes and has never tried using boiled potato [mashed].

Quite an easy to follow recipe but most important is, it yields really soft and moist buns.  However, I made them round and coat them with toasted sesame seeds which are rather similar to those sold at Adventist Hospital Bakery.  There, the buns were baked in a cluster of 9 buns.  The buns were covered with lots of sesame seeds, very soft and moist.  Think this is also a healthy bun cos' it isn't sweet, salty or oily.

Ingredients

[makes 12 buns]

270 gm bread flour

30 gm plain flour

3 gm bread improver [I omit]

150 gm mashed potato [boiled with water till soft and mashed]

20 gm caster sugar [I used 1 1/2 tbsp]

1 tsp instant yeast

1/4 tsp salt

150 ml milk

30 gm butter [I used 1 tbsp]

enough lightly toasted sesame seeds

Butter, cut into thin strips

granulated sugar - optional

1. Dough - Combine all ingredients together (except butter) in a mixer and knead until a soft dough is formed [about 10-12 minutes].    Add in butter and continue to knead until the dough is soft, smooth and elastic.  This takes about 10-15 minutes from low speed to medium high speed.  The dough should not stick to the fingers when touch or reach window pane stage.
2. Leave to proof for 15 minutes or until double in size.  Punch down dough.
3. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions.   Roll dough into round balls.  Wet them with some water, then coat it with sesame seeds.  Place on foil cupcake cases [buns will not stick to foil cases after baking].
4. Proof the dough for  45minutes or until double in size.
5. Use a knife to make a slit in the middle of the dough  and put one strip of the butter on top.  Sprinkle with some granulated sugar [for better effect, brush dough with egg glaze or milk before slitting the buns].
6. Bake in a preheated oven at 190 degrees C for 15 minutes or until golden.  Remove to cool on wire rack.

Milk Bread Loaf [Straight Dough Method]

Milk bread slice with butter and homemade Kiwi Jam

This milk loaf recipe was  from Blessed Homemaker and her original source was from Happy Home Baking.  Anyway, this is the recipe which I used to bake 2 loaves of bread [420gm each] using just milk.  As usual, I made double as I'm sharing with my neighbour.  Just halve the quantity if you wish to make only a loaf.

This bread is soft, light and moist.  Nice bread.  The dough is not sticky, easy to handle.

If I'm not wrong, this dough recipe can also be used to make buns [recipe here].

Ingredients for Milk Loaf 

[makes 2 loaves x 420 gm]

500 gm bread flour

1/4 tsp salt

3 tbsp sugar [about 50 gm]

1 small egg

260 ml UHT milk

1. Knead all dough ingredients [except butter] on slow speed to combine.   Then  continue kneading on medium speed until dough is soft and smooth [about 7-10 minutes].
2. Add in butter and continue kneading on low speed from the start then turn to medium speed when butter and dough has combined.  Knead for about 5-7 minutes to get to window pane stage or smooth, elastic and dough is not sticky.
3. Form dough into a ball.  Place in a bowl covered to rest for 1 hour or double in size [usually is less than 1 hour].
4. Punch down rested dough.  Divide into 2 equal portions.  Round up into a ball.  Fold into thirds then roll each portion into a rectangle.   Roll up like swiss roll and seal the edges well.  Place the  loaves in greased Pullman's tins.
5. Leave in oven to proof until double in size [about 1 hour].  
6. Bake in preheated oven at 160 degrees C for 35-40 minutes.  Remove and cool on wire rack.
