Potato Buns - Another Recipe

Been lazy in blogging lately. Dunno why. Perhaps the crazy weather
Anyway, the thought of my rotten blog has won, so I am writing now :)

Sharing what I baked a few weeks ago which yet to be blogged
Not that I didn't enjoy these buns. In fact I loved it!
The potato buns I baked the first time was good, but to my preference, this one was even better

Recipe is from NCC Indonesia (original recipe is Potato Donuts)

What you need:

500g bread flour
50g full cream milk powder
11g instant yeast
200g potatoes (weight after steamed, mashed and cooled)
100g sugar
75g butter
1/2 tsp salt
4 egg yolks
100ml cold water

Egg wash: 1 egg lightly beaten with 1 tbsp milk

Method:
  1. Pour all wet ingredients into the bread maker pan (egg yolks, cold water and potatoes), followed by dry ingredients (bread flour, milk powder, yeast, sugar, and salt)
  2. Start bread maker for dough making
  3. After kneading for 5 minutes, throw in butter
  4. Let the machine do the kneading and first proofing
  5. Once done, take the pan out from the machine and knead briefly to let the air bubble out
  6. Weigh each dough 30g, flatten and put in filling in each dough
  7. Shape into balls (or whatever shape you prefer) and arrange on lined baking pan
  8. Second proofing til doubled in size, cover them with damp clean cloth
  9. Brush the top with egg wash and bake in preheated oven of 180degC til golden brown, about 20 minutes
  10. Once out from the oven, brush the top with butter

These buns remained soft til the third day, my kind of bread :)


Banana chocolate filling:



Chocolate chips filling:



Grated cheddar cheese filling:





A keeper recipe. Will definitely bake this again, the next time will be following the recipe - donuts :)

Saw one recipe at Ju's blog, The Little Teochew, looked so yummy!

Also I added fresh button mushroom, sliced

7 tbsp chicken stock
2 tbsp cream
1 tsp corn flour, diluted with a little water
2 rice bowls overnight cooked rice
breakfast ham, sliced
200g sliced button mushrooms
a few handful of frozen corns
a knob of butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
grated cheddar and mozzarella
grated parmesan
 
Method:
  1. In a saucepan, bring chicken stock and cream to a boil. Add corn starch liquid. Stir till the mixture thickens. Set aside
  2. In a wok, melt some butter. Fry the garlic till fragrant. Add ham, followed by corns and mushrooms. Add rice. Break up all lumps. Mix well
  3. Pour butter fried rice into a casserole dish. Pour chicken stock mixture over. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese
  4. Top with lots of grated cheddar and mozzarella

Bake Along #42 - Deep Chocolate Pound Cake

This cake is very compact and dense. That's the first impression I had in mind when I first tried it. But it's indeed moist and crumbly
Taste wise, I loved it. I didn't mind the honey taste in it. But texture, not really my kind of cake. Not my family, either. Moist, yes we like. But dense, not really
Nevertheless, I and Abby, my chocolate addict girl, did munch on this cake quite a bit :) DH ate a little, too. Ian had a bite and that's it LOL

What you need:

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
¾ tsp coarse kosher salt
¼ tsp baking soda½ cup sour cream (replace with yogurt) ½ cup whole milk

¼ cup honey
2 tablespoons boiling water¾ cup sugar (reduced to 1/2 cup) ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon chocolate emulco
½ cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

Method:

1. Whisk flour, baking powder, coarse salt, and baking soda in medium bowl. Whisk yoghurt and milk in small bowl
2. Add honey and water in a heatproof pan. Cook and stir as heating the mixture. Once combine, off the heat (no need reach boiling point). Add in cocoa powder and mix until smooth. Cool completely3. Using electric mixer, beat sugar and butter until light and fluffy. 3. Beat in eggs 1 at a time, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl
Beat in chocolate emulco. Add cocoa mixture; stir until smooth, occasionally scraping down bowl
4. Fold in flour mixture alternately with sour cream (yogurt) mixture in 2 additions each until just blended. Stir in chocolate chips
5. Pour batter into lined baking pan or muffins mould. Bake in preheated oven at 180C for about 45 minutes or until tester inserted into center comes out clean

Ayam Percik Kelantan

My first post for Malaysian Food Fest Kelantan
Saw this in Gert from My Kitchen Snippets and was drooling over it, furthermore no spices, my kids would eat :)

I took photos before dinner time, since I cooked this dish for dinner. Worst time of photo taking... I know... So pardon the no quality photos here LOL




The chicken was indeed tasty, and the sauce just made it better
I also cooked garlic butter rice to eat with it, and it went so well together
My kids loved eating the rice mixed with a little of the sauce :)

I boiled my chicken with pressure cooker. It was soft after boiling, but I was not so sure why it turned out a little tough after baking. I only could think that I over baked it, but timing wise it was even lesser than recommended time, and my oven temperature is usually at the lower side
Nevertheless, we enjoyed this dish :)

Recipe can be viewed HERE
I doubled up the ingredients to boil the chicken since I used whole free range chicken

For garlic butter rice, I sautéed a few cloves of crushed garlic with butter, added in overnight rice, sprinkled some garlic salt and garlic oil, and that's it :)

THB #15 Orange-Frosted Sponge Cake

I baked this soft, fluffy and yummy cake yesterday and I was out the whole day today so I only can post now, luckily I'm still in time phew.... :)


First pic - last night just after I poured the frosting

 
 
The pics below - taken this morning
 




This cake is more to chiffon cake, to my opinion. I reduced the sugar used for egg yolks mixture to 1/2 cup from 1 cup and for egg whites mixture to 1/3 cup from 1/2 cup, and I found the sweetness is just nice for me. In fact, I didn't mind eating it plain without frosting :)

I used bundt pan since my chiffon pan with removable bottom is too small in size. I did struggle a little to remove the cake from the pan, hence the not so smooth top, and the frosting didn't help much to cover it up since the frosting I made was not smooth enough, either :(
And I found it's a little too runny for me, perhaps cos I only used half quantity of icing sugar than recommended. Nevertheless, it added some sweetness to the not so sweet cake, also infused more orange fragrance and taste, and best of all, it still can set very nicely the next day after kept overnight in airtight container in room temperature :)

I prefer to it the next day after the frosting has really set, very nice :)
Those who loves light fluffy cake must try this cake :) No oil, no butter, no guilt LOL

Spam Fried Rice With Corn

Yeah, spam is not healthy... But everyone would agree that it's really yummy LOL
I guess it's forgivable to enjoy it once a while :)
I balanced up with scrambled eggs and corns to make me feel less guilty and also my kids love corns so much
I also chose light spam which claims to have 25% less sodium *grin*




Inspiration is from Rasa Malaysia

What you need:

3 cups overnight steamed rice
2 1/2 tbsp oil
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cloves of garlic, minced (I used 3)
6oz  spam, cut into small cubes (I used 2/3 can)
1 cup frozen vegetables, defrost (I used 1 1/2 cup frozen corns)
Salt, to taste

Seasonings:
1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce (I used 2 tbsp)
1/2 tbsp fish sauce
1/4 tsp sesame oil (I used 1 tsp)
1 tsp garlic oil (I added)
1 tsp dark sweet soya sauce (I added)
3 dashes white pepper

Method:
  1. Break up the lumpy overnight rice with the back of the spoon or fork
  2. Mix all the ingredients for the seasonings in a small bowl
  3. Heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a wok over high heat and cook the eggs first. Use the spatula to break the eggs into small pieces. Set aside
  4. Reheat the wok with the remaining 2 tbsp oil and stir-fry the garlic until aromatic
  5. Add the spam pieces and stir-fry until light brown before adding the corns. Stir to combine well
  6. Add the rice into the wok and use the spatula to stir-fry continuously until the all the ingredients are well blended
  7. Add the seasonings into the wok, blending it well with the rice and ingredients
  8. Return the cooked eggs into the wok and combine with the rice. Dish out and serve immediately

Plaited Bread With Apple Cinnamon Filling (No Knead Dough)

When I baked hot cross buns for Easter the other day, I made plaited bread, too with half of the dough

The apple cinnamon filling is the same as what I used for my apple turnover but I did simmer the mixture til apples softened

Fresh from the oven...
 

The next morning...




It's indeed a miracle dough knowing no kneading required and yet yields a very soft and fluffy bread, even til the next 2 days!
And it's so easy to make I can bet those never bake before can do, too. Yes, it's that easy :)

I know that I'll definitely use this recipe again and again :)

Hot Cross Buns With Chocolate Filling (No Knead Dough)

Happy Easter for those celebrating!

I baked these little cute hot cross buns and instead of mixing the dough with spices and raisins like the usual hot cross buns, I only used plain dough and added chocolate filling using semi sweet chocolate chips

Very interesting bread recipe I saw at Ju's site, The Little Teochew
No knead bread, who will say no?
With good reviews I read from others tried this recipe, I decided to give it a try too
This recipe is originally from The Pioneer Woman and modified the quantity by Pig Pig's Corner
Very easy, indeed and I can't complain on the result! Soft and fluffy til the next day!

Instead of cinnamon rolls, I baked hot cross buns using this dough, and I did refrigerate overnight for easier handling
My kids do not fancy spiced buns, so instead of adding spices and raisins into the dough, I left the dough plain and added chocolate filling into each bun

Please view HERE for ingredients and method to make the dough
Weighed 30g for each dough, flatten it, place some semi sweet chocolate chips filling in it and wrap it up then seal
Place on lined baking tray, leaving a little space in between, proof for another 30 minutes and pipe cross on it just before baking
I mixed 50g of self raising flour and 60ml water for the piping
Bake for 10 minutes in preheated oven of 200degC, reduce the temperature to 180degC and bake for another 15 minutes til golden brown
While hot, brush the top with butter





I made half of the dough into these buns and the other half plaited bread with apple cinnamon filling, very nice too, will share soon :)


My kids' Easter project, ended up Daddy did the work LOL

Sun-Dried Tomato Bread (Bread maker)

This bread is such a great pair with the fresh tomato soup I made the other day
I made it from the scratch using bread maker from the kneading part all the way to baking
I couldn't be more satisfied with the result, tasty and soft too with crisp crust
Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to take a snap of the whole loaf, as I baked this loaf in the evening and waited for the next day to get morning sun, and by that time, I only saw two slices left! :)




What you need:
(500g loaf)

230ml water
2 tsp oil from sun-dried tomatoes
350g bread flour
25g finely grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp dried yeast
50g well drained sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

Method:
  1. Pour water and oil into the bread maker pan, followed by bread flour, cheese, salt, sugar and yeast
  2. Choose programme for basic bread, choose the level for your preferred crust and weight of the loaf
  3. Let the machine starts. After 5 minutes kneading, pour in sun-dried tomatoes
  4. (those with bread maker with auto dispenser can place the sun-dried tomatoes in it before the machine starts)
  5. Let the machine does the rest of the process (about 3 hours)

Bake Along #41 - Apple Turnover with Quick & Easy Flaky Pastry (Delia Smith)

I'm always intrigued with recipes using words 'easy' or 'quick', better still, using both words LOL
When I saw Mich from Piece of Cake and Angeline from Angeline's Side of Story made this pastry from Delia Smith, I wanted to try too, very much
At the same time, Bake Along latest theme is Turnover, I decided to give this a try with apple filling
I used the recipe for the apple filling from Ina Garten after seeing Angeline did so too a while back






With such an easy method of making the pastry skin, I must say I'm very satisfied with the result, tasty, buttery and crisp. It's not flaky enough, but it's easily forgiven :)
The filling is no different, very addictive :)

What you need:

For the pastry:
110g butter
175g plain flour
a pinch of salt
2 tbsp. cold water (I added to 3 tbsp to make it more moist)

Method:
  1. Keep butter wrapped in a plastic, and freeze for at least 45 minutes
  2. Sift flour and salt in a large bowl, grate frozen butter on top of the flour
  3. Use butter knife to mix (do not use hands) evenly
  4. Sprinkle water with hands all over and mix again with butter knife for a few seconds, then you may finish off with hands
  5. Dough should be moist, combine altogether, and leave the bowl fairly clean, no need to knead the dough
  6. Wrap it up and rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes
For the filling:
1 tbsp grated orange zest
3tbsp fresh orange juice
600g tart apples (granny smith)
3 tbsp sugar, plus extra to sprinkle on top
1 1/2 tbsp plain flour
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
pinch of salt

Egg wash:
1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water

Method:
  1. Combine orange zest & juice. Dice apples and immediately toss with the juice mixture to prevent browning
  2. Add sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt (sugar depends on the sweetness of the apples)
To assemble:
  1. Preheat oven to 200degC
  2. Bring the dough out from the fridge and leave it for about 15 minutes
  3. Flatten the dough using rolling pin on a floured surface, shape according to preference (I made rectangle shape), keep chilled until ready to use
  4. Brush the edges with egg wash
  5. Place the filling on half side and fold up over the filling, then seal the edges with fork
  6. Brush the top with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar, poke some holes and transfer to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper
  7. Bake for about 20 minutes (depending on the size) until browned and puffed
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature
