Jumaa Mubaraq to everyone....

T.H.E R.A.M.B.L.I.N.G.S

Time flies.. It's already Friday. The week is almost reaching it's end. Did we achieve anything in these 5 days period? Well, to those who has, well done, and to those who has not, then work harder... and that is specially dedicated to me! Hahaha..... Haven't been doing much this week. But yes, managed to iron 3 basketful of clothes. Thanks to Princess Hours for that. I ironed while watching. Killing two birds with one stone and makes MamaFaMi a happy lady!!!

I am having problem opening my Gmail account at my laptop. And that makes, updating the blog impossible. This had been going on for 3 days already. I had to use Syahmi's desktop to check my mails and do the updates. Anyone can explain why is this happening? Would appreciate it very much.

Last week, Kak Pah gave me a call. I had forgotten why she called but what I remembered clearly, she had promised to pass me her sanwich bread recipe. And she emailed me soon as she put down the phone. Thank you so much Kak Pah for sharing the recipe with me and allowing me to share it with others. Only thing, I improvised slightly to give it a better look.... eh eh... perasan pulak.... cantik ke? Hehehe....

SANDWICH BREAD (improvised)
Source : Kak Pah of Shamin Oven

Boiled Dough :
100 g bread flour
120 g water

Method :
1. Bring the water to boil, stir the water so that the temperature is even.
2. Add in the flour. Remove from heat.
3. Keep stirring until a dough is formed. Leave to cool.

Ingredients :

100 g double cream/fresh milk/ ideal milk (I used fresh milk)
300 g chilled water
2 eggs
12 g salt
* 1 kg bread flour (if you want a whiter bread, use pau flour)
* 8g bread improver (* sift together)
50 g refine sugar
15g dried instant yeast
10 g voltex or soft pro.(I substitute with bread softener)
Boiled dough – (refer the above) shredded
120 g butter or shorterning (for whiter bread, use 60g butter + 60g shortening)

I added : Food coloring - yellow, pink and green

Method (Bread Maker) :

1. Pour the fresh milk, chilled water, eggs and salt into the bread maker pan.
2. Top it with sifted flour and bread improver, sugar, instant yeast, bread softener and shredded boiled dough.
3. Set the bread maker to DOUGH function. Once the dough is just combined, add in butter/shortening and leave the Breadmaker to continue doing it's job. This process will take about 1 1/2 hour including prooving.
4. Remove dough from breadmaker and divide into 3 equal portions. Add one color to each portion. Leave to rest for 15 minutes.
5. Roll each dough to 1 cm thick. Stack the rolled dough on top of each other and roll like the swiss roll.
6. Place in the loaf tin and close the lid, leaving just a bit of opening. Leave to prove till double the size.
7. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 C for 40 minutes. Baking time and oven temperature may differ depending on your oven.

Note :
1. I made 1/2 the recipe. By right, the size of my loaf tin should only fit 1/3 of the recipe.
2. I used all purpose flour in this recipe

Have a nice and safe weekend everyone!
