Bread rolls

As salam..

• Using the same dough from my previous entry, we can make other types of bread like cinnabon, bread rolls, pull-apart breads, stuffed buns and many more. 

• Be creative! Add some chocolate chips or stuff them with some cream, kaya, sausages, tuna or chicken, top them with sauce and so on.

• I made some bread rolls as well. We had some for dinner and baked some more in the morning for breakfast!  I love the smell in my little house whenever I bake. Smells like a bakery shop :)

• Anyway, I didn't take any photos while making this rolls though.  Got some help from google. I hope this helps.

• Here are some pictures of mine :)

Cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting

• As salam. How are you? These few weeks were quite hectic with family activities so, I couldn't write any entry though I have a lot in mind. 

• Yesterday was quite fun as I experimented bun making and the best part was of course when it was a success!

• I took the recipe from here.  The original recipe requires a bread machine, but I decided to do some arm and wrist exercises by using my hands :) 

• This rolls will take about 3 hours of your time. Yup, that long..as you need to let the dough rise and so on. 

• Here's the recipe for those who want to build muscle ;P

Cinnamon Rolls

Dough:

237ml  Warm milk 

18g  Dry yeast

76g  Butter/Margarine (melted)

540g  Bread flour

100g Granulated white sugar

2  Eggs

1 teaspoon  Salt

Filling:

200g Brown sugar 

2 1/2 tablespoons  Ground cinnamon

60g Butter(room temperature)

Frosting:

85g  Cream cheese

50g  Butter (room temperature)

180g  Confectioner's sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence

Instructions:

• First, in a large bowl, dissolve the yeast into the milk to activate it for about 5 mins. 

• Then, mix in the eggs, butter, sugar and salt. 

• Next, add in the flour and mix well. Dust your hands with some flour and knead the dough into a ball. 

• Place the dough back in the bowl and cover the bowl with a plastic wrap or a damp towel. You may even place the bowl in the oven that has been preheated. Don't forget to switch off the oven before placing the bowl.

• After 1 hour or when the size doubles, take the dough out. Lightly floured your work surface and punch the dough.  This is to release any gas in it.

• Let is rest for about 10 mins. 

• Prepare the filling. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.

• Roll dough into a 16x21inch rectangle. Spread some butter on the dough followed by the filling mixture evenly. 

• Roll up the dough and cut into 12 rolls. Place them in the baking pan. 

• Cover and let them rise for about 30mins. Preheat your oven to 200deg celcius.

• Then, bake rolls until golden brown for about 15 minutes.

• While baking, prepare the frosting. Beat together butter, cream cheese and vanilla essence.

• Spread frosting before serving. Enjoy your rolls!

Comfort Food ~ 5-minute Bread & Butter Pudding

As salam.

• Over the weekend, we didn't actually go anywhere except to the newly-launched H&M store in Umeda. So, basically we were just lazing at home most of the time plus it was a wet weekend, again. 

• I suddenly craved for something sweet(no, I'm not pregnant & I crave for food all the time lol). I looked through the youtube for a simple recipe, 5-minute Bread & Butter Pudding. You can watch it here. 

• Yeay! I had some nearly-stale bread and all the ingredients needed in the kitchen. 

• It's a very simple recipe and it tastes delicious. I'm a fan of bread & butter pudding and I think this recipe is just awesome! 

• You need about 2 minutes to prepare and mix. Next, just tuck in your mug/baking dish in the microwave for 2-3 minutes and you're done! I've made some changes to the recipe as I was making it for 3 instead of 1. Here's the recipe. Enjoy!

5-minute Bread & Butter Pudding

50g  Butter(melted)

1 Egg

60g  Granulated sugar (I used brown sugar) 

10g  Cinnamon powder

1/4  Vanilla essence

Some raisins if you like. 

2 slices of bread

Mix everything in a bowl using a whisk. Then, add the raisins. Cut the bread into small pieces and toss them into the bowl. When everything is mixed, put the mixture into your baking dish. Bake in the microwave for about 2-3 minutes. 

Try this and don't forget to leave a comment! :)

Biskut Mazola aka Biskut Kacang

As salam. 

• Semalam tiba-tiba terasa nak buat cookies. Terus teringat biskut ni yang arwah opah selalu buat bila nak raya(lambat lagi nak raya kome weh).  Biskut Mazola atau kadang-kadang ada jugak yang panggil biskut kacang. 

• Nama biskut Mazola ni berasal daripada minyak jagung berjenama Mazola, salah satu bahan yang digunapakai dalam resepi biskut ni.

• Tapi, kali ni saya guna minyak sayuran ataupun vegetable oil kata oghang putih gedeban.

• Senang sangat nak buat biskut ni. Janganla bagi alasan takde masa la, tak sempatla, takde ovenla, takde mixer la(bercakap pasal diri sendiri).

• Orang dulu-dulu deme takde oven, jadi deme goreng biskut ni macam arwah opah saya buat. Mixer canggih macam KitchenAid tu pun tak mandang. Deme gaul pakai senduk kayu tu je. Blender pun tak ada, tumbuk guna lesung batu. Sedap je rasanya. 

• Abih tunggu apa lagi? Pegi la dapor cepat buat. Nah resepinya :)

Biskut Mazola

200g  Tepung gandum

150g  Gula halus ~ saya guna icing sugar :)

140ml Minyak jagung ~ minyak sayuran pon boleyyy

1/4 camca teh garam

200g + 50g  Kacang tanah

1 kuning telur + 2 tsp air

Cara-cara:

1.  Roast(bakor? panggang? entah) kacang tanah dalam oven 200deg c. Kalau nak goreng tanpa minyak pun boleh. Ketepikan lebih kurang 50g kacang tadi untuk hiasan.

Then, selebihnya kisar.

2. Ayak tepung & icing sugar together. Masukkan garam & kacang yang dah dikisar tadi. Gaul.

3. Masukkan minyak, gaul sampai jadi doh. 

4. Sediakan baking tray. Line your tray guna parchment paper atau butter.Preheat oven ke 180deg c.

5. Uli bulat-bulat(nak guna acuan pun boleh, akak malas tak sempat :P). Letak kacang, penyekkan.

6. Bakar sekejap dalam 8-10 minit. Keluarkan, sapu kuning telur. Bakar semula dalam 8-10 minit lagi. Selepas itu dah boleh ngap :D

Saiz & bentuk tak sama tu bukan comot tapi kreativiti tau. 

Haa nampak tak? Biskut majmuk. Baru meriah :P

Walaupun rupanya tak menawan sangat gorgeous, tapi rasa memang  melatop!

Sekian terima kasih untuk entri kali ini. Selamat mencuba ye. :) 

Carrot Pineapple Cake Recipe

• It's been awhile since I had my last baking session. Yesterday, while buying some fruits at Life supermarket, I suddenly remembered a recipe that I have been wanting to try. It was the pineapple that actually triggered my mind.

• I went home and quickly looked for the recipe. This recipe was taken from Allrecipes.com. I've tried baking a few carrot cakes before. However, after trying out this recipe, I think this is the best so far. 

• The cake is rich and moist. I actually liked it even without the frosting because the cake itself is flavourful with the taste of carrot and pineapple.

• I reduced the amount of sugar and I didn't add the coconut and walnut(didn't buy them earlier).  

• Seriously, you should try this recipe especially if you're a fan of moist cake. It's simple and yummy! So, don't forget to give it a try folks!
