Olive, Sundried Tomato & Basil Bread
This is my 1st attempt to make the "Olive, Sundried Tomato & Basil Bread". This is made by olive dough. In order to make it taste good, I bought an extremely good quality extra virgin olive oil (fruity flavor) which is made in Italy. It did not need to be the most expensive one. The sun dried tomato is from Italy too. Of course, the basil is from my little garden. These three make perfect bread.We love this bread so much that we could finish...
Fresh Yeast Quest & Corn Flour
I started baking when I was in standard 5. I baked my first butter cake when I was about 10 years old. However, my serious (professional) baking adventure started when I owned a house & built a full-fledged baking kitchen. You really need space to store all type of baking tools or equipment. Sometimes, I need to think more than twice before buying any new tools due to the space constraints. Trust me. It can run out of space very fast. Besides...

Stir Fry Udon I
Sometimes when I ran out of idea to cook for lunch, I will just simply use my wok to stir fry some noodles. Furthermore, my hubby & child love fried noodles. Like it or not, they will finish anything I cook. =>Noodles are great comfort food. You just need to chop up “any things that you would like to clear stock from your refrigerator”- vegetables, meat, seafood, chili, eggs, onion, ginger, garlic & scallion. Don’t forget the main cast-...

Dough & French Bread
Last week has been seriously busy for me. We have run out of bread & we need to make bread for weekday breakfast. For almost 3-4 years, we only eat homemade bread. Normally, we will freeze the extra bread in the freezer & bake it again when we want to eat it. All homemade bread are without food preservative, it can't keep well in room temperature for more than 3 days. We have high moisture level here, so it is not advisable to keep bread...

Fougasse - Artisan Bread & books
Recently, I am really into bread making. The fermentation smell of the yeast is so addictive. While I am baking the bread, my little daughter will come to me as usual when the oven is releasing the aromatic smell. She would ask, "What are you baking, I want to eat it when it is done". Oh yes, it does make my kitchen smell like a bakery.I have been searching high & low on store bought "real" bread or how to make a "real" bread. Finally, I managed...
