Here are 8 tries (in June and July this year) of bread making using Cornell bread machine bought on promotion for only RM299. Above is first try, i think it is some flour mixed with water and left it to autolyse for few hours before adding in flour.

mix in flour

then put on ‘dough’ function of the bread machine

Roll out dough individually and put on slices of cheese

done, looks ok but taste so dry and not nice at all
2nd try:

Above is quite good recipe of using a “roux” mixture. The roux mixture being 100g of bread flour mixed with 70g of boiling water, add more boiling water if the roux mixture is dry.

made into roll with sweet potato filling

looks nice

very good texture
3rd try:

making 2 potato bread using 2 recipes


forgot what is the difference between 2 recipes…

This is the more “liquid” recipe whereby the dough is very soft and more moisture

the left side is the one with less moisture and the individual rolls are less glued to each other

done

both bread are very soft, too soft for my liking though, one of it is very much “kuih” texture
4th try

making sausage roll using recipe using “roux” again

nice and soft
5th try:

filled with yam

6th try:

2nd time making bun filled with yam, and also filled with steamed mini ayamas sausages. Using a different recipe, remembered it to be just ok

8th try:

Below the complete bread recipe (roux technique) which i used
Basic Sweet Bread dough from Alex Goh “Magic Bread”
A
100g bread flour
70g boiling water
B
300g bread flour
100 plain flour
80g sugar
6g salt
20g milk powder
9g instant yeast Put on TOP
C
175g cold water
60g cold egg (I replaced with cold water)
D
60g butter (When all ingredients come together, pour in the melted butter, continue kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic)
1) Add boiling water from A into flour, mix until well blended to form a dough. Cover and set aside to cool. Keep it into fridge for at least 12 hrs. (I only left it in fridge for 1 hour)
2) Mix B until well blended. Add in C and knead to form rough dough. Add in A and knead till well-blended.
3) Add in D and knead to form elastic dough
4) Let it proof for 40mins or longer till it double in size, roll into loaf, Brush whisked egg on surface. Bake in a pre-heated 180C (356F) oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until turns brown. Remove from the oven and transfer onto a wire rack. Let cool completely.
5) Else divide the dough, mould it round. Rest for 10mins, then shape into buns/loaves, let rise until doubled and then bake at 350F.
