Sweet Buns -Pisang Keju Coklat-

Actually I didn't plan making this bun. ^^
I was making martabak manis, testing my pan from Indonesia. One of the ingredients that I used was yeast, I got the recipe from youtube. But well It was like it's not gonna be that good. I saw bubbles and when it's cooked, it's risen too but the sponge was not like I wanna it to have. The taste was like bread lol. Indeed it's more like to bread texture. 

So after I made 1 pan done then I switched the batter into sweet buns. Just adding 1 cup of bread flour and 1 tbsp butter, salt, sugar. 

I was worried that the yeast that's from the batter of martabak was not enough to make this bread doubled size. But it turned out good!^^
I filled these buns with jack cheddar cheese, nutella and plantain. 

Love it! I could make use of the martabak batter into sweet buns!No wasting! ^^ Happy!
Alhamdulillah.

Cheese Buns

Never get bored with sweet bread! Yummy!
This time I made cheese buns with mozzarella filling. 
Same recipe and methods here. Just added lil grated cheddar cheese on the dough when mixing the last touch. It was testing and turning out to be good. ^^

 

Mozzarella cheese

Got to learn about cheese here. Hubby said it's good but you have to eat it warm. I like jack cheddar cheese in chiffon cake. Maybe if I wanna make cheese buns again I consider it to be the filling.

I always love watching my bread risen, doubled size.

This time I waited the same 4 hours but first 2 hours I filled the bread with mozzarella cheese, shaped them and then left them in oven with light on only to keep them warm and let them rest to be doubled again for another 2hours.

 

Blueberry Buns

This is the condition of over nite buns after in the fridge and warm it in oven for 5min and I poured the glaze on top

Pinterest is another place I could browse recipe with pretty nice pics. I'm eager learning making sweet bread and glad I got it. ^^ 

The texture is still soft tho over nite

I don't know how many times I made sweet bread so far, but this time is the first I used bread flour. Looks like I should always use it if I wanna make bread. This dough didn't have egg in it but the texture Oh my.. soo pretty! Just like in the stores. ^^ Ready opening bakery cafe ?? LOL 

Got plenty of blueberries from my friend and not really into Pies. I know I could use it for smoothie. Hmm just wonder with bread.

After browsing, finally I found the one that's interesting but in German language I guess. Thinking of my sis and Voila she translated it. Thanks sis!

The idea was rolls actually on that recipe, but hey this is my first trial, should have tried the simple recipe first hahaha nice excuse. 
Actually I couldn't make the berries stay in the rolls so I changed it to buns. *It seems because I didn't add butter, so they don't wanna stick in the dough* 
But I love this dough result. I'm gonna make this recipe as basic sweet bread from now on.

Love the texture!

Ingredients A
130g bread flour
20g yeast active
200ml milk
1 tsp honey

Ingredients B
260g Bread flour
65g sugar
1/2 tsp salt
75 Butter, melted

Filling
450 g blueberries fresh
2 tbsp flour
2 tbsp sugar
25g Butter 
Lemon zest

Methods
Ingredients A : Warm the milk and pour yeast,honey sugar and flour. Cover it for about 30 min.

Mixed ingredients A and B in a mixing bowl till it becomes smooth. Cover it and leave it in room temperature for 4hours.

Prepare the filling. Shifting the flour over the berries, fold it with other ingredients.

Punch the dough that's been doubling size so the air comes out. Divided the dough and flattened it and fill it with blueberries. *I'm gonna try next dough to wait for another developing tho who knows*

Arrange the dough that's been filling in a round cake pan that's been greased with butter or margarine. I used cheese cake pan. Brush it with whisked egg. Baked for about 30-40 min.

I just love seeing the result! It was quite late but I kept taking pics. Haven't even tasted it. ^^

Let's see if I could take another pics tomorrow morning hmm with better style. Yea right I'm stuck with style most of the times. ^^

I pour the glaze over the buns. I browsed the glaze how to, it's easy haha I never know how to make it before. It's only 1 cup of Confection sugar or powder sugar mixed with 2 tbsp of milk. I didn't add any flavor. 
Hmm looks good! I hope it helps the sweet sensation over lil tart blueberry.^^

I can't believe I made this buns without egg but the result is soft and tender. ^^ Sooooo happy! Alhamdulillah.





  

Roti Sosis

I always love bread! Especially sweet with the filling. 
Here's my story of cooking today!

Having red Ferrari makes me wanna learn more about bread. ^^
I watched on youtube about shaping the bun into interesting ones. And easy!

I wanna fill it with my 100% beef sausages I got at Costco. Hot dog there is the only one I dare eating and yummy, thank God. I got it plain no adding mustard, mayo, onion etc. Just with the bun.

I wanna try having beef sausages in my cooking. But first thing first is on my bun.

Here are some pics I could take during the process. First, I made the yeast mixture first. 1 cup warm milk, with 1 tbsp dry yeast, and adding  2tbsp butter, 3/4 granulated sugar, 1/2 cup vegetable oil. Mix together and let it rest for about 5min.

In a bowl of standing mixer, I pour 4 cups flour,  2tsp of salt and 1 large egg. Mixed in low speed with stirring paddle. And pour Yeast mixture.

The recipe said if the dough is sticky, add 1 tbsp of flour one in a time.

Exchange the stirring paddle with dough paddle. When the dough is ready, prepare the board that's been pour with vegetable oil. It's better than flour so the bread will be not dry.

Prepare a bowl that's been sprayed with spam or cooking oil. Cover it and let it rest till doubled size.

Cool! It's doubled size and not sticky!. Now shaping the dough. It's fun! I browsed lots of videos how to shape it. ^^ mind my ugly shaping lol still learning. I only used 2 sausages for my trial here.

Ohh I  hope it works and yummy!

Ready to bake!
I swapped top with bottom!. Wait for another couple min.

Voila!! Fresh from the oven.

 Smells so good and yummy!

Hubby just got back home and tried 2 buns since I haven't cooked for our meals. He loves it.

 I love it!

The slice of sausage for this shape is hidden in the middle. Before baking I added green onion, tomatoes, seasoned with black pepper, pinch of salt, and olive oil. I should put onion too but I didn't have it. Smells even better.

Roti Goreng Abon

Alhamdulillah, making bread is a piece of cake now! I can say it out loud. (*_*)
Indeed practice makes perfect.

I always love bread. Back in my countries, there are plenty of bakeries with lots of varieties of sweet bread with lots of yummy fillings.

This time I made it without eggs! Really? I doubted it also but here it is!
Got the recipe from one of the members in DAPUR AISYAH that I follow in facebook.

Ingredients

250 gr all purpose flour

1 tbsp sugar

1/4 tsp salt

63 gr margarine

150 ml warm water

1 tbsp yeast 

Panko flour

Filling

I used shredded beef 

Maybe next time I can make chicken ragout 

Methods

Pour the yeast into warm water, put aside.

In another bowl, mixed flour, margarine, sugar and salt 

Pour the yeast liquid.

Knead it till no dough sticks in the bowl
*i lifted it, not too high and smashed it back to the bowl, hard enough. Do that several times till no dough that sticks around the bowl. The bowl is really clean even to the edge.
It's good exercise when i was angry to somebody or myself lol*

 

Divided the dough into several pieces, maybe each 40gr, if you wanna measure it.

I made 11 pieces for this recipe.

 Prepare a cookie pan that's been greased with spam cooking oil lil bit.

Take big pinch of the dough, flattened the dough on the pan and fill it

just one tbsp of filling
 closed it tight.

Do it to till the rest of the dough, make sure you have space for them to develop.

Let them rest for about 1hour.

After one hour

Prepare another cookie pan that's been brushed with water.

Take one dough carefully by pinching the bottom part coz it will be sticky but still can be lifted.

Rolled it on a damp cookie pan till you feel all surface is wet.

Rolled it in a Panko flour evenly,

do it till all dough finish.

Prepare the pot with enough cooking oil

for deep frying it.

Fried till golden brown.

Served it with sriracha sauce because this is not sweet bread. I like it spicy with the shredded beef inside. I didnt make spicy shredded beef,next time I will. >_*

 

Roti Manis

Fresh from the oven

I love sweet bread with variety of fillings. Too bad in USA I couldn't find "breadtalk" sort of famous bakery store in Indonesia! I miss it a lot. 

So here I am working hard to make my tummy happy *lebay* >_<
I have one left over ripe banana still and wondered what kind of snack I could make with it. Browsing again and I had youtube friendly site.

I always wanna shape bread into pretty one. I learnt how to do it via youtube. It's not that hard tho. I guess I watched this Braided bread video.

I filled the bun with small sliced of banana n chocolate flakes. But the braided one just empty but since the dough is sweet already so I guess it would be yummy. Anyway I should learn more later if I can fill it. 

Ingredients

250 gr flour

2 egg yolks

50gr sugar

1tbsp dried yeast

30gr butter

1/4tsp salt

100ml milk

1 egg for last touch, brushing before baking

Filling 

Banana, Cheese, Chocolate flakes 

How to

I should have watched it on youtube before, 

It is way easier than what I did

Here is one of the videos I watched

Just follow the instruction! I will do that on my next project!

Roti Sobek Gandum -Whole Wheat Sweet Bread Rolls

I have Whole Wheat flour that's been sitting in my cabinet. Wonder what to make with it. Got the motivation after watching America's Test Kitchen. Tho I didn't follow all directions :P

I used my friend's recipe instead. The basic recipe of Roti Manis. 

Ingredients

200gr Whole wheat flour *I used king arthur's*

50gr all purpose flour

1tsp salt

2tsp yeast

 2egg yolks

50gr sugar

Mixed well 

add

100ml milk

25gr margarine

Knead the dough well

I might not really good in kneading it or the whole wheat flour needs different treatment. 

According to my sister, I need to beat the dough like old people used to make bread hahaha since my dough is not really developed double size but just tiny bit LOL.

After waiting for about an hour, well I just crossed my fingers to bake it. 

I pinched some dough, filled it with nutella, cheese what ever you like. Wrapped it well, make round shape till the rest of the dough. 

Prepared the pan that has been coated with cooking spray pam or margarine. 

Arranged the dough not too close to each other, enough space to develop so they will stick to one another once it's cooked. 

Brush with eggs. Add cheese or sprinkled chocolate for topping. Baked for about 30-40min till golden brown.
