I am not a fan of beetroot, but I love how intense its colour is. It’s a natural colouring agent, so I decided to make bread with beetroot. The beetroot at my local supermarket comes like this – covered in soil and lacking any leaves. I briefly nuked it the washed beetroot in the microwave,…
Remember the first time I ever baked anything, it was in a microwave oven? Recently my microwave oven broke down, so we bought a new one. Nothing too fanciful, just a regular 27litre 1100watt microwave oven. To christen this new appliance, I decided to go back to my roots and bake something in it, defying…
My sister recently bought a $3-loaf of tomato herb bread by Gardenia from the supermarket. We loved the bread. But being the cheapo when it comes to food, especially bread, I found it too expensive. I’m not the kind to pay good money for well, air pockets in flour mixture you know. I had to…
Some of you might know, this my third attempt at Pao de Queijo, otherwise known as Brazilian Cheese Bread. I was taken to this because I was intrigued by how it uses tapioca flour instead of wheat flour. Lucky for me, tapioca flour, also known as tapioca starch, is widely available here in Singapore. Also…
I bought two boxes (125g) of blueberries from Cold Storage the other day thinking I would make some blueberry muffins using real fruits this time, unlike that last and only time I made stuff out of a box. Also, I recently read a blog post by Happy Home Baking about berry muffins, and the recipe…
I haven’t fired up the oven for some time, but since I’m not too keen on making sugary things, I decided to try my hands at making lasagna. Being the overachiever-wannabe that I am, I decided to also make my own lasagna pasta sheets instead of buying premade from the store. This dish is completely…
I haven’t fired up the oven enough recently, and so I was at the supermarket with my sis and we decided to buy this instant muffin mix as a joint activity with the little niece. The Betty Crocker Pouch series has smaller portions, and we chose the Triple Berry muffin which just requires us to…
Just a short post to convince myself that I need to get out of the baking rut – I made cheese and sausage bread together with my niece. I designed it and built it while she embellished it. The cheese is cheddar by the way. I never knew shredded cheddar can be so tasty baked;…
Let’s face it, making croissant in 31°C Singapore weather is tantamous to sticking up a rolling pin up a certain rear orifice. When the recipe called for me to beat and soften the butter, I was close to making some kind of silent prayer that the butter is not boiling in my hands. It’s moments…
The first bake of 2009 was also some sort of bread, cinnamon rolls to be exact. Maybe I can make a habit out of this, making bread within the first week of the new year. This time round I made bread cones – cone-shaped bread. I came across a recipe from Home Cooking In Montana…
