Breadmaker Hokkaido Milk Loaf
•
On my last trip to Niseko, Hokkaido, we stayed at the nice and homey Yorokobi Lodge, which had a well equipped kitchenette. Seicomart was just down the road, so we could buy basic staples like eggs, cheese, bread, delicious Hokkaido milk and butter to fix our own breakfast. When we somehow still felt like…

Breadmaker Cheese Bread
•
Been meaning to make this bread for a while now. I love my Kenwood BM450 breadmaker, and I’ve been trying to push it further and seeing how much versatility I can get from it. I’ve made loaves, pau, and dough for breadrolls, so now I’m going to try making bread loaves with swirly fillings.…

Chicken Char Siu with a Pressure Cooker

I’ll make this again using store-bought extract, and perhaps another time using the water from making the pandan extract in the yukone. The rolls were…

Breadmaker Brioche

One day I was inspired to make brioche. So many articles and recipes, and many look super complicated or time consuming. Tempting, but not very suitable when I don’t have much time on my hands. After a few rounds of experimenting with other recipes and modifying them for my Kenwood BM450, I went back…

Easy Dinner Rolls

Over the long weekend I wanted to take my breadmaker for another spin, when Kak’mbang suggested this recipe she found on Youtube. These dinner rolls looked fairly easy to make, and uses basic ingredients most people readily have in their larder.

Malted Sultana and Apricot Bread
•
More breadmaking fun! This recipe came in the recipe books of both the BM250 and BM450, and I’ve been wanting to make it for a long time. The problem was finding one ingredient – malt extract.

Grandma’s Red Bean Filling (Inti Kacang Nenek)
•
If you are attempting the gauntlet that is my late maternal grandmother’s legendary kuih kacang, you can either fill it with store-bought red bean filling to significantly cut the prep time, or you can make it from scratch following her recipe which has been passed down through the ages.
