  • Malted Sultana and Apricot Bread

    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.

  • Cranberry, Almond and Walnut Bread

    Cranberry, Almond and Walnut Bread

    I had leftover natural yoghurt in the fridge I’d like to clear out before it goes bad. Looking through the recipe book that came with my Kenwood BM450 machine I saw this recipe, and I had all the ingredients (or their substitutes) on hand, so here we are.

  • Italian Herb and Parmesan Bread

    Italian Herb and Parmesan Bread

    After years of using my trusty Kenwood BM250 breadmaker, I did the stupidest thing. I let the breadpan sit in a sink filled with just a couple of inches of water. It wasn’t that much water, but it was enough for rust to build around the paddle rotator, and it became stuck. No amount…

  • Weekend Cooking: New York-Style Bagels

    Weekend Cooking: New York-Style Bagels

    It’s so hard to find good bagels in KL. I can name a couple of bakeries selling it, but can’t say they are particularly spectacular. One day I had a major craving for bagels, so I looked up a few recipes and picked up the one by Sophisticated Gourmet, which didn’t seem too complicated…

  • Weekend Cooking: Khaliat Nahal (Beehive)

    Weekend Cooking: Khaliat Nahal (Beehive)

    To me, cooking is a way to destress after a long week slogging at the office.  Making bread, however, is what I find most enjoyable.   When a bread recipe appeared in Saudi Food Eman’s Facebook feed, I knew I had to try it ASAP.  I mean, bread stuffed with cream cheese and drizzled with syrup?…

  • Weekend Cooking: Roti Golok

    Weekend Cooking: Roti Golok

    I saw this recipe on Facebook some time back.  Apparently it was something that was going viral here in Malaysia.  Looking through the ingredients it did seem quite yummy, so I started writing this post, with some small adjustments and notes. It took me two tries to get this right, using my trusty old…

  • Weekend Cooking: Breakfast Biscuits

    Weekend Cooking: Breakfast Biscuits

    For the Breakfast Mac and Cheese I needed a quick and simple breakfast biscuit recipe, because I just wasn’t willing to fork out 20-plus ringgit to buy the frozen ones from some upmarket grocer.  There are probably other better recipes out there, but this one gets the job done. I find rolling out the…

  • Make Your Own: Basic Pan Pizza Base

    Make Your Own: Basic Pan Pizza Base

    When making my Pull-apart Stuffing Rolls, I originally just wanted to use ready-made pizza dough, and bought some from the store.  I thought nothing of it, but when I finally took the dough out from the fridge, to my horror the stuff I bought turned out to be pre-baked pizza crust, and was therefore…

  • Weekend Cooking: Extra-Buttery Dinner Rolls

    Weekend Cooking: Extra-Buttery Dinner Rolls

    Lately I’ve been trying to make my own roti paung, and I searched through the net for different ideas to experiment with.  I still haven’t found the right recipe so far, but during one of my experiments I accidentally created these buttery dinner rolls which, I daresay, tasted better than the Parker House Rolls I…

  • GobbleFest 2016: Pull-apart Stuffing Rolls

    GobbleFest 2016: Pull-apart Stuffing Rolls

    When having roast turkey, one usually would have it with stuffing.  Even though I butterfly my turkey and therefore there’s nothing I can stuff my stuffing into, I usually would still make stuffing on the side.  So far I haven’t found any stuffing recipe that Rudy actually liked, and dinner wouldn’t be complete without dinner…
