Good day dear all~ I returned to work this morning as usual after being 9 days stay-at-home-mom. I couldn't sleep last night. Finally slept at 1am and this morning alarm rang at 4.35am. I felt that my throat was quite dry and lots of phlegm. I knew I gonna have sore throat soon. So I quickly took a pack of reserve fruit gel to boost my immune and I am totally great at this moment. (touch wood...no sick) 

As the previous day I made doughnuts for my gal and she had finished all...and request some more. So, today i baked her pandan flavor doughnuts... i just baked them not frying..

Breakfast: Pandan Cheese doughnuts and fresh milk

lunch: hananese chicken rice + watercress chicken soup

teatime: potato rings

大家好。今天我重回到工作崗位了，做了9天全職媽媽。昨晚凌晨1點才睡著，今天凌晨4點35分起床。我覺得我的喉嚨很乾燥，多痰。害怕生病的我，喝了一包白藜蘆淳水果凝膠來提高自己的免疫力。由於前一天做了甜甜圈給小公主，她非常喜歡也吃清光了。吵著還要。所以，今天我烤了香蘭味的麵包甜甜圈...不是油炸的..

The stunning killer bread 

Ingredients:

150g egg+milk (eg. 97g milk + 53g egg)

10g pandan juice extract

30g cane sugar 

2g salt (I used pinch only)

260g bread flour

3g (3/4 tsp) instant dry yeast

30g unsalted butter (cubed, cold)

egg wash:

1 tbsp egg + 1 tbsp milk

topping:

shredded cheddar cheese

some cane sugar

Method:

By bread machine

1) Place all ingredients except butter into the bread pan according to the above sequence (salt and sugar at opposite of the pan)(make an indention at the centre of the flour and add in yeast).

2) Select 'Dough' program, beat for 20mins, press stop. 

3) Reset to 'Dough' program again, add in butter, beat for 10mins.

4) let the dough rest inside the bread pan for 10mins. Then remove dough from the bread pan.

5) divide dough into 5 pcs of 65g dough. Use roller pin to roll out flat then roll from side then seal well. place on greased or lined baking tray and leave gap in between for fermentation. Proof for 30-40mins or till double the size, brush with egg wash and sprinkle cheddar cheese and some sugar on the surface.

Remaining dough I made into doughnuts: Roll flat the dough about 5mm thickness, use doughnut cutter to cut out. place on greased or lined baking tray and leave gap in between for fermentation. Proof for 30-40mins or till double the size, brush with egg wash and sprinkle cheddar cheese and some sugar on the surface.

萬人迷超軟麵包食譜

材料:

150克蛋奶：雞蛋+牛奶（如97克牛奶+53克雞蛋）

（ 先量雞蛋液的重量，才倒入牛奶，我還先舀起1湯匙的蛋液作表面刷用）

10克 濃縮香蘭汁

30克蔗糖

2克鹽（ 我只放一咪咪而已）

260克 高筋麵粉

3克（ 3/4茶匙）速發酵母

30克 無鹽奶油

用手揉的做法：

1. 將所有材料(奶油除外)倒入鋼盆中攪拌搓揉成為一個不黏手的麵團

2. 將奶油加入繼續攪拌搓揉成為撐的起薄膜的麵團。

麵包機做法：

1. 將所有材料順次序(奶油除外)倒入麵包桶裡，用“麵團”功能攪拌20分鐘，按停。

2. 然後加入奶油，再重複“麵團”功能10分鐘，攪拌攪拌至能成為撐的起薄膜的麵團。休麵團10分鐘。

3. 把麵團分割成5份65克的小麵團，用擀麵棍擀平，然後捲起收口。間隔排放在烤盤上發酵30-40分鐘或雙倍大。刷上蛋液，撒上刨碎的車達乳酪和一些有機蔗糖。

（剩餘的麵團我做成甜甜圈：只需把麵團擀平成5mm厚，用模具割出甜甜圈，間隔排放在烤盤上發酵30-40分鐘或雙倍大。刷上蛋液，撒上刨碎的車達乳酪。

4.  放入預熱到180度c的烤箱中烘烤15分鐘或金黃色即可。

Bake doughnuts

Ingredients

½ cup + 2 Tbsp warm milk

1 tsp active dry yeast

1 Tbsp butter

50g sugar

1 egg

350g cup Bread flour

1 tsp cinnamon powder 

pinch of nutmeg 

CHOCOLATE DIP FROSTING

100 g any chocolate (at least 40% cacao)

5 tbsp of milk. 

Instructions

Mix all dry ingredients and set aside. 

In a bowl, cream sugar, and butter. Add egg and mix until fluffy.Add the flour mixture and slowly add the warm milk until dough if formed.

Dump dough in the counter and knead a few times for about 10minutes, adding flour or milk if needed. It should be soft, smooth and only slightly sticky. Do not overflour. Form into a ball and place in a greased bowl and cover with cloth or towel and let rise for an hour or until it has doubled its size.

Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured counter up to about half an inch thick. Cut out circles using a doughnut or round cookie cutter. (Im using drinking cup) Transfer the cut doughnuts into the baking sheet lined. Cover the tray and let them rise the second time for about 45 minutes. ( i let it rest in my oven ) You can cut smaller circles from the leftover dough and bake them with the holes as is or roll them all together one more time to make more doughnuts.

Bake the doughnuts at 375°F/180°C for

10 minutes. Bottom should only be slightly browned while top is still pale. This makes it more chewy.While doughnuts are baking, prepare the dip frosting. 

Combine the chocolate and milk in a small bowl. Heat in the microwave or (boiling cooking methods) for 10 seconds and then stir until the chocolate melts completely. U can add more milk if too chuncky and thick but not too watery.Heat for another 5-10 seconds if not warm enough but not more. 

Once the doughnuts and dips have cooled down to room temperature, dip the top half of the doughnut in the frosting then put them back in a tray as they might drip a bit. Design or top with whatever or however you fancy but be quick before the frosting starts to set.
