Bread Making Lesson 3

Focaccia and Calzones
Focaccia (foh-ka-chi-ah) is a popular Italian flat bread similar to pizza, usually seasoned with olives and herbs and can be topped with cheese,meat or vegetables. Its soft will definetly give this a try. Accordingly to Chef Judy, Greek eats this as part of their meal and they live a very long life, the dough contains low in fat and sugar.

Calzone is a stuffed or folded pizza originating from Naples. The dough can be filled with an assortment of cheeses, meat and vegetables. It looks like our local curry puff, but trust me our local version is so much better then Calzone. I doubt I'll try this at home as no one seems to like it.




Pizza
This is the only dough we tried to knead with hand, and its fun !
I always imagine kneading with hand is tedious n needs lots of strength,
but its not, I'll definetly try this at home, probably allow my children to knead manually.

Swedish Limpa Bread
Limpa bread is a traditional Swedish Rye Bread flavoured with molasses,anise and orange peel. It is moist and flavourful and goes well with naturally sweet spreads such as cream cheese, jams and preserves.

Bread Making Lesson 2

Creative Culinaire Lesson 2, we baked many kinds of bread Pork Floss, Raisins Bun, Tuna Buns, Sandwich Loaf and Doughnuts. Very interesting but tiring. We finished at 6.30pm, and the instructor still thinks we are quite fast compared to other batch she thought so she gave us an extra recipe to let us try at home.

AnyLock

Igot my friend to buy this Anylock from Japan, it makes my pantry looks neater using this as compared to the one bought from Ikea. And its easy to use, juz fold it n slide to lock it, that's it.

Susage Buns

This is suppose to be my homework for the classes I attended at Creative Culinary.
The teacher Judy Koh was asking the class to compare this texture to the one we
use in class. My children was enjoying shaping and decorating the buns.
I added cheese to the susages.

Pineapple Tarts

I've been craving for pineapple tarts lately. Every Chinese New Year, I would hunt for Pineapple tarts that meets my criteria, but everytime its either too sweet for my liking or the pastry its too dry.
After searching through the internet I finally found one that doesnt use sugar on the tart.
Proudly present my first trail of pineapple tarts. The only complaint was it crumbles easily and melts in your mouth and down your throat that you could hardly taste the flavour - very "kua zhang" right that was describe from my the other half.

I'm still improvising on the texture, will try again another batch soon.

Cheese Twists, Pandan Ampang Red Bean, Chocolate Spirals,
Sausage Rolls & Amond Twists.

Peach Cheesecake

My children's favourite cheesecake. They specify that they would like to have this for my birthday, so my helper made this to satisfy their craving. The greatest gift I have received its the two cards drawn by my children. I was really touched to receive their handmade card and their thoughts written on their card. Its more like at thankyou card to me.
