I was so determined to make bread that I woke up at 5.30 as I do on weekdays. And I did it! So happy :)
I did one recipe of sweet bun that I learnt in my breads course. Totally love my Kenwood mixer! Here's to many more bakes using the Kenwood! I got the Titanium Major, the bowl's huge at 6.7 litres. But you'll never know when you need a big one, and since I'm buying this for long term use, might as well buy a very good and reliable one. Bosch seems good too with a huge power output.
Anyway. Here are the pictures!
So after mixing the dough in the mixer for about 12 minutes, here it is after some kneading using the hand. Left for proofing for an hour. Good thing I can use my counter top to knead dough! It doubled! So happy!
I asked my son if he wanted to punch the dough, he touched it instead -_-
He didn't want to punch it because he said it was sticky. Haha.
Knead and then design, I made into butter buns and raisin cranberry rolls. Got 10 x 60g buns plus an extra of 20g. My buns turned out okay but the rolls were supposed to be knotted but I failed on design. Oh wells. This is before proofing for another hour.
A good thing my little girl was sleeping throughout the whole process! She woke up just as I finished buttering the buns after baking. Perfect!
Ta-da! Looks sooo good! The smell of bread baking is awesome too.
Had a bite to see how it was. Yes fluffy! But some parts stuck to the pan. Probably next time I'll flour the pan after oiling.
Gonna try the coffee bun next! Super excited because I love coffee buns! Love love this new-found confidence haha. Next to tackle is swiss meringue buttercream, and probably macarons one day.
