Purple sweet potato wholemeal loaf (version 1)

I noticed that creating bread using potato turns out very soft and moist.  You do not need any starter dough at all, from my past experiences.

Almond biscotti

I love biscotti, any kind.  It is always good to go with coffee. Absolutely free from guilt as it's only egg white and no butter..
What do you think? :)

Salted pistachio truffles

A little bit of sea salt makes it so yummy! I love these truffles, a recipe taken from Women's Weekly. Next time I would certainly roll it into larger size, not teaspoon size anymore... also, not to forget add in heavy cream..

Artisan bread ( basic white)

I have heard of 5 minutes Artisan bread a lot so I gave it a go the other day. Basically you stir and mix all ingredients and leave it overnight for enough fermentation in the fridge. Next day, just thaw and shape it, let it rise for some time before oven baked.  It turned out O...K..., hm.. I must say I found it a little dense and heavy.

Pineapple Tea Cake

This is quick and easy baking. It may not looked appealing, but I tell you, it is really delicious. The pineapple syrup that is infused into the cake is absolutely wonderful. You should try it.

Here is the recipe:

450g can crushed pineapple in syrup
125g butter
1 1/2 cups (225g) self- raising flour
1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar
1 egg, beaten lightly
1/4 cup (60ml) honey
1/4 cup (20g) desiccated coconut


Methods:

1.    Grease deep 20cm round cake pan, line base with baking paper.
2.    Drain pineapple over a jug, reserve 2/3 cup (160 ml) of the syrup.
3.    Melt half the butter.  Combine flour and sugar in medium bowl; stir in reserved syrup, melted butter and egg.
4.    Spread cake mixture into prepared pan.
5.    Beat remaining butter and honey in small bowl with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Stir in pineapple (mixture may curdle).
6.    Spread over cake mixture in pan, sprinkle with coconut.
7.    Bake in 180 degree oven about 1 hour.
8.    Stand cake in pan 5 minutes, turn onto wire rack, invert onto another rack to cool.

Black sesame wholemeal bread

I love my Sunbeam bread machine! I bought it 3 months ago, ever since then I have not stopped baking everyday, sometimes twice a day! It helps me to reduce time in my kneading, rising time and I'm certainly having a big sigh and relief after all.

Peanut Butter Crinkles

Peanut butter crinkle

This is my family's most favourite biscuit. The recipe is taken from one of my Women's Weekly collection. It gives you such a wonderful peanut aroma especially when it is eaten fresh!
