ella baking bread for the first time

Been eager to bake bread for a while now and finally got to it today. I have never bake bread before and well... there's always a first time for everything. I'm thinking Hot dog buns, cheese buns and chocolate buns. Derrick only thinks about Pork floss buns. =P


Kneading is hard work. Because i do not have a dough maker, i have to hand knead. And Derrick helped me out on this. This is pure pure hard hard work..... bread is tough to hand knead until a smooth dough.


After 2 rounds of 1 hr of proofing, aka 2hours of rising. Here's how they look before they go into the oven.


Tada.. Golden brown bread buns fresh out of the oven


and the special bread - Pork Floss on the bun. Ermm... we used mayonnaise as cream so that the floss will stick to the bun. I know, it's sinful but it taste good.


See who's sinking his teeth into the pork floss bun

*Warning* do not attempt this if you do not have a dough/ bread maker, it takes ard 45min of hand kneading to get a smooth dough
