Pineapple bun is a staple in any Hong Kong bakery. When I was young, I loved going to these Hong Kong bakeries, grab a tray, tongs and pick all the breads you want. At the time it was about $0.50 to $0.75 at bakeries. My go to bread was a red bean bread, coconut cream bread, beef curry bread and pineapple bun. Now that inflation…
Update: I actually made some changes to the recipe. Originally I used tapioca starch for the Korean Mochi Bread but I found Cassava flour which worked so much better. If you haven’t already guessed it, I love desserts that are bit chewy and slightly sweet. This sesame Mochi bread is definitely up my alley. I’ve seen these been sold in Korean supermarkets. They are usually…
Pumpkin pancake is one of my favourite dessert. It can be easily made and stored to be eaten at a later time. While pumpkin is more available in the Autumn, if you are able to buy in year round, you can make this anytime. It has natural sweetness so you don’t need to add a lot of sugar to it. It’s also a great snack…
In my teen years I refuse to eat anything that was made of white flour. Everything had to be whole wheat. As I got older, I stopped caring about eating everything whole wheat. I started to crave white bread. While I still buy whole grains loafs, once in a while I crave for a soft and sweet bread. A milk bread definitely hits the spot….
While with peach jam, it can be simply used a spread on toast but there is some much you can do with the peach jam. One of the channel I follow, Nebokgom, she made an apple jam filled cookies. I thought to myself I should make peach jam cookie. This recipe for peach jam cookies only has two component cookie dough and peach jam which…
I have another recipe to use the red bean paste. This one is pretty well known dessert from Japan called Dorayaki. It’s basically red bean paste sandwiched between two pancakes. If you know Japanese manga series Doraemon then you know dorayaki is Doraemon’s favourite food! What is Dorayaki? The modern dorayaki originate from Ueno district of Tokyo in 1914. However this confectionery has been around…
I love watching baking videos, I find it particularly relaxing. There is Korean YouTuber that I watch quite often, which goes by “Nebokgom”. There was one dessert that caught my eye. This was dacquoise, particularly Ang-Butter Dacquoise. This is made with dacquoise cookie with red bean paste and a thick butter slice. I really enjoy this cookie because it’s not super sweet with airy texture….
I always loved baking and that amplified during the pandemic. One of the first recipe I made for this blog was baguettes, specifically Vietnamese baguettes. Before I attempted to make the baguettes, I needed to do a bit of research. While most bread requires flour, water, salt, yeast and sugar there are specific methods of working the dough and baking that makes each bread different….
