    Yochana,

    So fast yet again.

    To order from the shop @ Holland Village, we need to call at least 1day in advance, now, it's less than 24 hours since I MSN and you have it made! Amazing ~ wink ~

    Keep it up !

    Hi Aunty,

    Saw that you have tried out Florence's 'Chocolate Wassant', it so nice, make me hungry. Did you used 'Tang Zhong' in your dough? How is it? Did you use cake mixer or your new bread machine? I'm going hunting for a breadmaker tomorrow.

    Hi LiYing,

    i used Thangzhong. I followed florence's recipe to the T.

    I used my dough hook. My bread machine is hibernating lah...
    Do let know if you get a new bread machine. I think i need to buy a new one.

    hi Aunty, recently I see alot of egg-white-cakes coming out from your oven! They look so delicious and healthy, which is very suitable for my parents. May I know which recipe book are you using? I want to buy them to try the recipes out because I know itis quite troublesome for u to post every single recipe, right?
    I come from Ipoh,Malaysia. Can tell me where can I buy it?
    Thanks in advance, aunty!
    Love you! May God bless you and your family.

    Hi Aunty,

    Just came back from Carrefour. I have bought the breadmaker, Kenwood BM256 Usual $269 Now $238 if paid by POSB Mastercard enjoy 5% cash rebates. It uses plastic blade. It has almost the same funtion as the other brands. Lazy to go around hunting. So happy, I have my new toy. Will find some time to test it out and let you know how is it. Happy baking.

    Hi Aunt Yochana,
    You've done it again! ;) I also just saw Florence's 65C method but was too busy to try during the weekend. I must try it next week. I went to PH to buy the bread loaf pan with cover. Will wanna try the TZ method on the cheese earthquake bread. Wish me good luck! ;)

    Hi Passionate about Baking...

    Cheese Earthquake Bread?? Woah..that sounds interesting. I guess you have thin covering on top of the bread than as you bake, it cracks...like an earthquake.

    Hi aunty, yes, the wassant is very laku, esp at Central. I have just started to make bread, must try a few more times to gain confidence before moving on to TZ.

    Hi Aunt Yochana,
    Hahaha! That's not the way the Cheese Earthquake bread is! It's sold in Breadtalk. Ever since I know how it's baked, I don't buy from Breadtalk anymore. You may click and see a picture here: Heehee...

    Hi Aunty Yochanna,

    I have been a silent reader for your blog for the past few months and really impressed by your bake.

    I have wasted so much money buying this wassant from Provence so I hope to be able to bake it on my own.

    I read that you did not use a bread machine for making this wassant. Can you tell me the steps for making the dough part as I never tried baking bread so far?

    Please email me at javiergoh2004@yahoo.com.sg

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Javier's Mom.

    I threw everything into my cake mixer and let the dough hook do the work.

    It's pretty easy..don't worry.

    Hi Aunty

    The dough was abit moist and then to stick to my fingers. Is the dough suppose to be like this? I can't shape it properly.

    Hi rosalynn,

    At first it's sticky but as you knead...they become pliable and smooth and doesn't stick to the hands anymore.

    The tip is to get "ANGRY" with the dough. Throw and slam it hard onto the table top again and again (as if to punish it) and it will listen to you.
