Hi Aunty,

Your bread is so perfectly done. Is a great challenge for me to bake a bread. Still can't figure out what went wrong, wheather is the recipe (Cream Cheese loaf and Orange Bread) or the breadmaker? I used the dough cycle to knead and prove the dough but each time it turn out to be to sticky to handle. I already reduce the liquid by 15ml. I'm going to give up on my breadmaker. My mixer can do a better job.

Hi Liying,

Make sure you are using bread flour to make the bread. Check your flour...shouldn't be a problem.

Hi Aunty Yochana,

So envy you. I always failed in my bread. Tired more than 20 times or so, using bread machine to proof the bread. Most of the time, the results were quite dry, like two days old bread ... ...

I tried Prima and Baking King Bread Flour. Both results are the same. Guessed I needed to be more hardworking, needed to hand kneaded again after proofing fm machine!

Inspired by your yummy picture! Will try again tonite. Keeping my fingers crossed now.

Have a happy weekends.

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi Mool,

Sometimes it depends on your flour. Sometimes it's more dry. Test the dough with your finger. Poke it and feel the texture that you want. Make a window test by stretching the dough till a transparent look is there. If you find the dough a bit chewy and hard to pull (break all the time), add in a little more water and knead to a soft pliable dough.

Hi Aunty,

I did use bread flour. I used difference brands of bread flour (Sun Lik, Phoon Huat, Baking King, etc). But all give the same result, can't pass the window test.
Aunty, can I knead the dough after proving and do the window test?

Hi Nina,

Good...now you know what is ovalette huh. Next time I'll bring in more for you.

This is bread. Inside - chocolate rice and grated cheddar cheese.

Hi Liying,

After proving, do not knead and break the gluten. The bread will become very coarse. Lightly mould into a ball to let it rest.

Hi aunty,
this is my first time leaving a comment in your blog. I read your blog every morning when I;m sipping my coffee, curious what have you baked yesterday :).
Your roti kasur looks so soft, it reminds me of the one I had when I was back in Indonesia. Can you share the recipe please? I really want to make it.

Also, are you originally from singapore? just curious.

Dear Aunty Yochana,

Your bread is really perfect.
Thanks for posting your wonderful recipe.
May I ask you that this bread no need to use bread improver?
because I see some of your bread recipe used bread improver.

Regards,

Kim

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi Kim.

Bread improver is not compulsory but if you want you can add in 1 tsp of it into the dough.

Hi Aunty,

Why must the salt be added lastly with the margarine? The salt might not mix evenly into the dough.

rgds,

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi Li Ying,

5 mins mixing is enough to mix it evenly but you can always add in earlier but don't add together with the instant yeast as it will kill the yeast's action.

Hi Aunty,
Good morning, here for breakfast again. I tried the Bakpao yesterday, I should consider it turn out ok lah but not as fluffy as yours. It is a bit yellowish I think it could be the margarine I used instead of shortening. I mixed for quite some time but is the still sticky I think the next time I should mix longer until it is totally not sticky at all. Anyway I very happy, thanks for your recipe & thanks for posting the recipe for Roti Keset I like it too & will try later when time comes. Thanks again.

Hi Aunty,

I've always been horrible at making breads... but I'm hoping that one day I'll be able to make fluffy bread like yours. My breads always turn out tough and dense..

I don't have a mixer and knead by hand. Any tips on the consistencies I should look out for?

Thanks

Regards

Aunty Yochana said...

HI cyrene,

Kneading bread dough with a powerful machine normally yields a better bread than using hand.

Can you try by throwing the dough hard onto the table top till they are not sticking. This is one of the method when not using machine.
