This is my project of documenting food during my study in UK 2012/13 under Chevening Scholarship. Many friends have requested me to do this and I think it's a great project to pick up. Who says study abroad means instant noodles, fast food restaurants and eating out all the time? Who says that it has to be fancy, expensive and time consuming.... hehehe... let's break that with a little bit of TLC from your own kitchen.

Enjoy!

Homemade Bread with Cheese filling



I have always wanted to make bread for 2 reasons: My husband loves bread and cutting down on budget. Therefore, in the spirit of procrastinating in my final essay week - where every mundane thing became increasingly interesting and 'important', I tried out this amazing recipe that remarkably made me the talk about the house - because my daughter and husband lined up in front of the oven just to wait for the bread to finish baking. I must say thank you and give the highest acknowledgement to Mbak Hesti HH whose recipe I use, I did make some changes based on what's available... Thank you Mbak!!... Thus in the spirit of Dora the Explorer I want to say... "I DID IT!!! I DID IT!!! I DID IT!!!".

Ingredients:
400 g High Protein Flour
100 g All purpose flour
120 g Granulated Sugar
1 sachet Instant Yeast
2 tbsp Powdered milk -- I didn't use
3 egg yolks
1 tsp salt
75 gr salted butter
225 ml warm milk

Filling:
Cheese cut to match Sticks shapes or grated

Glaze:
2 egg yolks
1 tsp milk

Direction:
  1. Mix all the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, powdered milk, yeast) in the mixing bowl.
  2. Attach the spiral or the bread mix hook to your mixer. Put in the egg yolks one by one when mixing the ingredients with the egg. 
  3. Add the salt and salted butter. Keep mixing until it is elastic 
  4. Fermented it by covering the dough with a damp cloth and put in a warm place for about 30 - 45 minutes
  5. After it grows double to its size, punched it down. Cut and weigh the dough to 40 gr each. or just eye ball them to similar size that you prefer (no bigger than your fist)
  6. Fermented again with the same manner for 45 mins. 
  7. brush the glaze to the top and bake in a 200 C/400 F/ GM 4 for 10 minutes or until done. 
  8. Take it out of the oven and brushed with butter or margarine

2 minutes (Microwave) Bread Pudding for 1


OK I am really addicted to the Minutes Microwave cooking. So here's another brilliant recipe to make use of those last slices of bread which sometimes become stale and ended up in the bin.

Source : 5 Minutes Recipe

Make 1 mug (microwaveable) of bread pudding or 3 small ramekins



You'll need:

2 slices of Bread (stale one is OK)
1 Egg
3 Tbsp Sugar - I use 2 Tbsp
2 Tbsp Milk
2 tbsp melted butter or margarine
2 drops of Vanila Essence (optional)
A  dash of ground Cinnamon









How to:
  1. Melt the marg/butter. 20 secs in the microwave will do just fine. 
  2. In the meantime, tear up the bread into your container - microwaveable mug or ramekins or anything you have on hand that can be use in the microwave
  3. In a different bowl, mix the egg, sugar, milk and melted butter/marg and vanilla. 
  4. Pour the mixture into the bread. Press them down a but with a fork so the bread soaked up all the mixture
  5. Springkle some ground cinnamon on top
  6. Pop in the microwave for 2 minutes (800W power).
  7. Let it cool a bit... and Enjoy....




The Cinnamon make the whole room smell wonderful while it is cooking.
I recommend you make this easy peasy recipe. It takes 2 mins to cook and about 3 mins to prep. So All in all a 5 mins of yumminess.. -
