SANDWICH BREAD (improvised)
Source : Kak Pah of Shamin Oven
| Quote: | Boiled Dough :
100 g bread flour
120 g water
Method :
1. Bring the water to boil, stir the water so that the temperature is even.
2. Add in the flour. Remove from heat.
3. Keep stirring until a dough is formed. Leave to cool. |
Ingredients :
100 g double cream/fresh milk/ ideal milk (I used fresh milk)
300 g chilled water
2 eggs
12 g salt
* 1 kg bread flour (if you want a whiter bread, use pau flour)
* 8g bread improver (* sift together)
50 g refine sugar
15g dried instant yeast
10 g voltex or soft pro.(I substitute with bread softener)
Boiled dough – (refer the above) shredded
120 g butter or shorterning (for whiter bread, use 60g butter + 60g shortening)
I added : Food coloring - yellow, pink and green
Method (Bread Maker) :
1. Pour the fresh milk, chilled water, eggs and salt into the bread maker pan.
2. Top it with sifted flour and bread improver, sugar, instant yeast, bread softener and shredded boiled dough.
3. Set the bread maker to DOUGH function. Once the dough is just combined, add in butter/shortening and leave the Breadmaker to continue doing it's job. This process will take about 1 1/2 hour including prooving.
4. Remove dough from breadmaker and divide into 3 equal portions. Add one color to each portion. Leave to rest for 15 minutes.
5. Roll each dough to 1 cm thick. Stack the rolled dough on top of each other and roll like the swiss roll.
6. Place in the loaf tin and close the lid, leaving just a bit of opening. Leave to prove till double the size.
7. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 C for 40 minutes. Baking time and oven temperature may differ depending on your oven.
Note :
1. I made 1/2 the recipe. By right, the size of my loaf tin should only fit 1/3 of the recipe.
2. I used all purpose flour in this recipe

Sweet Dinner Rolls + 44!
|

Yup.... I am 44 today.... can't fool the age because which ever way I turn it, it will still be 4 and 4! Hahaha...
SWEET DINNER ROLLS/LOAFS
Source : Donna West @ AllRecipes
Ingredients :
1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1/2 cup warm milk
1 egg
1/3 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1/4 cup butter, softened
Directions :
Place water, milk, egg, 1/3 cup butter, sugar, salt, flour and yeast in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select Dough/Knead and First Rise Cycle; press Start.
When cycle finishes, turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough in half. Roll each half into a 12 inch circle, spread 1/4 cup softened butter over entire round. Cut each circle into 8 wedges. Roll wedges starting at wide end; roll gently but tightly. Place point side down on ungreased cookie sheet. Cover with clean kitchen towel and put in a warm place, let rise 1 hour. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until golden.
How I prepared my loaves :
I only used the 1/3 cup butter and omit the 1/4 cup butter as mentioned in the recipe above. Let the bread maker do it's job. Once the dough has doubled it's size, I took it out of the Bread Maker and divide the dough into 2 portions. Make into balls and let it rest for 10 minutes. Roll each ball flat, then roll it up like a sandwich. Place in the baking pan and let it prove till double the size. Sprinkle with a bit of water and bake for 20 minutes till golden brown. Once out of the oven, brush with butter. Place on a wire rack to cool. Keep in an airtight container to avoid it becoming hard and dry.
How Fatin prepared her so-called Subway Sandwich...
Cut the bread in half. Arrange some lettuce, then three slices of fresh tomatoes, two pieces of Turkey sliced (grilled slightly), a piece of smoked cheese slice and finally with some lettuce. Enjoy!
