I was not supposed to bake anything else but CNY goodies. But I couldn’t help trying out this new bread recipe that I found. Because I desperately needed some “healthy” breakfast.
Well it’s not exactly healthy in the strictest sense, because obviously it’s made of white bleached flour. And sugar. Pure carbohydrate. But at least I know for sure it’s free of preservatives.
And the best part was, I didn’t have to do any kneading. Thanks to Kenwood Chef. And the result was good :)
It rose very high and the texture was very soft, and it tasted great. At least for the first 2 days.
As I didn’t use any chemicals, the bread hardened on the 3rd day. And strangely this recipe is not suitable for making toasts. It’s just good eaten steamed. Anyway, I’m not complaining. It’s like the most successful and frills-free bread I have ever baked. Shall bake this again with healthier ingredients.
And since the oven was on (haha… there I go again), I attempted another vanilla cupcake recipe. Another one that claims to be NYC Magnolia’s original recipe. I cut the sugar in half – and it was GREAT. Honestly I have forgotten how the real Magnolia tasted (it was delicious and aromatic, that’s all I can remember). This was good. Even without the frosting. The right texture, the right sweetness. Yes I think I have found IT… The best vanilla cupcake recipe. Happy happy.
