Traditional Swiss Braided Bread

Though I have baked Braided Bread before (quite a while ago), but this striking recipe really strike me hard!!  The next morning, without much ado, I quickly prep all the ingredients, and here comes a loaf of fancy-beautiful Braided Bread; just couldn't wait for it to cool down, slice into it and enjoy! YUM-YUM!!


The full recipe can be obtained by clicking this link here.

Milk Butter Toast

What's up for breakfast, the first meal of the day?  Came across this recipe from Kitchen Cookbook.  Thick-cut bread toasted to golden perfection and brushed with a sweet, creamy butter glaze!  Grab hold of butter, condensed milk, milk and salt; and 2 slices of my recent baked Sourdough Honey Oat Sandwich... Breakfast is served ~ YUMMY ~


Ingredients:

For the toast:

2 slices thick-cut bread


For the milk butter glaze:

25 g unsalted butter (softened)

1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk

1/2 tablespoon whole milk

A small pinch of salt


Methods:

  1. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the milk butter glaze.  The consistency should be thick enough to spread but soft enough to melt easily into the warm toast.  Set aside.
  2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat.
  3. Melt 1 teaspoon of butter for added flavor and golden color.
  4. Place the bread slices in the pan.
  5. Toast each side for 2-3 minutes, pressing gently, until the surface is crisp and golden brown, but the inside remains soft.  You are aiming for a texture like grilled cheese sandwich: crisp edges and soft centre.
  6. Once the toast is freshly toasted and still hot, place it on a serving plate.
  7. Immediately spread a generous layer of the milk butter glaze across the top using a butter knife.  The glaze will begin to melt and soak into the warm toast, creating a glossy, buttery finish with a caramel hint.
  8. You can add slice fruits as topping; sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the glaze before serving; add crushed nuts over the top; serve warm toast with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top or add 1/2 teaspoon matcha powder to the glaze.  I did not use any of the above mentioned options, as my tummy is calling out loud "feed me now!" A cup of freshly brewed hot coffee is enough to go with it.

Coffee Buns (Kopi Roti)

This happens to be one of my favorite Buns to bake and enjoy with a cup of freshly brewed coffee, any time of the day.  Recently, I came across this  recipe from foxyfolksy.com, and since I have a bottle of MOCCANA Classic medium roast coffee in my pantry, there is no second thought. I grab hold of all the needed ingredients which are readily available in my pantry and put my baking gear into it.  Tadaaa...

 

When baking this recipe, I am revisiting the recipe for the Buns which I have baked on 19th September 2024,  click here for the recipe.

For the Coffee Caramel Topping recipe, I use the recipe from foxyfolksy.com.  Click the link here for the full recipe.  If you prefer to make use of the whole recipe from this link to bake your Coffee Buns, feel free to do so.  I am incorporating the 2 recipes from 2 different sources to bake this Coffee Buns (Kopi Roti) recipe during this round of baking.

Braided Matcha Streusel Milk Bread

Another Matcha Bread which caught my attention!  The original recipe uses red bean paste as the filling, but I am using Matcha Streusel instead, being a huge fan of Matcha ~ SMILE ~


In October 2023, I baked this Yummy Matcha Streusel Bread, and love the delicious filling.  So, for this Braided Matcha Milk Bread, I decided to use the same filling, but with a smaller portion as listed below:

70 g. unsalted butter

27 g. caster sugar

20 g. whole egg

34 g. cake flour

47 g. milk powder

4 g. Matcha powder

Click this link here for the instructions to make the Matcha streusel filling.  For the Milk Bread recipe, click the link here for the full recipe.

Let me share some photos captured throughout the process of baking this delicious Braided Matcha Streusel Milk Bread.

Green Matcha Bread Loaf

Since I still have leftover good quality Matcha Powder in my pantry, I will not let this beautiful GREEN colour Bread Loaf pass by without  baking it.  I love the rustic top of the bread, it appears hard while just out of the oven, but once it cools down, it is a delicious, soft and fluffy bread ~ Love It! ~

I am glad to share the beautiful photos which I captured throughout the process of baking this great bread. For infomation, I lightly add some chocolate chips into the dough.
