Our Daily Homemade Bread
For more than a month, Daddy has not bought a loaf of bread for himself but instead he has been eating home made bread. As for the girls, they are not really bread eaters, and they do not like wholemeal bread. If I baked sweet bread, or rye, I’ll make sure they have it for breakfast as well instead of their usual Koko-crunch or toast made from High-5 bread.
Here are some of the photos of the bread which I baked from then till now, and I think I’m getting the hang of how the dough works.
My 1st wholemeal loaf.. looked horrid right? Although edible.
2nd attempt, still not so attractive, look wise.
3rd attempt, YES!
Sweet white rolls.
Daddy likes the wholemeal walnut bread, so I made it again, replacing 1/2 cup wholemeal flour with wheatgerm.
Made focaccia for dinner using a recipe from the The Pauper Chef, it came out very bland, but that’s because I didn’t put any topping besides coarse sea salt. Daddy liked it though.
This is my favourite. Love the crust colour, and the purplish hue on the bread from the rye flour.
Using the sweet bread recipe, I added ground black and white sesame for some nutty flavoured buns.
Then last weekend, I tried to make coconut buns.
Daddy loved it (but he has to encourage me, or I’ll stop baking).
My MIL, FIL and SIL said they were nice.
My dad said no standard (not enough coconut it seemed).
My sis said it’s ok.
So you know who the critic is.

I think hubby encouragement is very important lo, otherwise, no more home baked bread.
I am a bit lazy to bake bread, have to wait for it to proof and proof – take too long.
You can try to bake the Bushman bread from Outback Restaurant. Taste wise, very similar. And it tastes so good to spread on butter. Yum Yum.

I like to make bread. Your house must smell really good all the time. Your family is so lucky.
This is really great and I, too, am a bread maker, albeit recently.
I have been trying to find out where I can get rye flour. I lived in KL/Kajang. Would you be kind enough to recommend where rye flour can be bought?
