Wholemeal Garlic Foccacia 全麦葱香佛卡夏 （中英加图对照食谱）

In a mood to make some bread and decided on foccacia, instead of the usual olive, tomato and rosemary, I have added minced garlic and parmesan cheese powder. I have also added wholemeal flour to make this Italian flat bread more wholesome and healthy. It turned out super fragrant and nice! 😋 In fact while it was baking, the roasted garlic aroma filled the whole house!

心血来潮想做面包，就用直接法做了这佛卡夏。这次不像平常放橄榄，番茄和迷迭香，反而放了大蒜和帕梅森起司粉更加美味！😋 烘焙时，香气充满了整个屋子也！太喜欢了！

Wholemeal Butter Buns 全麦奶油餐包 （中英加图对照食谱）

Softest, fluffiest, tastiest wholemeal buns I have ever made & eaten!
最柔软蓬松好吃的全麦面包 !

It's spring time and flowers are blooming everywhere. For the first time, here in hot sunny tropical Singapore, we actually got to see the cherry blossoms flown in from Japan at Gardens by the Bay's Flower Dome. Prior to this, I only saw cherry blossoms when I visited Japan and Korea during spring time.

I was excited and visited the Blossom Beats (sakura floral display) last week with my buddies, Emily and Elean, and we were awed by the many varieties of cherry blossoms as seen in the photo below.

Tangzhong Wholemeal Buns- Easter Ducklings 汤种全麦小餐包- 小鸭造型 （中英加图对照食谱）

Wishing all my readers a blessed Easter! 祝大家复活节快乐！

I was in a creative mood and inspired to create some chick buns but it ended up looking more like ducklings instead...lol! It's amusing looking at the batch of ducklings after it has 'hatched' out of the 'incubator'. I was just thinking that it is too cute to be eaten when my little boy came over, took one and bite off the 'duckling head' and commented, "Hmm...yummy!" I had a good laugh!

心血来潮想创造有趣的造型面包，原本打算做小鸡造型的, 做出来却比较像小鸭。。。呵呵！看着这些‘孵化’的小鸭子们逗得我好开心，心想这么可爱怎么舍得吃呢？这时，我家的小朋友走了过来，拿起一个，把整个"鸭头"咬掉，说：“好好食噢！” 笑到我。。。

Charcoal Cheese Bread 竹炭起司面包（中英加图对照食谱）

This is my first time baking bread with charcoal powder. I first saw charcoal bread in Taiwan's bakery shops many years ago. Activated charcoal is well known for its detoxification benefits, In fact it is an ancient way to cleanse the system as it is the most absorbent material to get rid of toxins and impurities from the body. Bamboo charcoal has become a popular ingredient in cooking and baking. Besides bread, you can find charcoal snowskin mooncakes, charcoal pastry, charcoal ice-cream etc. Charcoal is almost tasteless and it is good to use as a natural colouring too.

Quick & Easy Breadmaker French Loaf 简易法式面包机食谱（中英加图对照食谱）

This is my first time using Baguette flour to bake and I love the taste and texture of the french loaf which this flour has yielded. The baguette flour besides suitable for making baguettes & french loaf, it is also suitable for sourdough and all types of crusty artisan bread as it is able to give a rich flavour, crusty outer layer and great inner holes.

My hubby who loves artisan bread gave a big thumbs up for this french loaf using the baguette flour as he loves the texture so much more compared to the Breadmaker Wholemeal French Loaf which I have baked using bread flour previously. I foresee myself to be baking bread more with this baguette flour to please my other half. ;)

Click 'HERE' for the list of stores where you can buy this baguette flour.

Earl Grey Tea Loaf 伯爵茶面包（中英食谱教程）

It's been a long time since I shared a breadmaker recipe. I have not forsaken my Kenwood breadmaker, it is still working hard for me baking loaf bread twice a week. I have not shared a new breadmaker recipe as I have been sticking to my basic loaf using the Wu Pao Chun Champion Toast breadmaker recipe. Being the host for this month's Little Thumbs Up event with the theme 'Tea', I decided to try out a Tea Bread recipe (茶叶面包）from a recipe book - 我爱面包机 (I Love Breadmaker). I have chosen to use Earl Grey tea. According to Wikipedia, Earl Grey tea is a tea blend with a distinctive citrus flavour and aroma derived from the addition of oil extracted from the rind of the bergamot orange, a fragrant citrus fruit. The loaf turns out wonderfully aromatic and tasty!

Chocolate Hot Cross Buns 巧克力热十字面包 （中英食谱教程）

Have not been baking bread using the oven for quite some time (been relying on my breadmaker to churn out loaves on alternate days though) and I wanted to bake a batch of chocolate chips hot cross buns for Good Friday. However, it turned out to be chocolate hot cross buns instead! As I have added cold Hershey's chocolate chips (left half a pack and was kept in fridge), it must have melted during the kneading process in the breadmaker. Despite this, the buns turned out to be so soft and delicious and my girl commented that it tasted like Petite Provence chocolate wassants!

好久没用烤箱烤面包了，（不过每隔一天还是会用面包机来做面包的），昨天的受难日正想烤一批巧克力豆热十字面包来吃。谁知道竟然烤出巧克力十字面包来！应该是用了从冰箱拿出来的Hershey's 巧克力豆（剩下半包所以保存在冰箱里），在面包机搓揉阶段时融化了，变成巧克力面团。即使这样，面包做出来很柔软又好吃！女儿说，吃起来味道很像Petite Provence 面包店卖的巧克力小面包呢！
