Homemade fresh bread

There's a new kid in town! And this kiddie makes freshly baked bread for the family.

From the manual, seems like these are just some of the variety of products I can achieve with this new kid. Doesn't it look yummy? Just makes you jump into the mood straight away to work on it!





Having brought home at 1pm, both my friend and I excitedly went to get some of the ingredients needed to make bread. Most of the names were unheard of before, luckily the shop assistant guided us to make the right purchases. It wasn't very exciting to try and make white bread, so we decided to be adventurous and selected the "Fruit and nut bran loaf" recipe to work on.

Measuring and weighing the each of the 8 ingredients separately wasn't too much fun though. How nice if there's another appliance which can do that for me.. I guess that appliance caould have only spelled something like "M A I D".

It was rather easy for the next few steps. Just dump the ingredients in, close the window panel, switch on, press select button to select the appropriate program and press the start button.

Only a dumbbell would take longer than 5 mins to figure how that works with the easy-to-use panel here. I guess I was the dumbbell, no doubt.



About 3 hours later, the aroma of the fresh bread can be smelled. The bread turned out like this...






Not bad for my very first try on homemade bread, eh? 3 people ate it and said "Ichiban!" "Very good" "Excellent!"

I have to give the credit to the bread maker and the easy to follow recipes.

Also, the bread maker not only make loaves, it is programmed to make
1. french bread
2. cakes/ quick bread
3. dough (pizza, naan bread, croissant)
4. jam as well

Like to bring this kid home too?

The bread looks really nice and yummy. Maybe this new invention will become a kind of threat to the bakery business?

My Friday favorite time of the week

 Long ago, I used to look forward to every Friday 5.30pm. I would rush to prepare dinner and settle all that was needed to be done before 4....
