I am a full-time working mum to 2 boys. I really enjoy baking and cooking and it feels so satisfying when my family enjoys my baking and cooking.

Bread
Made these last night for the boys and hubby. But office colleagues got to eat some of the bread too as I had too much at home. Used up all the coconut filling at last to make them into coconut buns. I know the boys won't want the coconut buns so I made some sausage buns for them.
Your bun look like those selling in Spore bakery shop. I miss it though. Can you share the bun recipe please? Are you hand kneading or machine kneading?
I enjoy reading your blog. Your baking is really fantastic. Natural yet good looking. Your family must be very proud of you. Thanks for sharing your recipe. I like the pineapple tart in round shape, very cute!
Hi Baking Mum, I'm new here, I like your blog. love these buns. I make a similar recipe and I use sausage and feta cheese mix for filling, but never tried coconut. They look delicious. I'm gonna try it soon. But I couldn't find the ingredients for the coconut filling. Can u share it please ?
Why is it my bread has a 'yeasty' smell after it is baked? Is yours like that? The bakery doesn't have those yeasty smell,, is it because it is over proofed?
Also the bread hardens quickly. Thank you for your wonderful blog! jen
I also have National micro wave oven with convention bake. Need your advise, must we remove the round rotating glass plate? Or you use the baking tray on the centre rack for baking cakes & bread? Thanks.
Can we use hand to knead the dough as I do not have the machine,have only small cake mixer with a pair of hooks. How come the more I knead the dough became more sticky, & how long should we knead? Thanks
I asked you to advise me whether must remove the round glass rotating plate from our micro-wave oven when baking cakes & buns? Also the rack should be at middle or below of the oven?
Hi Anonymous, you can use hand knead but it will be very sticky as the recipe calls for quite a fair bit of sugar. It will be easier and less messy if you use the heavy duty machine to do the work.
Yes, when using conventional baking you have to remove the glass plate.
I have been reading this blog for some time. Wanted to let you know that. I am a fan and enjoy your post. I see this bread it looks like it will be a fun and interesting bread. My mother makes coconut filling bread for diwali each year and everyone in our family loves it. I think I need to spend more time next time & follow your advice.

ReplyDeleteHi Baking Mum,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe. I didn't know this recipe was from Alex Goh's book. I bought it but left if at my home in Msia.

HI,

Hi Jen, of course you can link me. The bread I made don't have the yeasty taste. It smells great because of the butter used.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if over proofing was the reason why the bread smell yeasty.

Hi Hugbear,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your advise, btw we just place the baking tin on the middle rack or below when baking cakes & buns?

Hi Hugbear,
ReplyDeleteWhen baking cakes & bread our baking rack should be at the middle or bottom of our microwave oven?
Thanks
anonymous
Place on the lower rack.
ReplyDeleteHi Hugbear,
ReplyDeleteSorry, I just remember my National microwave oven has only 1 rack in the middle of the oven. So how to place on the lower rack? Thanks

ReplyDeleteJust place it at the rack you have. Mine also I only have one rack. The uppper rack is impossible to use as it is too near to the heating element.
ReplyDeleteHi Ernest M., you have a mom that can bake, you should learn from her.
