I'm a full-time mummy

Last year, I wrote about a look back into my home-cooked journey so far. Then shortly before the end of 2014, I wrote a post on my preparation when cooking. Then I thought, "Why not snap a picture of before start cooking and the final results after cooking?"

So, here you go..

Top part of the picture is the ingredients all ready to be cooked on 6th February 2015.

For this post, I am sharing my 1st breadmaker recipe, Home Made White Bread. We were out grocery shopping at Tesco when hubby beckoned me over to have a look at some breadmakers sold there. After a quick Whatsapp session with my buddy (she's using one too), we decided to get the Tesco breadmaker (model BM10). I got this recipe online and followed it exact to the dot.

Ingredients:
* 1 1/3 cups of room temp water
* 1 tbsp of sunflower oil (for my 2nd attempt, I replaced this with VCO)
* 1 tsp of salt
* 2 tbsp of sugar
* 3 1/3 cups of bread flour/high Protein flour/high gluten flour
* 2 tsp dried yeast


Methods: 
* The key is to put in the liquid ingredients, followed by semi liquid and finally the dry ingredients. So add water follow by oil, flour, salt and sugar.
* Tap the pan lightly to settle the flour.
* Make a small hole at the center of the flour heap. Add the yeast there.
* Lock the breadpan in the bread maker.
* Set the program to "Basic" follow by loaf size and select the crust color. (I didn't change any settings, and leave it as default)
*  The bread maker will complete the task in 3 hours.

Outcome:

This recipe is definitely for keeps!
