seventh bake

jan19, 2020 super soft milk bread loaf time: i started (mentally) at 7:35pm and enjoyed around 11:46pm. it still wasn’t completely cooled when i cut it. (see below for replaced things and recipe i followed)

i made a video for this post actually, here... it did NOT turn out the way i imagined AHHAAH.. it turned out to be a hard exterior, soft inside..tasty..bread.

As you can see! :D ... Err... can you picture a fluffy regular bread loaf? That was what i intended.. and it came out to be this large larva..slug looking thing.

Well it sliced ok! not bad for some kind of bread actually! and can you see a lil face? D: cute cute.

I mean... it doesn’t look too bad when I sliced all of them! Whee!And they actually tasted good! Just not as a fluffy...super soft..milk bread loaf.. but i am pretty proud of myself.. welps. better next time! *also, i mentioned that i was baking loaf and improvised chocolate cake from prue leith's chocolate mini roll cake recipe-- that will be in my '8th bake/ hidden video' in my next video& post !

recipe i followed: https://youtu.be/rLec1qGY8l0 replaced things: brown sugar i.o. regular sugar, oat milk i.o. whole milk, all purpose flour i.o. bread flour.

first bake

first bake was “chocolate mini roll cakes” by prue leith.

dec 7, 2019 saturday

Wow, I had no idea what I was doing.

Mind you, this is my FIRST TIME BAKING. EVER.

I started around 2:30pm thinking I will have more than enough time until my eye doctor’s appointment which is at 4pm.. NAHP. WRONG. I had to go to doctor’s in the middle of it and then had dinner so.. I got back to baking around 6pm? and finished around 9:30pm =__=!!!! I guess 45min was for people who know what “folding” and all the baking terms mean and have all the tools and ingredients ready.

I didn’t have any tools, I was scared, doubting myself b/c I really wanted to do this but I was crippled with fear that this is one of the things I say I will do but never get around in doing it, causing me to just feel absolutely horrible at myself.  Anyway, had to get handmixer, mixing bowl, cooling racks, baking trays, baking scale, etc-- things I had no idea that I needed. I thought I can only get the things on the recipe but nooooo I hadn’t had any basics. My husband and I also had to figure out how to melt chocolate, how to use hand mixer, how to use scale, ETC..

So I can’t believe I actually. ACTUALLY baked!!! Crazy of me and I’m amazed by it. It’s magic! Also, it’s hard to roll the cake than it seems... Hehe..

Also, rolling…….. I thought it was easy.. watching from #gbbo…

It does NOT work so well.

It is not easy. It cracked like CRAZY as you can see.. I wanted to throw everything away but nope. I just kept going.. so I can at least eat them in tacked piece and achieve something by sticking to the end! it was a challenge for me. i think i need fluffier texture because my edges were pretty crispy— which, cracked of course. i forgot to use piping bag so i drizzled with spoon! looks like a mummy.

Ha! but I am extremely proud of myself. It tasted GOOD and even my boss at work gave me A++ and that means a lot b/c I regard her taste level very high! i have videos i took but didn’t edit them together. perhaps in the future!

Our first attempt at sourdough bread. Ended up denser than is probably considered "okay" but it's still delicious and looks like sourdough bread. Well worth the 10+ hours to make. 😅 Shout outs to Madame Noob for getting us to the finish line with this. ❤️ #perpetualnoob #noobbakes #contentcreator #twitchstreamer #contentcreatorsgottaeattoo #homemade #homebaker #bread #sourdough https://www.instagram.com/p/CBvexlMDJwL/?igshid=f5cto6yml0d8

2nd time making loaf

time:  started at 5:43pm and finished around 12:50am.

so about..7 hours x_x. note: - i did not use 'milk powder’. - used ‘oat milk’ instead of ‘whole milk’. - i kneaded about 15-20min with help and added more flour as i did. - first prove, 40min. - second prove, an hr and a half. - i killed the yeast because instead of ‘warm milk’, I boiled my milk and it was too hot..... oopz. so loaf...if i can call it.. did not rise.. AT..ALL.... here’s a little clip of the result...

made this on sunday 2/23/2020.

fifth and sixth bake

jan 12, 2020 sunday BRITISH BLOOMER and SOUFFLE PANCAKE

made souffle pancake and enjoyed in between bloomer. started around 4:11pm and finished bloomer, enjoyed around 8:30-9pm

i’ll never double bake like this again

Getting ready to prepare dough for "Bloomer” so i can get started on “Souffle Pancake” while “Bloomer” is proving :).

Salt on one side, yeast on the other, olive oil over.

Cleaned the counter top so I can work the dough! Phew.

Mixing? dough with my hand!

Little blob of casualty.

Whoo. Dough forming. Sticky and wet but Paul says this is ok.

Oil on counter to knead dough. Actually it was so sticky that it was clumping onto my fingers like crazy to a point where I could not see my hands nor move them around.. like boxing gloves. So I added more flour... which I think I made a mistake of.. b/c it felt a bit dry the second time I kneaded it.

Dough back in the bowl and covered for proving.

Now preparing to make “Souffle Pancake”! Yay!!

WARNING: Loud hand mixer whisking video.

Beating egg whites to make meringue. Mmmmmm...

Dough is proving! My baby :).

“Souffle Pancake” dough put onto pan to cook! mmmmmHHmmmm looks sooo FLUFFYYY

Flippin the “S.P”. You can see the jiggles. I should have made them higher though. It is not AS jiggly.

Whoo!!! It’s DONE!!!!!! Not bad for 2nd time I think..

Sharin~

I forgot to take photo when proving was done. It looked fluffy and round~ and it was pulling SO satisfyingly!!

Look at video below. 

Whoo that stretchy goodness. Time to knock all the air out.

Air has been knocked out and I tried my best to kneaded learning technique from Paul. Time to prove again in this shape. As you can see, it looks a little clumpy.. I think it is because I added too much flour before thinking dough was too wet and not it got very dry... :[

Recipe says to prove it in a plastic bag but I don’t have any bag big enough to not let the dough touch the bag when it rises so I proved it in the oven. Heat was not on at all.

Proved! Yay! but it proved side ways, oops. Lol! I wish Paul can tell me what I did wrong @.@.

Sprayed water and put some flour! It felt really soft and bouncy :).

Put slashes with serrated knife but maybe it was a bad idea b/c slashes look really lumpy! :( Eeek..

Anyway! Baking now!!

WHOOOO!!! WHAT!!!!!!!! My first bread!! Baked! Crazy!! It’s REALLL!!!

Dusted off some cooked flour on the outside. Keke. Cooling now.

Cutting! Yeah!!

Annddddd ... there it is :) a filtered photo b/c I realized my cutting board doesn’t look too nice. And my dinosaurs here too :) Tada!!

third bake

chocolate mini roll cakes

jan 1st, 2020 wednesday

this is the one i added 2 more eggs to batter and used cookie sheet that was bigger so that i can get thicker/bigger bake..but somehow the cake came out half rubbery and dark on the bottom and fluffy on top. should i have baked for a longer time? i wish i would’ve taken picture of it but i was too embarrassed. i didn’t even take photo of finished bake. :(

but!! going forward!!! even when im embarrassed, i will take photos and post!  b/c it’s part of learning-- i can look back and see my progress and all!
