    Home Made Bread

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients:

      • 5 cups flour: Provides the base for your dough. Use all-purpose flour for the best texture.

     

      • 2 cups warm milk: Activates the yeast and helps create a soft, tender dough.
      • 1 cup of oil: Adds moisture and richness to the dough, making it soft and flavorful.
      • 1 tablespoon dry yeast: The leavening agent that helps the bread rise and gives it a light texture.

     

    • 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar: Feeds the yeast and adds a slight sweetness to the bread.
    • 1 teaspoon salt: Enhances the flavor of the bread and balances the sweetness.

    For Boiling the Dough:

      • 2.5 – 3 liters of water: Enough to submerge the dough completely during the boiling process.

     

    • 1 teaspoon salt: Adds flavor to the boiling water, which helps season the bread as it cooks.

    Instructions:

    1. Prepare the Dough:
        • In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy. This indicates that the yeast is active.
        • Gradually add the flour, salt, and oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a sticky dough forms.

       

      • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, adding more flour if necessary, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
    2. Let the Dough Rise:
        • Place the kneaded dough back into the mixing bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

       

    3. Shape the Dough:
        • Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. Divide the dough into equal portions, depending on the size of the bread you want to make.
        • Shape each portion into a round or oval loaf.

       

    4. Boil the Dough:
        • Bring 2.5 – 3 liters of water to a rolling boil in a large pot. Add the teaspoon of salt to the boiling water.
        • Carefully place the shaped dough portions into the boiling water, a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pot.

       

      • Boil each portion for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until they puff up slightly and become firm.
    5. Finish the Bread:
        • Remove the boiled dough from the water using a slotted spoon and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a greased surface.

       

      • Let the boiled dough cool slightly before slicing or serving.
    6. Serve and Enjoy:
      • This bread is best enjoyed warm, fresh from the pot. Serve it with butter, jam, or as a base for sandwiches. The unique texture and flavor will make this a favorite in your household.

  • Fried Rice That’s Even Better Than Restaurant Takeout

    Fried Rice That’s Even Better Than Restaurant Takeout

    Ingredients:

    3 eggs, whisked gently

    1 big carrot, peeled and cut into small pieces.

    2 teaspoons of sesame oil

    1 little white onion, diced

    3 pieces of garlic, finely chopped

    1 cup of frozen peas

    3 tablespoons of butter, separated.

    4 green onions cut into small pieces

    1/4 cup of soy sauce (and add more if needed)

    3 teaspoons of oyster sauce

    4-5 cups of cooked and cold rice

    Salt and pepper.

    Instructions:

    Heat a big pan or wok on medium heat. The author mentions using both a nonstick and a regular pan, but they lean towards using a nonstick pan for cooking this rice. Put one tablespoon of butter in the pan. After the butter has melted, put in the eggs that have been lightly beaten. Let them cook for around 30-40 seconds or until they are firm, then mix them. Once the eggs are done cooking, take them out and put them to the side.

    Put the rest of the butter in the pan. When it’s hot, add the carrot and onion. Cook until they are soft. Then, add the garlic and cook until it smells good, being careful not to let it turn brown. Increase the temperature a little and put in the leftover rice and peas. Cook the mixture for around 3-4 minutes until it sizzles and starts to brown slightly. Then, add the eggs, green onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, and oyster sauce. Continue cooking for a few more minutes until the mixture is warm. Add salt and pepper to taste, then serve right away.

  • Creamy Layered Delight: The Perfect No-Bake Biscuit Pudding Recipe

    Creamy Layered Delight: The Perfect No-Bake Biscuit Pudding Recipe

    Ingredients

    3 cups (700ml) whole milk
    1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
    4 tablespoons cornstarch
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    2 packets of digestive or graham crackers (or any plain biscuits you prefer)
    1/4 cup butter (optional, for extra richness)
    Crushed biscuits or graham crackers (for topping)

    Preparation

    Step 1: Prepare the Creamy Custard Base
    In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, and cornstarch. Whisk them together until the cornstarch is fully dissolved, ensuring no lumps remain. This mixture will form the base of the pudding.

    Turn on the heat to medium and stir the mixture continuously. As it heats up, the mixture will thicken. This usually takes about 5 to 7 minutes. Once the pudding thickens to a creamy, custard-like consistency, remove it from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract for a touch of flavor and richness. If you prefer a slightly richer custard, add the butter at this point and stir until melted.

    Step 2: Layer the Biscuits
    While the custard is cooling slightly, crush half of your biscuits or graham crackers into fine crumbs. You can do this by placing them in a ziplock bag and gently crushing them with a rolling pin, or by pulsing them in a food processor.

    Take a deep dish or baking dish (preferably glass for presentation), and spread a thin layer of crushed biscuits on the bottom. This forms the crispy foundation for the pudding layers.

    Step 3: Layer the Custard
    Once your biscuits are in place, pour half of the custard mixture over the biscuit layer. Spread it evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon. The smooth, creamy custard contrasts beautifully with the crunch of the biscuits.

    Step 4: Add Another Biscuit Layer
    Now, crush more biscuits and sprinkle a second layer over the custard. Be generous—this adds extra texture and flavor!

    Step 5: Top with the Remaining Custard
    Pour the remaining custard over the top biscuit layer. Gently spread it out, ensuring that the biscuit layer is fully covered and sealed in by the rich custard.

    Step 6: Finish with Crushed Biscuits
    To add the finishing touch, sprinkle the top with more crushed biscuits. This gives the dessert a lovely crunchy texture that complements the creamy filling.

    Step 7: Chill and Serve
    Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until fully set. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together and gives the pudding a more cohesive texture. For best results, you can even leave it to chill overnight.

    Tips for Success:
    Cornstarch consistency: Make sure to whisk constantly while heating the milk mixture to avoid lumps.
    Layer variation: You can add more layers of biscuits and custard if desired for extra height and texture.
    Flavored twist: Feel free to add a dash of cinnamon or cocoa powder to the biscuit layers for an extra flavor boost.
    Serving Suggestions:
    Once the pudding has set, it’s ready to be served! You can cut it into slices for a neat presentation or scoop it out with a large spoon for a more rustic look. The combination of the cool, creamy custard and the crumbly biscuit layers is sure to be a hit with anyone who tries it.

    Why You’ll Love This Recipe:
    No-bake: This is a perfect dessert when you don’t want to use the oven.
    Minimal ingredients: With only a few pantry staples, you can whip this up in no time.
    Customizable: You can experiment with different biscuits, toppings, or even flavors in the custard.
