Today is my first time learning a recipe at a cooking workshop. This workshop is called "by Joanne Stylish Baking", but they only have classes for baking, they have classes for other types of cuisine: Taiwanese, Italian, French, etc. I'm enrolled in another class this coming Friday!! Yay!
It was a pretty cool class. The recipes today were Cake Bread or Bread Cake... Well it's ok to call it both ways I guess... =.=" The other one is Bread Log. Unfortunately, the recipe is not what I expected... It's another Bread Log, not the one I first tried at Times Square's Backenheim, which have close down already... Sad~
Cake Bread
Ingredients:
“Bread”
| Warm Water | ¼ cup |
| Sugar | 25g |
| Instant Yeast | 1 tsp |
| Bread Flour | 150g |
| Butter | 25g |
| Honey | 1 tbsp |
| Egg | 1 |
| Eggs | 2 |
| Egg Yolk | 1 |
| Sugar | 100g |
| Honey | 1 tbsp |
| Pastry Flour | 100g |
| Baking Powder | ½ tsp |
| Water | 2 tbsp |
| Melted Butter | 2 tbsp |
“Bread”
1. Add yeast and 1tsp sugar into warm water and set aside for 5-10 minutes.
2. Pile up the flour and dig big well, stir in rest of sugar, honey, butter. With your finger, blend the ingredients in the well until combined and occasionally stir in some of the flour from the surroundings. Once the solution become thick enough that it will not flow. With a spatula, mix in the flour from the surroundings and form a dough. Start kneading the dough once the ingredients are well combined and not as moist. Knead until the dough forms strings and doesn't not stick to the hands.
3. Place the dough in a greased pan, covered with greased cling film and let it prove in a warm place for 40 minutes until the dough has double its size.
4. Take out the dough and divide it into two. Roll them into two logs and place them in a greased 2-pound loaf pan (refer to the image below), let it prove for another 20 minutes until it doubles again. *Try proving the dough in a 100 degree celcius preheated oven with a bowl of water on the bottom to create steam. “Cake”
1. Beat eggs, egg yolk, sugar, and honey until light yellow color.
2. Fold in sifted pastry flour and baking powder. Fold in butter and water.
3. Pour batter into the loaf pan with the proven bread dough. Pipe in a line of fruit puree. (Refer to the image below.)
4. Bake in 190 degree celcius for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Ready to serve.
