Another Good Book - Bread Making

I bought another bread making book last week. The book title is "Tsang Mei Chi Teaching You How to Make Bread the Very First Time". And the small print on the book cover says, "Super Simple, the Most Fundamental, Sure Success."



I think it is a very well written book as it comes with simple, clear, intelligently written illustrations. The flow charts showing est. time for each and every process are really good. The whole learning process is complete with lots of photos.


For the start, I didn't want anything fancy, so I tried out the wholemeal Bread Loaf recipe and I'm very pleased with the result. It is soft and it tastes just like those bread you could get from the bakeries. We finish the whole loaf in 3 days and the last slice was still soft.





Then I tried out the Pullman Bread (Toast Bread/Sandwich Bread). I'm getting more confident at the end of each trial with very encouraging results. I even told my hubby and my kids that from now on all bread on our table will be home baked ..... hmmmmm.....maybe 80%......we'll see...

P.S. I'm also more familiar on how to operate my mixer and I've come to know how to do a proper stretch test and can tell when the dough is ready. The old saying "Practice makes perfect" is once again proven very right! So don't give up, guys!
