Rilakkuma Deco Mashed Potato Steamed Buns

It's baking time since I have some orange sweet potatoes to make deco steamed pao ^_^ This round I make Rilakkuma using the same recipe but just add some cocoa powder for brown colour. To view the recipe can visit HERE my previous Winnie The Pooh Deco Steamed Buns.
 

I prepared the dough at late evening while cooking dinner for my family. Well, I'm happy that the dough rise up well and time to shape into Rilakkuma. On the other hand, my girl already helped me rolled the red beans into 12 balls each ball is 10g for the pao fillings. Each dough I use 40g for each ball and I make sure have balance dough to the ears ^_^  
To make brown dough, I mix some cocoa powder to the natural dough. This took me quite some time to knead it until smooth. (*Sorry that I didn't use any measurement for the cocoa powder, all base on the brown colour that I prefer)
To make black detail simply add the natural dough with some charcoal powder and knead until smooth. 
 

The balance black dough just nice to create Jiji Cat ^_^ While steaming, the pao skin not as smooth as the Rilakkuma =_="
 

I hope you will like this Rilakkuma Deco Steamed Buns. Happy Thursday! 

Winnie The Pooh Deco Sweet Potatoes Steamed Buns

Oh no..... I can't helped it ever since I made deco steamed buns few days ago ^_^ This round I followed the recipe book for the ingredients to made "Golden Mini Buns" but I changed into "Pooh Deco Sweet Potato Steamed Buns with Red Bean fillings" Yup! Red bean fillings again!!! My kids like it a lot especially my elder son loves to eat his breads/pao with red bean fillings :D

The above photo that I shared at my FB/Instagram. Looked at it.... I still need to practice more for my Winnie the Pooh details =_=" Especially the details that I should have cut the lines into fine lines! It will look much better :D 

Sorry to said that I didn't take any tutorial photos due to my sticky hands while kneading the dough :D 
Anyway, I'm not a professional :D but I managed to took few shots after I shaped it with red bean fillings and the details ^_^ 

Here's the closer look before I bring all my Pooh Deco Pao to steams ^_^ 

After steamed it! 

Ta-da!! I hope you will like my "Winnie the Pooh Deco Sweet Potato steamed buns"

Recipes by Agnes Chang's "Tasty Temptations" book 
Dough:

• 1 tsp yeast*
• 2 tbsp warm water*
• 1/2 tsp sugar* 
• 300g plain flour, sifted (I used pao flour)
• 1/2 bowl mashed orange colour sweet potatoes
• 50g castor sugar
• 1 tbsp butter
• 90ml water

 *mixed, let it stand for 10 minutes till foamy

Fillings:
1 bowl bean paste/lotus seed paste, formed into 20 small balls (recipe book stated)
But I made used of my leftover red bean paste as fillings and mad about 10 balls @20g each ball

Method:
1. Dough: Mix and knead all ingredients to form into a smooth and pliable dough. Cover and leave aside to prove till double its size. Knead again and rest for 15 minutes. Divide into 20 portions and form into small balls. (Note: I divided into 10 portions balls and the balance dough I mixed with charcoal powder for the details. Please take note that the balance dough left a lot due to I only made 10 portions for Pooh)

2. Use 1 piece of skin dough to wrap up 1 portion of fillings to get a mini pao. (Note: I pull out small portion for Pooh ears before I wrap up 1 portion of fillings). Please view the photo above.

3. The balance dough mixed with charcoal powder to make Pooh details. You may pull part balance dough for black colour dough as I ended up balance black again =_=" (I just made plain black mantou since is the leftover) so that you can make other mini panda deco mantou too!

4. After adding the black details (view the above photo) and leave to prove 15-30 minutes.

5. Steam over high heat for about 5 minutes. Remove and serve hot.




 

Homebaked Panda Deco Steamed Pao & Hello Kitty Mantou

 

I made these cute panda steamed pao yesterday ^_^ Inspired by dear talented "婉婉午茶" or "wanwantea" blogs that she made super cute "Panda Steamed buns with Black Sesame Fillings" and many more yummy creations. She updated her tutorial very details and I just follow it but please note that the blog is in Chinese. Click HERE to visit her "Panda Steamed Buns" Anyway, I followed her tutorial but still have balance dough :p Opps....not sure where went wrong so I just created the balance dough into mantou :D 

Here's the close up "Panda Steamed Pao with red bean fillings" I didn't followed Wanwantea black sesame fillings as I still have leftover red bean fillings at my fridge. So I just replaced the pao with red beans. To make black colour, I mix the original dough with charcoal powder and the pink colour just mix the original dough with food gel. 

All together have 6 Panda Steamed Paos with red bean fillings ^_^ I decorate few pandas with ribbons :) Is pretty fun making them and I think getting addicted to make more! Hahaha

Well, I made the balance dough into two mini Hello Kitty mantou and spiral black/pink mantou ^_^

I hope you like today's sharing post and thank you for visiting. Have a lovely Friday!  

Bunny Pandan Custard Breads

Last night baking pull-apart breads for today's breakfast ^_^ Sorry for the delay and took me some times to update after posted the pictures last night and this morning. Lately, I took few days leave to stayed at home with my kids and their school will reopen another 2 more weeks! I went through some other recipes and this round baking "Pandan Custard Bread" I find it more work to do because I need to make pandan juice and luckily my pandan plants grow quite well ^_^ As you can see from the above photo that I missed out the ears.....

 

Photos were taken from my Iphone with some editing because my kitchen wasn't that bright =_=" Here's the morning breakfast with added bunny ears! I just trim away part of the bread to add on and create bunny ^_^ 

Hope you enjoy and like today's sharing. Have a lovely day!

Butter Cinnamon Pull-apart Breads

After baking the Rilakkuma Pull-apart bread, my kids request more ^_^ So this time I search for other recipes books at home and found this "Butter Cinnamon Roll" recipes looks yummy but I change to make as pull-apart bread instead of individual roll. Haha....still presentable! 

Look at the soft and fluffy texture of my home-baked bread ^_^ Since I don't have time to decorate the top part as any characters, I just add Fuchico Hello Kitty for extra cuteness!

Below is the Butter Cinnamon Roll recipes but I changed to other ingredients ^_^

Ingredients A: 

• 280gm     Bread Flour/High Protein Flour
• 15gm       milk powder (I use soymilk powder)
• 2.5gm      bread improver

Ingredients B:

• 60gm       castor sugar
• 1/2tsp      salt
• 70gm       water
• 6gm         instant yeast
• 100gm     fresh milk (I use soymilk)

Ingredient C:

• 50gm      butter

Method:

1. Combine A and B to forms almost a dough or you can use bread maker machine under "dough" setting.
2. Add in C beat until it form a fine dough. (I add the butter after saw the bread maker machine mix into a dough form).
3. Leave to prove for 30 minutes or if you use bread maker machine just wait until the "dough" setting done.
4. Keep in freezer for 15 minutes. (I skipped this part)
5. Roll in flat sheet (sprinkle some flour on table top while roll) apply with butter, sprinkle with cinnamon powder and castor sugar. Roll up. (I skipped adding the castor sugar)
6. Cut into 8 sections. Arrange onto 8 inches greased chiffon cake pan. Let it prove double in size by cover with damp cloth. Or you can make 6 individual 10cm greased aluminium foil and let it prove in double size.
7. Bake at 190ºC 15-20 minutes. 

Here's the picture taken before oven bake after the dough prove double size ^_^ I used my Iphone to captured it :p

My first Rilakkuma Pull-apart Breads

Today's Rilakkuma pull-apart bread inspired by +Jean Yap recipes. Is like a challenging task for me due to I hardly baked breads! Thankfully the breads turn out well and soft. 

For decoration: I don't have dark chocolate for the eyes so I just used normal chocolate. 

To view the recipe please visit HERE. Do check or follow her at Facebook/Instagram for latest updates. She made awesome bentos as well and I wish I could baked like hers ^_^ By the way, the recipe needs milk and I don't have milk at home so I substitute with soymilk.  

Here comes a snapshot of my daughter holding the bread  ^_^ Love the soft texture! My kitchen smelled great!

I hope you like my Rilakkuma pull-apart bread ^_^ Have a blessed weekend!

Hello Kitty Pancake Breakfast & Bangkok Trips Photos

I'm back from my family trips to Bangkok ^_^ Had a great getaway with shopping, eating, walking & sweating!!! Haha...yes was super HOT!!! Today I'm at home with my kids (still school holidays) so thought of making breakfast and also update my blogs ^_^ Looks like I had gone away for long..... Well, to make up I will share some of the Hello Kitty House Bangkok photos after this breakfast :) Hope you could enjoy reading.

To make a quick breakfast, I use Cornell Hello Kitty Sandwich Toaster to make pancakes ^_^ It's been awhile have not use :D Just mixed the pancake mix flour and pour to the sandwich toaster if you have it. Easy and perfect pancakes turned out ^_^ Lovely right?

Pour some caramel syrups and decorate some salad & fruits. Ta-da...yummy breakfast is done!

I started queuing at 9.45am and the shop open at 10am but.....the staff came out apologize to wait for another 15minutes. So overall 10.15am we're inside ^_^ We got our table number and what we did was taking pictures before heading our table! Haha....Since we're the 2nd one who go in and no customer sitting around, better grab the chance to take photos!!! Let's enjoy the photos below :)

Let my kids sat down at our table number first and I need to queue up to purchase yummy drinks or cakes. We had our heavy breakfast at our hotel so this round will just light snacks. Most customers I saw mainly to eat their breakfast sets! Hmm....too bad our tummy can't filled in more foods =_="

After purchased they will served the foods to our table. So let's explore more.....hubby's job to take pictures ^_^

Yay, here's our ordered: From the left Iced Latte; Red Velvet Cupcake; Green Tea Cupcake & Kitty Smoothies ^_^ The cupcakes were yummy and I loved the green tea :P

After the foods, we went to the ground floor to explore the Hello Kitty Shop & Spa. Sadly, nothing much things to see...
