Bread Machine method:

Place all ingredients (except sunflower seeds) in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select basic white cycle; press start. Add the sunflower seeds when the alert sounds during the knead cycle.

Mixer Method:

Just put everything in and mix well for about 5 minutes..if the dough is too sticky then add 1/3 cup of the wheat flour. Rest the dough for one hour. Punch the dough down and divide into two. Grease two bread pan and put the dough in and rest again for an hour or more.

Once double, then bake in a preheated oven at 180 C for 40 minutes. When u hear the hollow sound when u knock the top of the bread, it means that it already baked.

DADIH COKLAT

Got these from nasyieen.blogspot.com..and I copied word by word from her blog, thanks..Made these for our tahlil at BIL's today to celebrate FIL's 86th birthday which falls on the 4th April..did not try it yet but looks good..cannot wait to try it..I have done minor amendments though to the recipe whch i have noted below..so happy this time it is separated as above..have done some other recipes and it just mixed together..

Bahan-bahan:

10gm serbuk agar2 - kalau nak guna agar2 bertali boleh guna 1/3 dari sebungkus agar2 cap bulan(warna merah) ( I add another 3 gm to the milk portion as I feel it is too soft)

1 liter susu segar biasa

1 liter susu segar berperisa coklat

1 1/4 cawan gula (atau 17 sudu besar gula) 

1.2 liter air

1 sudu teh garam

1 sudu besar tepung jagung - dibancuh dgn 2 sudu besar air

1sudu teh coklat emulco

Cara-cara:

Masak agar2 bersama air hingga mendidih. Jika guna agar2 bertali, rendam dulu supaya lembut dan lebih cepat hancur. Masukkan garam dan gula. Masukkan adunan tepung jagung. Masak hingga mendidih.

Bahagi dua adunan agar td. Masukkan kembali 1 bahagian agar kedalam periuk dan masukkan susu segar putih. 1 bahagian lg dimasukkan kedalam periuk yg lain dan masukkan susu berperisa coklat dan coklat emulco.

Masaklah kembali adunan tersebut. Gunakan api yg sederhana sj dan hendaklah sentiasa dikacau agar tidak berketul. Apabila nampak tanda2 mendidih, padamkan api. Peringatan: jgn masak terlalu lama nanti dadih menjadi keras.

Biarkan hingga suam baru lah ditapis sebelum dimasukkan kedalam bekas. Masukkan dadih yg berwarna putih dulu dan bila ia sejuk dan mengeras bahagian atasnya barulah dimasukkan dadih coklat. Kalau nak lebih cepat bolehlah dimasukkan kedalam peti ais seketika.

Sejukkan dalam peti ais, pastu bolehlah dimakan.

Sekiranya ada yg nak buat berperisa strawberry, bolehlah guna susu perisa strawberry atau pun boleh juga guna kedua2 susu fresh putih dan tambahkan pewarna merah dan strawberry emulco.

her notes:

 Satu kaedah lagi utk menghasilkan dadih coklat bagi yg bimbang jika ikut cara2 diatas menyebabkan rasa dadihnya terlebih manis(bg hb dan anak2 saya rasa manisnya sedang elok je). Setelah diikut step pertama, masukkan 2 liter susu segar (putih) kedalam periuk (tanpa menggunakan susu segar berperisa coklat). Kemudian bahagi 2 adunan dadih dan 1 bahagian itu dimasukkan 1sb coklat emulco. (diletakkan 1sb kerana aduanan asalnya berwarna putih sdgkan jika guna susu segar perisa coklat perlu letak 1st shj )

Monster Cookies

Monster cookies, I have been wanting to make some for my grand daughter for a lonnng while, now I managed to make some for and she ended up not liking it..she said it is too tough for her teeth..hehehe. Actually she just want the chocolate chips and the M n Ms..

The cookie is a bit hard actually more of crunchy..because of the rolled oats..smells nice..peanut butter..I think it comes from AllRecipe.com ..

1/4       cup butter, softened

1          cup sugar

1          cup plus 2 tablespoons brown sugar

2         cups crunchy peanut butter

3         large eggs

1          teaspoon corn syrup

1/4       teaspoon vanilla

4 1/2    cups rolled oats (certified gluten free, if necessary)

2         teaspoons baking soda

1/4       teaspoon salt

1          cup M&Ms

1          cup chocolate chip morsels

Cooking spray

1. Preheat oven to 350`.

2. Combine butter, sugar and brown sugar at medium speed of an electric mixer until smooth. Add peanut butter, eggs, corn syrup and vanilla; mix until just combined. 

3. Stir in oats, baking soda and salt using a large wooden spoon. Gently stir in M&Ms and chocolate chip morsels until well-combined. 

4. Drop 1/4 cup portions of dough about 4 inches apart on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350` for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. (Bake less time for a chewy cookie, more time for a crunchy one.) Let cool for 3 minutes on baking sheets. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely. But eat at least one while it's still warm.

Yield: about 2 1/2 dozen.

I made too much of the chocolate dough so I combined it with the recipe and put the cream cheese and black cherry filling. Original recipe below and I took it off Mamafami's blog again..hehehe

Step 1 to 4, I used the previous chocolate dough and proceed with steps below.

 5. Form each portion into a ball and arrange on a baking tray. Leave to rise for another 30 minutes or so.

6. Before baking, brush the dough with some fresh milk and use a scissor to cut the top of the dough.

7. Pipe some blueberry ( in this case I used black cherry) filling on top and cream cheese filling.

8. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180c for 20 to 25 minutes or till golden brown.

9. Once out of the oven, brush with a bit of butter. Place on a wire rack to cool. Keep in an airtight container.

50g cocoa powder
25g milk powder
75g sugar
10g instant yeast

Chocolate filling (from the bakery)

Method : (Bread Maker)

1. Pour water and salt into the bread maker pan. Add in egg. Top it with flour, cocoa powder, milk powder, sugar, yeast and bread softener.
2. Set the breadmaker to Dough function.
3. Once the dough is just combined, add in margarine and leave the Breadmaker to continue doing it's job. This process will take about 1 1/2 hour including proving.
4. Divide the dough to 40g each. Shape into a ball. Leave to rest for another 10 minutes.
5. Flatten the dough, place a teaspoonful of chocolate filling in the middle and roll into a ball.

For those who do not have a breadmaker, can put everything in the mixer except the butter?margarine, once mixed already then add the butter/margarine and mix again till well combine then follow step 4 onwards.

Dinner Rolls

Tried making these for the birthday bash..these are good but I made a boo boo ..lucky thing it worked out fine but the texture is not as good as I would imagine. Should try it again soon... the recipe is as below

Ingredients :

3 1/4 cups of flour
1 tsp of salt
1 1/4 cup of milk
1/2 stick of butter - 1/4 cup
3 tbsp of sugar
1 packet of yeast - 7 grms

1) Put milk, sugar and butter in a small saucepan and warm up milk on medium heat. Turn off heat once the butter melted. Set aside and let it cool.
2) When the milk is just warm to the touch or around 90 degree then put in flour, salt and yeast.
3) Stir everything together until well combined. Knead the dough for a few minutes and then cover and set it aside to proof to double its size. I let mine proof overnight.
4) Prepare muffin pan or any baking pan and spread it generously with butter.
5) To form the rolls, pinch some dough and make it into a small ball. Place 3 balls into each muffin tray.
6) Cover the pan with cloth and set it aside for second proofing and it might take another hour.
7) Brush the top of the rolls with beaten egg and bake in a pre-heated 350 F oven until golden brown. It might take around 25 min.


HAPPY TRYING
