I have problem following recipes that are in cups. I find weighing the ingredients easier especially for self taught bakers like me. The egg amount is odd as the recipe probably was scaled down for home baking purpose. This is quite typical of bread recipes from asian baking books.

I don't see this system in the American blogs at all (although Americans are very conservative, America is just one of the only three or so countries in the world which still uses miles instead of kilometers, inches instead of millimeters, etc.).<br /><br />Egg that is 45g is quite weird. Singapore is a very tech savvy country and not all of your readers are Singaporeans. They may be from Third World countries as well.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your recipes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-44923022512064084782012-05-05T13:38:50.021+08:002012-05-05T13:38:50.021+08:00Hi Sabrina, yes, you need to beat the egg before m...Hi Sabrina, yes, you need to beat the egg before measuring out 30g. The odd quantities it not because of conversion, but rather it is because of using the baker's percentage where the quantities of the other ingredients are expressed as a percentage of flour.Happy Homebakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310704979379806678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-43045113876180882542012-05-04T09:54:11.478+08:002012-05-04T09:54:11.478+08:00As long as an egg is 45-55 g, how can I use just 3...As long as an egg is 45-55 g, how can I use just 30 g? I guess I beat the egg, than take out part of it...I've never done that! And the quantities are a bit weird. I guess it might be due to whatever conversion.<br />Oh, the DSLR picture is amazing!

Do note that this is the most basic oven, if you are looking for more functions like self cleaning, or more cooking functions, you will need to look at the higher range. I have tried baking on two racks, for cookies, pizzas and bread buns, so far so good...the bakes on the lower rack are able to brown at the same time. The temperature is quite stable (I use an oven thermometer to make sure I preheat it to the right temperature). Again, I have to highlight this, I can only make very simple cakes so the oven is able to serve my purpose...I am really not sure whether it will be able to perform as well for my intricate bakes? Btw, I like the digital timer on the oven, I find it very useful.Happy Homebakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310704979379806678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-9027929085955427862012-04-17T13:23:37.481+08:002012-04-17T13:23:37.481+08:00hi HHB, i know you would have been asked this a hu...hi HHB, i know you would have been asked this a hundered times but any latest feedback on Bosch HBN331E2J> as i also plan to get one. although i know it will take years (tens) to be able to bake like you :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-84003526828596130052012-04-03T06:50:05.279+08:002012-04-03T06:50:05.279+08:00Hi Charminee, thanks for reading my blog :):)

Surprisingly, after kneading for a few more mins, the dough came together very nicely, the sides of the pan became clean (ie about 15mins of kneading). Then, I let it continue to knead for another cycle, so total 40mins of kneading. <br /><br />Some time back, I read from some Chinese blogs, that some mixer may over knead the dough (causing the gluten to 'break')so the dough will appear very slack and wet, despite adding a lot more flour. I am not sure whether yours is the same problem...however, on the other hand, most English sites would say it is very difficult to over knead a dough, even with a mixer...<br /><br />I have also read that bread machine is better than a mixer when it comes to kneading bread dough. <br /><br />I have recently tried a Japanese bread machine cookbook...the recipe uses a lot of water/liquid...and my bread machine loaf failed...and that was really because of the type of bread flour...the Jap bread flour is able to absorb more water. But for this tangzhong method, so far I have no problem with the dough, even when I knead it by hand.<br /><br />Just sharing my experience with you...I am no expert in baking, hope u understand.Happy Homebakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310704979379806678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-20338237191789689632012-03-26T07:55:50.067+08:002012-03-26T07:55:50.067+08:00Hi HHB, i used a mixer to knead the dough, & i...Hi HHB, i used a mixer to knead the dough, & it was still a gooey mass after almost 30 min!

Did you knead by hand? If yes, you need to keep kneading, and it will become smooth and not stick to your hands, takes at least 30mins of continuous kneading by hand. I didnt add any extra flour. I believe all the water has to be used up in order to achieve the soft texture?<br /><br />Thanks Wendy for the tip!

Most obvious if the pictures are enlarged. The depth and detail is different.<br />But if compare with regular point and shoot.. then woah.... very very different.<br />If the G3 is serving you well... it's not necessary to get a new one. My hubby used to own a G3, which is why I've seen pictures from both cameras.<br />Try the P function instead. I use that most of the time. But other than that, I don't know much about the camera.<br /><br />Ur G3 pics has been making me salivate for years :)WendyinKK https://www.blogger.com/profile/08266961453200555850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-1328707126503733302012-03-23T10:31:31.700+08:002012-03-23T10:31:31.700+08:00hi happybowl, this is not the same as the soft cus...hi happybowl, this is not the same as the soft custard cake...this is make with bread dough, so it is not like a cake...and the filling is more to the dry side, not as creamy and custard-like.Happy Homebakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310704979379806678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805570821469912515.post-60089018316810448212012-03-23T09:55:29.719+08:002012-03-23T09:55:29.719+08:00HHB, i am placing a request.
