Thanks Isi - it is strange how the Asians like their bread milky or sweet ?

Isi, I made this loaf this morning and we really loved it.  Would have liked to let it cool for a bit, but certain hungry people couldn't wait  :D

Only changes I made were to only add 20g of brown sugar instead of 30g, and I added 2 tsp improver. Took a bit longer to rise with only using 1 tsp yeast, but that didn't matter at all.

Will def be making this one again.  ;D

The speed with which food disappears before photos are taken is always a good indicator of success   ;D ;D

Made the Taiwan bread today after a disappointing effort with the basil and cheese knots last night (lacked flavour). DD loved it but DH prefers Isi's Portuguese bread. Taiwan bread is a great bread to serve if children are the main consumers. I loved it!

Made this yesterday and I love it.  DS wanted second and third...  Next time might make it as one instead of three balls.
Thank you, Isi :-* :-*

 ;D :D ;D ;D  There's only one problem with home made bread Jan - I eat too much of it  :-))  If I buy a loaf of sliced bread it lasts me over a week but this is the second lot of bread I've made in a week.

Thought this looked good to try.

Loaf 1 Started to make it but initially left out butter and salt (did not add sugar at all). Had to add 7 ( i think, but Sorry I lost count) teaspoons more water as it was too dry After the kneading stage I set timer to 15 mins.
After 15 mins I added only 20 gm butter and 6 gm salt, kneaded 2.5 more mins.

Put in bowl to rise. Rising took much longer than recipe said. ( I only used 1teaspoon - 5 gms - old fashioned dried yeast, ( not fast acting)



Shaped it and put in tin, and proved, again took much longer than recipe said. ( may be temp related, but it has been a warm day).



Then baked at higher temp than Isi said  but that is because I have an Aga and it is complicated.



Very pleased
Thank you Isi
