Bacon and Cheese Soft Epi, And Baby Cinnamon Rolls
This Epi (Wheat) looks kind of skinny!
Savoury and sweet buns for every one's taste.
Yes, I am aware that usually bacon Epi made using french bread,but, frankly both hubby and I are not quite fancy with the hard crust unless it's the plain baguette or country loaf. We just wanna enjoy the soft and little sweet dough to go with the bacon and cheese. And Epi the 'wheat' can be in hard or soft bread form. So who cares?! Since my boy has yet to learnt to be a fan of bacon and cheese bun, I spared some of the dough to make his baby cinnamon roll, which he loves to eat them with a spread of chocolaty Nutella. I guess all are happy with their choices, in a cool and bright morning.
Ingredients:
Bread Flour 250g
Milk 80g
Warm Water 80ml
Sugar 25g
Salt 3g
Egg yolk 1
Instant dried yeast 3g
Unsalted Butter 25g
Fillings:
Bacon 2 strips
Pizza Cheese desire amount
Cinnamon sugar.
Method:
1. Except butter, mix all the ingredients to form a rough dough, then add in butter and knead till the dough become smooth and springy.
2. Cover the dough to let it rise for one hour or reach 2.5 times bigger.
3. Bring dough out on work top and deflate the air, reshape to a ball and let dough relax for 15 minutes.
4. Divide dough into desire portion for both Epi and cinnamon roll.
5. To make Epi; roll out a dough flat and wrap in bacon and cheese, then roll up the dough like Swiss roll and seal the ends. Use a scissors and cut along the dough about 3/4 deep in the dough and each cut portion place to the left and right directions all the down to form a shape of wheat.
6. For baby cinnamon roll ; roll put he dough flat , brush on some soft butter and sprinkle on with cinnamon and sugar, then roll up like Swiss roll. Cut the rolled dough with depth of 3/4 in three parts, then turn each cut portion out facing upwards.
7. Leave the shaped dough in a warm place and let them rise for 40 minutes.
8. Bake dough in pre heated oven at 180'C for 12-15 minutes.

Bonjour, Paris!
European inspired wedding cuppies.
Wreath of roses
Wedding at the garden.................
Bird cage wedding cup cake.
The night of Paris; Eiffel Tower.............
The day I knew this month's theme for Aspiring Bakers #16. I was so looking forward to it. Have been cracking my mind, see if I could find some really pretty designs to inspire myself further. I have always like chic and classic designs, so I thought this time I'd give the wedding feel a try! I was really in the mood of making these. Though it is very time consuming, but I really enjoyed it!
The most exciting part of making these cuppies, was to 'build' the Eiffel Tower. Not knowing whether will it stay up 'strong'during the drying process. Really proud of it!! :)) Wonder if you could see the glitters which I was trying to create the night Eiffel Tower.....

Sweet Bread
The simple and basic look of some sweet buns........
It's been more than two years since I started this blog, yet I didn't take note of it, and even missed the first year anniversary.... time past really quickly without us knowing, with our daily routines running day in and day out, I wonder what had I missed.... But I know baking is something I will always have in my mind and looking for more to try out. Just wish that I can be more organize in many ways, so that I can enjoy more.
This Sweet Bread is one of my early post, when first started. A bread that best for a slow and quiet afternoon . Of course no one would say no to it when I make this for breakfast. Brewed a pot of Assam tea and hubby's Italian coffee, would make a perfect tea time at home, before I start preparing for dinner.... I count myself lucky, in the sense that I do get some quiet afternoon with hubby whenever he's home and while our boy goes for class. I'm truly appreciate this and blessed. May all the kind souls be blessed in lives!
