Wholemeal raisin bread



Today I baked a new bread recipe that I created. It was a new recipe  using wheat bran and raisins. The bread turned out delicious and slightly sweet. The texture was also soft and slight moist, perfect  if toasted on the next day. I used only 1/3 cup raisins and  it  would taste even better  if I used more, maybe about 2/3 cup or about 1/2 cup. The bread was quite big, weighted nearly 800gm.

Ingredients:
200ml water
3 cups bread flour
4 tbsp wheat bran (whole meal flour)
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/3 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoons  sugar
1 1/3 tablespoons nonfat dry milk
3 tablespoons condensed milk
1 1/3 teaspoons instant dried yeast
1/2 cup raisins

Preparation:
1. Put all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix well. Add a little more flour or water if necessary.  Mix till  dough is not sticky and leave side of bowl or  not sticking to hands.
2. Turn onto a floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic, about 15minutes by hand or machine 6-8 minutes.
3.Cover and let proof in a warm place, about 2 hours or until doubled in size.
4. Punch  down and knead again  for another 5 -10 mins. Then divide the dough into three equal portions. Shape each portions into oval shape and place them in a bread baking pan.
5. Proof for another 60 - 90 minutes or doubled in size.
6. Preheat oven to 180° C. and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown on the top or sound  hollow when thumped on the bottom.

Butter Milk Buns- 奶油包

Butter Milk Buns are very popular in Malaysia and Brunei. When I tried to look for it in Perth, I could find any. I guessed this must be another Malaysian creation. This is my 2nd attempt with the fillings. The first filling recipes which I copied from a US website was totally useless and a failure. This time I used the recipe from a Brunei friend. It was a success. The Bun dough recipe was from Kuala Terengganu, a specialty over there. The Bun was very soft even after it cooled down. The butter milk was very nice as well. Two of the fillings in my buns burst during baking but that was because I did not cover up the dough well and it leaked out. Rest of the Buns were perfect. *makes 11pcs of medium size Buns Gelatinised dough 50g bread flour 35ml hot boiling water 1.
