Yoghurt Bread

Soft texture


I made some Yoghurt Bread because I did not like this brand of plain yoghurt that I had bought for breakfast. And I wanted to try baking with the Waitrose DUCHY Organic Strong Malted Grain bread flour that I had managed to get at a sale. As the yoghurt can also ferment the bread dough, I saw an article that advised using less yeast. After kneading to get a fairly wet dough, the first rise was at room temperature for about 2 hours, then overnight in the fridge. Shaped the loaves in the morning and left for 2nd rise for about 1.5 hours.

Ingredients:
0.5 cup of yoghurt (and a bit more)
2.5 cups of bread flour
0.5 tsp of salt
0.5 tsp of sugar
0.25 tsp of yeast
About 1 cup of water .. according to dough kneading

Waitrose DUCHY Organic Strong Malted Grain bread flour - first time using this.

Bread flour, sugar, salt, yeast and yoghurt.

Very wet dough.

After 2 hours at room temperature.

After overnight in the fridge.

Shaped ...

Final rise

Baking at 230C for 10mins, then 180C for about 30mins.

Two loaves.

Texture is very soft, due to the yoghurt.

Spicy Sour Mustard Green Stew (Tua Chai / Choy Keok / Chai Boey)

The elusive vegetable - Mustard Green - only found in the fresh markets (in Singapore), rarely in the supermarkets. There are quite a few write-ups about this post-Chinese-New-Year brilliant recipe to use up leftover meats. Leftover as in roast meats and pig trotter stewed meats that no one wants to eat anymore after over-indulging on rich dishes for several days. So, a genius person of olden days made a stew of these meats with assam (tamarind), dried chillies and mustard green vegetable to absord all the flavour. https://www.malaysianchinesekitchen.com/chai-boey-mustard-greens-stew/ https://www.rotinrice.com/chop-suey-soup-chai-boey/ https://beyondnorm.com/2017/03/19/choy-keok-recipe/ http://www.msyummylicious.asia/2016/02/hot-and-sour-chinese-mustard-vegetable.html I wanted to make this dish but had no 'leftover meats'. So, I started to collect my meats from the supermarket best buys' section for roast spring chicken and pork. I ate a little of the fresh roa...

Homemade Vinegar Chilli Sauce (cili cuka)

Homemade chilli sauce. Simple homemade chilli sauce, similar to the chilli sauce served with chicken rice. For blending: Red chillies - 10-15 Garlic - 5-7 cloves Ginger - 2inch For mixing: Vinegar - 50ml to start with, the chilli sauce should not be too watery, the sour, tangy taste should be there Sugar - 1.5-2 tbsp Salt - 1 tsp Unfortunately, in true homemade style, I learnt to make this from my mum without measurements. Just a sense of proportion that there should be more chilli than garlic and less of ginger. Of course, the vinegar, sugar and salt are similarly adjusted to taste. Too spicy - add salt, sugar. Too bland - add salt, vinegar. Just mixing all these ingredients together is sufficient, no cooking is required. The vinegar, sugar and salt are preservatives. But I always make sure the chillies, garlic and ginger are washed and dried before I blend them. Also, discard some chilli seeds, otherwise, it will be very spicy. For slow consumption, I keep the bott...
