Basic Bread Making ( No Knead / White Bread )

Is a wonderful knowledge to know more about Basic Bread Making, really thankful that I took up this module and learn a lot about bread making. Never think that bread can be so interesting and so much thing to know and learn about.

I still remember during my first day of lesson I'm still quite worry, scare and excited about it. Worry and scare is because I have never make bread before not sure if I can do it a not ? Excited is definitely because I get to bake and learn new thing and make new friend.

First lesson we learn how to make No Knead Bread/White Bread.

Is quite easy and straight forward, just need a few simple ingredients and you can make bread with this method and receipt shown below at home too and you have it for your breakfast. ( :

As you can see from the picture above that's the ingredients we use and on the right is the step and process of doing it. I didn't expect that with just this four simple ingredients we can make a bread .
Picture below is taken after the final proof and ready for baking.

4. Round it up to a ball and leave it in the bowl and cover with cling wrap.
5.  Allow to stand for at least 1 hour for first fermentation to take place
6. Take the dough out of the bowl onto a lightly floured table and gently form into a ball shape. ( Boule). ( Divide it into two and round it )
7. Give another intermediate proofing for at least 10 - 20 minutes

First Post in 2017

Hello Everybody, I know it has been quite a while since I last posted anything and now finally I get sometime to post something short and simple.
Just let me share with everyone of you what I'm up too lately.

Starting of January, other than my usual normal 9am - 6pm job on every Monday to Friday. Now every Monday, Wednesday and alt Friday I'm attending some baking course too.

It has been quite long on making decision and finally I decided to go for it. Happy with the decision I made because is one step closer to my goal and dream, is not easy to study and work at the same time, can be super tiring but I always believe that when you're doing or learning something you're deeply interested with or full of passion with, you can do it and pull it through and do it no matter how hard it is.
For the first month of January I'm learning about Preparing of Basic Bread.
Honestly, before I start attending this module I totally have zero knowledge about bread making and have no interest in baking or making bread at home. I find it troublesome, lots of time needed to be spend to let it rise and bake that's why I never once ever think of baking it at home.
But after attending the first module I start to understand a little bit more about Bread making. Such as making a bread you will just need 4 ingredients ( Bread Flour, Water, Salt and Yeast ) and you can start making a basic bread all by yourself at home of cause have to know the floor time ( Rise ).
Probably, next time I should write a post on my baking experience. Stay Tune ! :)

Other than attending my baking class, during chinese lunar new year I baked some Pineapple Tart for my lovely family member and friends too. Pineapple Tart is one of those Chinese Lunar New Year must have cookies to have at home.

This year is my second time baking pineapple tart for my family member and friend and really thankful that they like it a lot. I always feel happy when people around me like and enjoy eating what I bake or cook. 

After long weekend for chinese new year, everyone got to go back to work and school as for me on top of both of that I have to prepare for the 1st module assessment, which mean one module down for me. But it's mean 2nd module is starting.
Picture below is taken during my first assessment.

Time files and now I'm left with two more module to go and I will be taking a break from it and proceed with preparing other thing in life. ( :

Stay tune for more upcoming blog post can be about Travel or Baking. ( :
