Basic White Bread Pain de Mie (Poolish Method) 頂角白吐司(液種法)
I’ve been thinking of writing a detailed post about Pullman loaf and dough mixing for a long time: however, I keep delaying as there are just too many things to say and I hesitate if it’s worth the time writing a lengthy post while no one might be even interested in reading. Since the pandemic,... Continue Reading →
Honey Madeleines 蜂蜜瑪德蓮

Happy 2021! Last year went by pretty fast as our family had been staying home most of the time due to the lockdown.

Chocolate Mousse Domes 半圓朱古力慕絲蛋糕
This is the cake I made when we celebrated my dad’s birthday. I decided to make individual cakes for everyone as this would be more convenient and much safer during the pandemic.
