Late night bakes - Pandan buns with gula melaka filling. Had excess pandan extract, so sayang to buang. So make pandan bread as suggested by my brother yesterday. Already made a plain pandan Pullman loaf this afternoon but still has some extract left. Die die must finish using it1🤣🤣

As usual, gula melaka (from Melaka) oozes out despite my attempts to fold in neatly.

Brother asked: Are you game to try pandan sourdough?? Call me a traditionalist but no way I will make pandan sourdough which I have seen on FB posts.

Pandan creme brulee - recipe from Jaja Bakes. Tweaked it cos i prefer lesser cream and less sugar. Not too bad. Thought I overbaked the custard...actually this torched ramekins was underbaked whereas the rest of the flatter ramekins were ok. Could be better but it's ok for me.

Haze is terrible. Feeling sick. Take care folks!

I finished my own F1 race, 5mins before the stroke of midnight when I prepped my tiramisu (2nd attempt after many years) and completed baking the black sesame cotton toast. The soft bread was a bit of a disaster as the bottom was stuck to the Pullman tin (yes I didn't line my tin despite previous experiences of it not being non-sticky anymore).

From dinner till now, watched 4 episodes of Sleeping Dog on Netflix.

My race is over... time to sleep.

Another item to pair with my sourdough

Chorizo chickpea stew - a recipe from the defunct GoodFood Magazine (Asia). What's missing is the flat leaf parsley. Recipe is said to pair with sourdough. What's in the stew? - red onion, garlic, 1 can of chickpeas, 1 can of tomatoes, 4 chorizo sausages, 1 lemon, cumin seeds, smoked paprika and seasoning.

Sourdough oat bars, recipe from Little Spoon Farm. Didnt follow the recipe exactly - used an active stiff starter instead of discard, hence unable to finish the dry ingredients (mix of oats, all purpose flour and salt). Added homemade blueberry jam into the bars. Supposed to drizzle peanut butter on top (optional).

Surprised that my niece liked it and brought back 2 pieces for her brekkie and a small bottle of homemade blueberry jam. It's hard to get teenagers nowadays to eat home cooked food.

Sourdough biscuits recipe (from Little Spoon Farm). Followed the ingredient list except for the leavening ingredients & shortened my fermentation time because I was running out of patience due to the unbearable heat. I also egg washed the top for colour (nothing said in the recipe). Tasted a mini one, not too bad. Will try with fillings tomorrow.

I rarely bake sourdough on Saturdays let alone a Saturday evening. Wanted to bake for my siblings so made 3 loaves of dried tomatoes and olives with organic tomato powder. Sliced them and froze them for my siblings.

Earlier in the afternoon I cooked my lamb stew over the stove and finished it on the thermal pot to soften the lamb leg cubes. It worked! Save on electricity.

Sourdough apple tart and butter chicken on sourdough tart base. Never been a fan of apple tart but had left over apples from prayers so experimented with sourdough discard pop tarts. Basically the recipe is almost identical to the sd pie crust recipe except for more sugar in the pop tart recipe.

Sometimes there are no shortcrusts in baking, esp pastry. I was lazy to line my non-stick pan with parchment paper before placing the tarts. After egg wash, the wash flowed down the pastry and made the pastry stick to the pan. I was impatient and used a knife to scrape the bottom and ended up scratching my non-stick tin which I use for focaccia sometimes. Well, lesson learnt!!
