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!!

Home made tortilla for quesadillas. Trying out a new recipe and made entirely by hand, no machine. A challenge to roll it round n as flat as possible.
A tava, seasoned by the BH's colleague's mother (sadly she has passed on). Grateful for her efforts.

Vegetable pao with jicama, carrots, bamboo shoots, dried prawns, garlic and shallots. Poor wrapping skills but thankfully they taste great. Better than commercial ones with no palm oil. Made 17 of them. Pao dough 50gm, filling 35 to 40gm.

Solo dinner - wagyu burger with homemade dried tomato cheese sourdough sautéed in homemade garlic herb butter. Accompanied with Australian broccoli, white corn and fried egg white.
My morning post in IG never made it's way to FB. Even if it did, my written captions were all lost in transit.😩
Made 5 rustic, 1 wholemeal cranberry walnut and 1 olive sourdough for new and old customers this morning. Since we are also doing prayers for mom's 1st year anniversary, I decided to bake a small pulot itam chiffon for her and one for my hairstylist.

One of mom's favourite - Hokkien chang. Many a time she would literally lug back at least 10 bak zhang and insist on us having them. Instead of disappointing her, we often indulge her buying behaviour and accept it grudgingly.
I think I have only made bak zhang once for her. Now that my skills have improved (hopefully), she is no longer here to enjoy🥹but Lo Ma Ji, I will keep one for your first year anniversary.

Ponteng caring duties today to bake 6 sourdough, 2 pandan chiffon. Delivered 2 sourdough at a special request from a close friend and went marketing at Tung San, a local wholesaler for spices, ingredients. Their minimum quantity is 100g of any of the usual chilli/tumeric/lemongrass so I only bought ground galangal at 91cts for 100gm. Not very flexible sadly. Looks like I have to peel my ingredients to make my sambal.

Today I am in a generous mood - the other extra pandan was partially gifted to an ex-colleague who ordered a rustic sourdough from me so gave him 3 slices of chiffon for family to enjoy. I was also lucky that I received a nice kueh nagasaki from him too! Our driver and gardener received the free chiffon and so did the old lady who loves to use the washroom next to the gym several times a day. Caught her walking pass my unit so offered her a piece. She wanted to pay and i said No, no, it's on the house.

This Hokkien chang is a healthier version of half organic sticky millet and half glutinous rice. Managed to finish all my ingredients except for 7 pieces of lotus leaves.

Last item was to bake a yeasted focaccia for a neighbour. All done.
