Tea time ~ 17.. Bamboo charcoal bread loaf ~ 竹炭面包

竹炭粉,在市场上现在非常流行. 到处的面包店都有卖竹炭面包和蛋糕. 起初看了这面包感到有点怪怪的, 那么黑可以吃吗? 心又有不甘, 很想试试看是什么味道.....

以是, 就托了我二妹帮我买了竹炭粉. 哎哟!!! 真的好黑...不过很兴奋, 就可以试看这竹炭粉有什么特别....^^

Bamboo charcoal powder...I don't know when it is so trendy in baking. In every bakery shop you can see bamboo charcoal powder breads or products. First glance at this powder, I am curious, I mean can this be taken??? Because of curiousity I ask Shelly to buy a packet of a 50gms BAMBOO CHARCOAL POWDER home for me to clear my doubts....:p

This is the Green Tea sponge cake and bamboo bread loaf version. It is the twist between green tea and bamboo charcoal. My Sam loves this very much.
Ingredients for sponge cake:

20g cake emulsifier
30g fresh milk
100g plain flour
20g green tea powder
70g melted butter

To do:
1) Put eggs, sugar, cake emulsifier and milk in a mixing bowl, whisk until batter is thickened.
2) Slowly add in flour and green tea powder and mix well. Add melted butter and blend well. ( a higher loaf pan (height 12cm) or a sandwich loaf tin is required for this switch up)
3) Pour half of the batter on top of risen bread loaf. ( this batter can make 2 loaf)
4) Bake in a preheated oven for 175c for 32minutes.

**I like to share after I have tried this out. I like the cheddar and bamboo charcoal bread, it taste lovely with the savoury taste of the cheddar cheese. As for the green tea and bamboo charcoal, it is the softness of cake with green tea and the spongy texture of the bread make it simply delicious...of course, must go with a cup of coffee.... ^^
