Pumpkin bread .. 南瓜面包

Kids  are on school holidays this week. My kids would request what they like to have for breakfast on holidays :D On school days, time is always constraint and rushing, they have no choice but to have what i prepared for them :p  We would only eat out on Sunday morning after attending Sunday mass. 

This is a highly recommended Pumpkin Bread. It is healthy with pumpkin added and its texture is fluffy, soft and chewy. Further more it stays soft for 2 days. (my bread never last for3 days :p)  I like to make them into mini loaves, simply  because they are easier to slice and store. My kids like it in smaller slice too.
Pumpkin bread. Love this soft and fluffy bread pair with sweet and sour taste of the roselle jam.

Pumpkin Bread
recipe adapted from 63种吃了会微笑的手作面包&多拿滋 translated as (63 types of heart warming hand made bread & doughnuts)

Ingredients:

  • 250 g bread flour/high protien flour
  • 100 g pumpkin (peeled and seeded..note 1)
  • 60 g milk
  • 70 g cold water
  • 20 g castor sugar
  • 7 g / 1 tsp honey
  • 3 g / 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 g / 1 tsp instant yeast 
  • 20 g unsalted butter (edited)


To Do:
** i am using a bread maker machine. This bread machine i am using is Noxxa.Add all the above ingredients into the bread pan, according to bread machine instruction in the manual. (Normally in bread machine, wet ingredients like water, milk have to be in the bottom of all ingredients then follow with sugar, salt. Follow with extra ingredients like pumpkin or sweet potatoes or carrots and etc then add in flour, butter and lastly instant yeast.)

Press dough cycle mode. With this mode (dough cycle - mode 10), my bread machine will mix, knead and it also included the first proofing, take 1 hour 30 minutes (do check how is your bread machine working before you start)

When the cycle finished. Take out the dough, put on a lightly floured work top. Punch down (lightly)  to expel some air from the dough and knead lightly. Divide the dough into 2 portion @ a portion is about 280 gm+- for mini loaves (loaf pan size 22.5cm x 12.5cm x 7.5cm/ 8.5" x 4.5" x 2.5") or 8 portion for  (8.5cm in diameter) round buns. Round them round and cover with a cling wrap to rest for 15 minutes. 

Rolled out one dough into oval shape, roll back up a little,  tuck in the sides and roll straight up like  a swiss roll. Place the rolled into a greased loaf pan seam side facing down. Repeat the same to the other one. 

Use a sprayer bottle to spray some water onto the rolled dough. (this is to prevent the dough from drying) Cover and let it proof for 1 hour or double it size in a warm place. ( on rainy days i sometimes preheated my oven at 40C then off the oven and let the dough covered and proof inside)

Bake in a preheated oven at 210 deg. C and bake at 190 deg. C for 20 minutes. (mine was on low rack and the timing is base on my oven. Different oven the timing may vary a little so do check on your oven :) ** for round buns bake for 12-14 minutes.

Remove the bread from the pan once it is baked and let it cool completely on the wire rack. (the bread will be quite soft when you remove it from the pan.  Arrange it neatly on the wire rack it will firm up once it is cool)


** My simple roselle jam here and here ^_^

  2. Hi MuiMui

    Like your pumpkin loaf. Can see it's soft (top skin of ur loaf tells me loaf is soft) and indeed very healthy with no traces of oil used. Will try out your recipe in future but instead of pumpkin, I might use sweet potato since I always have stock for sweet potato.

    Thank you for sharing ur recipe.

    Blessings

    1. Hi, I am Priscilla. Thanks for your reply. I was 'goggling' for Noxxa bread maker, and came across your blog. So, for all the baking part of the bread that you make, you use the 'baking' function of the Noxxa bread maker? I do not have an oven.
      Thanks.

Shark Fin Dumpling ~鱼翅饺

This Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow), is one of my favorite dumpling. Although it is named Shark Fin Dumpling, but they contain no actual shark fin in it. Some say the look and shape of the dumpling does look like shark fin and other do include in imitation shark fin, though. I am lucky to have spotted this long hibernating in the book shelf chinese dim sum book ‘香港地道小吃’ translated as 'Hong Kong Authentic Tapas' Well, Do, you find this look like Shark's Fin?? 看看形状像不像鱼翅呢??  Filling for the ingredients are prawn, mince meat, carrot, yam bean and black fungus. Get ready the filling and the wanton wrappers. This is the parade of my Shark's Fin dumpling ... lol Homemade parchment paper liner. Arrange them neatly into the bamboo steamer. HOT! HOT! From the steamer!! Loaded with filling ..YUM! ENJOY~ Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow) (Scallop dumpling /Cilantro dumpling - depends which filling you using) Recipe adapted from  ‘香港地
