Love your bread..looks really soft :)
ReplyDeleteThe bread look so nice and soft. I bought the same book when I went home the last time but have yet to try anything from the book yet :)
ReplyDeleteYes, this bread is really soft and yummy! I made this before, ages ago! Must have been before I started blogging, as I can't find the post for this! Haha! The same recipe is used for making his Red Bean Loaf, really, really good! Yup, this is a great book to have, in fact, Alex Goh is my favourite local pastry chef! Most of his recipes are good. I have six of his books! Will be making something from his recipes this weekend too!
ReplyDeleteYour braad looks really soft and fluffy! Bread with whipping cream rich and creamy. I love it! Receipe noted. Will bake soon.
ReplyDeleteI've seen the same recipe before by Reese Kitchen, using cream for her bread mix. Bought this book when I went back to SG and I'm very keen to try this recipe too.
ReplyDeleteYour bread look so soft like cotton.
ReplyDeletehey the bread looks insanely fluffy in the middle! i've seen his book ard in the bookstores but tot the pictures dont look as appealing :P sorry am a sucker for pretty pictures...but after seeing ur post, think im gonna get one as well!
ReplyDeleteSuch a soft bread! It looks soooo good. And what a coincidence, I just made some sandwich rolls yesterday to use up unopened expired yogurt :).

ReplyDeleteThe breads looks so fluffy and soft - little wonder that it's from a book titled MAGIC BREAD. :)
ReplyDeleteLove Alex Goh's breadbook :) Different method yet turn out soft and fluffy :) I just made mini loaf using his gelatinized method...turned out lovely :)
ReplyDeleteYour buns look great and japanese bread uses the gelatinized method :)
Thanks for sahriong more Alex Goh recipes. This bread sounds quite similar to those Hokkaido bread. Great texture as always.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great day.

I love to make bread using water roux method, the bread really turn out very soft in texture lasts for a few days. I still have some left over whipping cream in my fridge, perhaps i could use it for this recipe. Thanks for recommends others blogs to us for references.

ReplyDeleteLook perfect! Soft & fluffy!
ReplyDeleteHi Lena,
ReplyDeleteLovely bread, looks very soft, can the whipping cream be replace with another ingredient. TQ.
oh my, this looks so soft and fluffy. i have never tried baking bread with whipping cream before. It shall be going up on my list!
ReplyDeleteThis is my kind of bread that I would spread some butter on it. So soft and moist. I never used whipping cream, something worth trying.
ReplyDeleteOh Lena! That looks so soft and cottony! Sooo good that I bet I can have it on its on over and over again. Now to get over my fear to make other sorts of bread... other than the "Throw and let it churn" bread mix!
ReplyDeleteHi Lena, this bread looks really good.
ReplyDeleteAnd I for sure will make at least 4 pieces disappear fast...
maybe add marmalade or peanut butter, and iced coffee.
Have fun, Lena.....
Best regards.
Lee.
hi everyone, as most of you know that for the past 2 days, blogger a/c has been down, most of the comments made earlier has gone missing but just to let you know that i've read each one of them !
ReplyDeletedaphne: to answer your question, you can use milk in replace of whipping cream but probably the texture might be a little different but still soft.
sorry that answer was meant for you, delphine!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Your writing has helped me,,

Hi there, just come visiting from My Little Space. This bread looks very yummy, as for the black forest cake Mmmmmmmmmmm I will be back. Diane
ReplyDeleteYum! It looks so light and fluffy :)
ReplyDeleteSues
Hi Lena,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your reply. TQ.
Love your bread recipe...somehow I can't achieve the type of light texture you seem to find so effortless!
ReplyDeleteThe bread looks light as the clouds. Haven't seen such a recipe before, quite an interesting range of ingredients
ReplyDeleteJust printed the recipe, thanks for sharing! Hopefully the outcome will be as fluffy as yours!^^
ReplyDeleteLena,
ReplyDeleteI made the gelatinized starter now.. 1.12am.
It's very tough, not soft at all, not that I can blend it but rather I had to knead it to bring it together, like tong yun dough and was crumbly. Should I knead it to form a clump? Or just leave it as it is, or it shouldn't be that tough? Haha! I'm just learning to bake bread the proper way, sifu!
not that tough/crumbly. Normally what i do is make a well in the flour and i pour the hot water little by little and keep stirring until it forms a dough. if you find it too dry, can add drops of water till at least a dough is formed. like tong yuen dough, i think it's okay, sifu!!
ReplyDeleteI made a well too, and slowly poured the boiling water in, and stirred with chopstick. It's piece of tough dough leh, serious. I had to knead and press the whole clump together. It's a bit sticky due to it half cooked, but not soft like raw bread dough. Sigh, I hope it turns out well with my "hoi jeong tai kat", hahaha!!!
ReplyDeleteno, it's not like raw bread dough but if you can get form to a dough, i think no problem. It might also due to the brands of flour. When you add in ingredient c, put on low speed ( 2 or 4) and after adding in the butter, just continue beating (maybe at speed 6)until the dough is really soft and maybe shining. If you will that the dough is a little wet, just sprinkle a little flour around the bowl.aiyah, you're not first time making bread, i hv full confidence in you! i'll pray for your bread..haha!
ReplyDeleteTarak brand la. Just bakery shop bread flour. It's not my first time baking bread, but it's my first time doing bread using new methods beside the normal mix and knead. I'm still very much a novice in this field.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteDid you hand knead or use machine?
hi anonymous, all my breads here are kneaded using machine.
ReplyDeleteHi Lena, can I use kitchenaid mixer to do all kneading? This will be my first attempt in bread baking. I don't have bread machine.
ReplyDeletehi anonymous, sure you can. I did all my bread using ka mixer. You can use speed 4 and 6 interchangeably to knead the dough till smooth and shiny, it will take probably around 10-15 minutes. Remove it from your mixer, on a floured surface, shape into a ball and let it proof .
ReplyDeleteHi Lena, thanks for your prompt reply and advise. My first attempt almost failed as I follow your recipe to T. You have typo error which mention 'divide dough into 6gm each'. My daughter and I just follow accordingly. Was really silly till I decide to double check with your other recipe. Then realise that it should be 60gm instead. Nevertheless, we successful bake the bread and my girl loves it.
ReplyDeletehi anonymous, oh so sorry abt the typo error, i hv corrected it now. Thanks for pointing this out! i'm glad to hear that it turned out successful after all. Happy baking!
ReplyDelete120gm bread flour
ReplyDelete85gm boiling water
May I know the tangzhong once cooked, how many gm??
85gm of boiling water is how ml of water?
hi, i did not weigh the starter . 85gm is near to 90ml.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteMay I know is it Dairy or non-dairy whipping cream?
Many thanks,
Chilliqueen
hi chilliqueen, it's diary cream.
ReplyDeleteHi, I am a big fan of Alex goh, bought two of his books in Singapore in 2005, while I was on holiday. This year we went back to Singapore for holiday again and tried to find more books but couldn't find any, can anybody please let me know where can I find them as I didn't find them online as well. Thank you.
ReplyDeletehi jalbader, you can find out more from this site.

This is a bookstore based in malaysia. I believe that they ship to overseas.
I made these today....wow, really like it's fluffiness...but, I still have questions....
ReplyDelete1. My dough was rather wet after I added everything but I dare not add more flour, as I have not made any bread using this method before....so am not sure of the texture of the dough....is it something like the straight dough method or is it normally a little wet?
2. Although the inside is nice...but still the surface of my buns a far from yours....it is crusty and could not get the brown top like yours....can I email you a photo of my buns?
also, I think I really need some shaping advice...haha....
ReplyDeleteHi another question about liquids...all this while I've been following the recipes which shows the liquid in grams but I normally measure all using ml...I.e no matter what liquid I will use the recipe as, 85gm as 85ml. Do you normally weigh your liquid ingredients?
ReplyDeletehi yeong shong, actually i have baked buns using this method few times oredi and as far as i can remember, the dough isnt wet and very easy to handle. you mean your crust is a little hard? you can email to me at wflena@yahoo.com
