POPPY SEED LOAF

This is a delicious quick bread, lemony and buttery. The best part of the loaf is when the lemony glaze  harden it made the loaf more crunchy and have a nice and fresh lemon flavour.

LemonPoppy Seed Loaf Cake

1 3/4 cup cake flour

2 tsp cornstarch

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 cup - 2tbsp sugar

1/4 tsp salt

1 1/2 tbsp poppy seeds

1/4 cup butter

1 egg

1 cup milk

1/4 cup lemon juice

zest of 1 lemon

1-2 tsp lemon extract

(pearl sugar for sprinkling)

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C (350F) and grease your loaf pan (mine's 11.5 x 4.5 x 2.5 inches).

In a small bowl just, combine milk and lemon juice, set aside.

In a food processor combine first 8 ingredients and blend until all the butter is cut in (this dry mixture can be frozen for use in the future btw).

Add the milk mixture to the food processor and the rest of the ingredients (except pearl sugar), and blend again until just combined.

Pour batter into a loaf pan and sprinkle on pearl sugar / crushed sugar cube. Bake for 40-60 minutes or until a toothpick poked into the center of the loaf comes out clean and dry. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack.

Lemon Icing

juice of 1/2 a lemon

about 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Mix enough powdered sugar into the lemon juice to get a thick but drizzle-able icing. Pour into a disposable sandwich bag. Cut off a bottom corner of the bag and drizzle icing onto cake. You can sprinkle extra pearl sugar over the icing while its still wet if you want (I did!)

Note from the cook

You could make about 12 muffins with this batter instead of a loaf cake. Just line 12 muffin cups and reduce baking time to 20-30 minutes.

Memang susah hendak cakap..tiba-tiba mood nak berblog ini jadi hilang...saya jadi malas..entah kenapa pada hal banyak yang perlu saya upload...jika tidak nanti saya lupa.....Hairan bin ajaib...biasanya semangat tu datang diwaktu subuh...kini hempeh jadi malas pula. Hari ini ulang tahuan anak bongsu saya Eyba..she turns 15 today...haram satu benda pun saya belum buat lagi...kalau mood ini berterusan macam ini nampaknya celebrate kat luar aje. Sebenarnya saya dah janjikan Eyba hendak buatkan rainbow kek...dia pun suka tenguk gambar rainbow kek tu..tapi umi dia pula hari ini dah terpeleot...mungkin drag kepada Sabtu ni...belated dua tiga hari tak apa kut...lagi pun Eyba tengah exam ni...biar dia fokus pada exam dulu. Resipi di atas ni adalah quick bread yang dibuat menggunakan poppy seed. Sedap roti kek ini lebih-lebih lagi bila lemon glazenya dah keras sedikit...memang sedap buat minum petang. Simple dan ringkas membuatnya.

BANANA YOGURT BREAD

Cucok kodok, goreng pusang, kuih talam, muffins, cake and breads are few favourite recipes that we normally do with extra bananas at home. Yeah this is one of it.....and there are few variations of banana bread, eggless, chocolate, plain or with chocolate. This one I;m sharing with you is a great recipe from CookingTackles, soft, fluffy and moist. A cup of yogurt was added to the banana with chunks of chocolates. Really nice, serve best with cream or ice cream. I love it while it is still hot.

BLESSING FRIDAY MORNING WITH CREAMY SEAFOOD MUSHROOM SOUP AND PARMESAN ASIAGO CHEESE GARLIC BREAD

Let's start this Blessing Friday Morning with a bowl of warm Cream of Mushroom Soup with some Garlic Bread. Cream of Mushroom and garlic bread are my youngest daughter favourite.If possible she wants it every day..... OMG who's gonna do that. ??? Once a while would be fair.

This fresh and creamy soup is easy to make, and filled with hearty chopped mushrooms and shrimps. Besides, I have also made some garlic bread to savor with the mushroom soup! This is indeed a prefect combination.

Creamy Mushroom Seafood Soup With Asiago Cheese Garlic Bread

Adapted from Allrecipes

3-4c Mushroom, whatever is on hand (diced small)

1c Mirepoix (celery,carrot and onion diced small)

1 whole peeled garlic

1/2p chicken stock or cold water

150 g shrimps chopped

3-4 button mushroom chopped

1 tbs.unsalted butter

2 tbs.olive oil

1 1/2c heavy cream
3 tbsp flour

Preparation:

Cut your mirepoix into small dice. Pre heat suce pot at medium high heat, in a few minutes drizzle olive oil, when oil just begins to smoke add your garlic to flavor the oil, just a couple of minutes, DO NOT BURN GARLIC, it becomes bitter and will kill your soup, as the garlic just barely turns a little brown, remove and set aside, place the mirepoix and saute until onions just become translucent.

Add mushrooms. Saute until both start to become soft, season.  Add your stock or water. At this point, lets make the roux. In a small saute pan on medium heat add butter and melt, then add flour. Use a small whip (whisk) to assure the breakdown of flour and even cooking.

After about an hour take off the heat. In a blender place soup in blender, take the cover off the top, replace cover on blender, take a towel to cover the hole of the cover, this vents the hot liquid, if you left the top on it will explode due to the build up of hest, steam from the soup, so we use a towel to cover the top of the cover to vent. PULSE the soup until soup is well blended. Once soup has been blended, pour soup through strainer and cheese cloth. We do this to develop a smooth velvety texture. it removes any debris. If we wanted a rustic soup we wouldn't use a blender or strainer. This method refines a dish. Simple, elegance is the order of the day. This what will set you apart from everyone else. Refinement. In the same sauce pot place the strained soup and bring back up to a medium high heat. Slowly pour in  cream. Use a whip (whisk) to constantly stir the soup, this assures the cream is evenly distributed and cooks evenly. No need to "temp" your cream. Then add the roux chopped button mushroom and chopped shrimps. Simmer till shrimps and mushroom are done.

PARMESAN AND ASIAGO CHEESE GARLIC BREAD

Adapted from - sweetpeaskitchen.com

9 – 10 garlic cloves (about the size of a plump cashew nut), skins left on

1/4 cup grated Asiago cheese, plus more for garnish

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

1/4 cups grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish

1/4 teaspoon table salt

1 loaf Italian bread (about 1 pound, football-shaped) - I used whole white bread

Ground black pepper to taste

Garlic powder to taste

2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 500 degrees.

Meanwhile, in a small skillet over medium heat toast unpeeled garlic cloves, shaking pan occasionally, until fragrant and color of cloves deepens slightly, about 8 minutes. When cool enough to handle, skin and mince cloves (you should have about 3 tablespoons). Using dinner fork, mash garlic, Asiago cheese, Dijon, butter, Parmesan cheese, and salt in small bowl until thoroughly combined.

Using a long serrated knife, slice the bread in half lengthwise. Spread cut sides of loaf evenly with garlic butter mixture; season to taste with pepper and garlic powder. Garnish with additional Asiago and Parmesan cheese if desired. Sprinkle with parsley. Transfer loaf halves, buttered side up, onto baking sheet; bake, reversing position of baking sheet in oven from front to back halfway through baking time, until surface of bread is golden brown and toasted, 8 to 10 minutes. Cut each half into 2-inch slices; serve immediately.

Hari ini kita breakfast OM Putih, saya buat Creamy Seafood Mushroom Soup digandingkan dengan  Parmesan Asiago Cheese Garlic Bread. Breakfast pagi ini permintaan si bongsu di rumah...biasanya selalu saya akan tanya anak-anak apa yang diorang nak for breakfast....sebab kadang-kadang pening nak memikirkanya....jadi layan aje permintaan dia orang, senang gitu. So si bongsu Eyba ni memang sudah lama minta sup ini memang favourite dia...kalau tenguk dia makan takut dibuatnya.


Biasanya saya tidak benarkan dia orang makan yang tin punya..ialah banyak bahan pengawet.....buat sendiri lagi baguskan. Lagi pun sup Om Putih ini lebih senang dari buat sup kita, main tumis dan blend hancur. Kali ini saya masukan sedikit udang cincang..udang lebih buat cucur udang hari itu...tak nak simpan lama-lama saya masukkan sekali. Untuk mushroom sup ini saya reservekan sedikit mushroomnya, saya cincang dan masukkan kedalam sup yang sudah diblend. Suka makan yang ada mushroom cincang. Kalau makan sup aje memang tak kenyang kan? Jadi saya buat gandinganya Garlic Bread. Saya tak buat rotinya cuma buat sapuanya. Roti kedai punya...saya terpandang resipi di Sweetpeaskitchen yang membuat campuran parmesan-asigocheese-garlic...rasa teringin hendak mencubanya so buat sedikit. Sedap kombinasinya. Jumaat biasanya anak-anak saya tidak ada aktiviti sekolah so tak payah bekal...breakfast macam inilah sesuai untuk mereka...ringan tapi kenyang.

Masyallah sapa kata memasak itu susah..kalau kita pandai cari jalan memasak itu cukup mudah. Saya gembira sangat pagi ini bila saya dapat satu kaedah membuat pizza dalam 15 minit. Bukan aje mudah malah jimat..bukan aje jimat malah anak-anak kita pun sudah boleh membuat pizza mereka sendiri...so tak payahlah semuanya umi yang kena buat. Itu yang paling best. Saya baru tahu roti pita boleh digunakan sebagai pizza base. Kita cuma perlu siapkan bahan atas aje. Itu pun mudah cuma sapukan sos pizza tabur cheese letaklah apa yang kita hendak letak dan bakar. Tak sampai 15 minit pizza yang lazat berada dimeja makan. Hari ini saya bakar 6 keping...habis disapu bersih oleh anak-anak..hai...boleh jadi kes batu belah batu bertangkut,.....sekeping haram pun saya tak dapat rasa..alih-alih..makan roti dengan kaya...begitulah kuatnya pukulan pizza 15 minit ini. Tak percaya cuba !!!!malah pizza ini boleh disediakan sebagai sarapan pagi sebab masa menyediakanya cukup cepat. So dengan pita bread pizza ini kita boleh makan pizza untuk sarapan, untuk lunch, untuk dinner, untuk supper malah 24 jamla...janji bahan semua ada dalam fridge.

Walaupun ini adalah cara "mengelat" -----tapi bagi saya," ada aku kisah" janji rasanya sama, sedap, cepat, murah, ringkas dan tugas ini boleh diserahkan kepada anak-anak. So apa pandangan anda?. Ya la kita bukan hendak menafikan pizza tradisi..tetapi dalam keadaan yang serba cepat lebih-lebih lagi bagi ibu yang bekerja seperti saya...pizza ini adalah yang terbaik.

Satu rahmat bila bertemu resipi pizza tanpa menggunakan yis. Anak bongsu saya semalam tiba-tiba minta pizza katanya hendak bawa bekal ke sekolah. Saya ini kalau buat kerja tak suka nak sambung-sumbang melainkan kalau ada dua tiga kerja sekali...jika hendak menunggu-nunggu ni takut terlupa nanti...biasanya kalau saya membuat roti saya pastikan saya buat dua tiga benda yang lain, jadi tidaklah terasa waktu menunggu tu.

Resipi ini tak payah menunggu-nunggu..rasa nak makan pizza aje.. dalam masa 1 jam sudah boleh siap.  20 minit diperlukan untuk siapkan doh dan bahan atas dan lagi 30 minit untuk membakar. Mudah dan senang terutama ibu yang bekerja. Walaupun tidak selembut doh pizza yang asli.......tapi kata anak saya sudah cukup baik.....

CHOCOLATE BANANA BREAD

This is another fantastic quick bread from joyofbaking.com.but I screwed it up....guess what?? I forgot the eggs and mine was a bit dried other wise this bread was perfect soft and moist. So shall we call this Eggless Chocolate Banana Bread..ha..ha.. 

Chocolate Banana Bread

Source Adapted from :- Joyofbaking.com

• 1 3/4 cups flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 stick butter, melted and cooled
• 3 ripe bananas, mashed well
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Mix together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Stir the mashed bananas, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla. Carefully fold the banana mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. Mix in the chocolate chips.

Pour into a greased loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 55 to 65 minutes until the bread has risen and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool and wrap in plastic wrap and foil or in a ziptop bag. Store in the refrigerator or freezer.

Resipi dari joyofbaking yang telah saya rosakkan. Entah kenapa hari itu jadi tak keruan lupa hendak masukkan telur, masa saya masukkan adunan ke dalam loyang memang terasa ada yang yang tak kena, adunan jadi macam adunan biskut....memang perasan tetapi tak dapat detect kenapa. Bila bakar tak berapa nak naik, bila potong pula jadi kering..rupa-rupanya lupa masukkan telur. Tapi kalau mengikut peraturan memasak ini kalau dah tak masuk telur jangan kata tak jadi.....sebab ia masih boleh makan, maka kita namakan resipi ini sebagai Eggless Chocolate Banana Bread ha......ha....sedap tapi kalau masukkan telur tu lagi sedap dan lembut.
