Baking@home - Almond butter cookies

the temp of the room is impt
it is good to make the dough in the air-con environment if possible
this will make the dough easier to manage as butter will not melt easily

also keep some flour around to dust the rolling pin, cookies cutters and table for making cookies

challenges include (1) ensuring the thick of each dough is about the same size
this will make sure the final cookies are of similar thickness for presentation

(2) keeping the cut-out dough to the cookie shape....consistency for presentation too

as the dough maybe a bit soft in the hot sg climate, it is difficult to keep to the shape after cutting it out....similar to making pineapples tarts....

Baking@home - Bread

:) starting off my keep baking site with bread

my first foray into making bread

why so? bcoz i heard so many times that it is very difficult to make bread...

This is the first tray output, didnt do too bad for a first timer. There were plain sweet bread, hotdog bread and specially home-made hae-bee- hiam bread...gosh...that was spicy...

I am going to make another round...maybe next week...to perfect the skills
