Sourdough Coconut & Honey Loaf

What is slim and loooooong...? ;)

I bought a slim-long loaf tin when I was back in Japan last time, and finally got around to try it out with this aromatic Coconut & Honey Loaf.

Ingredients:

Strong flour 125g

Plain flour 125g

Starter 110g

Milk 160g

Honey 25g

Coconut butter 2tbsp

Salt 4g

This loaf has such a nice smell from the coconut (I use homemade coconut butter because it's much cheaper than shop bought ones!) and natural sweetness from the honey. The dough might seem pretty weak as it's got 50% plain flour, but don't worry, this is what make the crumb nice and soft.

Good size for small hands. ♥︎

Mini loaf three ways...

Plain.

Buttered.

Eggy bread or French toast (by Andy).

They were all nice but, the best was Andy's quick eggy bread. Good call for doing that! (Hum, I actually don't know his eggy bread recipe...). 

What do you put in your eggy bread?

Naan Bread

Since last week, Fridays have become 'Curry Friday', and me being Japanese, Andy being a big fan of Japanese curry, curry home means Japanese curry. And I thought I would treat Mr with freshly made naan breads after a long week away from home...

These naan breads are very easy to make, and they take much less time than most of other breads because there is only one proving stage.

Recipe for Naan Bread.

I add yoghurt and honey (these two ingredients are my recent favourites!) in the dough to get nice chewy but soft texture. Honey also gives a hint of sweetness which goes super well with spicy curry!

The basic dough is so simple and versatile that you can add cheese, seeds, nuts, whatever you like in it to spice it up. I'd even put cinnamon sugar or coconuts to make it a sweet treat ;)
