Yoghurt & Kinako wholemeal bread

There are two secret ingredients in these super soft loaves of bread..., Yoghurt and Honey...

Try using yoghurt instead of butter and honey instead of sugar, and you'll find that the bread becomes amazingly soft. And even better, on the following day the bread will stay as soft as when it was freshly bake.

I added kinako (soya powder, my one from Japan had black sesame in it) in the dough which gave the loaf a nice bit of nutty flavour. Apparently, kinako is a good source of iron and calcium. That's good for my growing little lady;)

I love the way she eats...

Spinach bread

It seems that leafy vegetables are quite hard for a little person to eat, so I, as a baker, blend them into bread for my daughter.

This time I added spinach into my basic milk loaf dough. I'm not a vegetable specialist, but spinach looks like it has a lot of good stuff since Popeye eats it and gets stronger. And it certainly gave a beautiful bright colour to the bread!

To my surprise, it didn't taste of spinach that much but it was more like pandan... strange, but rather nice...




Lana loves it too. :D

Mix vegetable bread

Recently my daughter has developed a new habit... When she decides she doesn't want certain foods, she drops them on the floor, and that happens quite often with green vegetables...

I don't want to force her to eat something she doesn't fancy, but as I want her to grow big and strong (not small and strong, that's me! ;D) I thought I should at least make an effort to interest her in eating veges.

So.., I put mix veges in my bread dough... hehe.., mischievous...
But look! She was loving it! I guess she did notice the veges in the bread but she didn't seem to mind! Not only that, when I toasted one for myself, she wanted that one too. ;)

I think this is going to be my technique to make her eat more vegetables!
