Bread...my favourite. I love bread, almost all type of bread, especially the freshly baked ones - I can 'smell' them now. It's not the same with those commercially packed sandwhich bread. Though I love Gardenia's, but I prefer the fresh ones better. I love Sun Moulin's Queens Bread - but it is a luxury which I can only afford to have once a month.
My mother bakes bread and normally she would bakes like 30 pieces of dinner rolls at one go - which could last for about 2 weeks. One thing about bread is that you can freeze them and stored frozen for more than 2 weeks, without losing its freshness. My mother - she once had her own bakery. She loves cooking (and baking!). Unfortunately, she had to closed down her bakery after a few years operating as there was nobody to help her around (good skilled workers were hard to find back then, and moreover, it's in Kota Bharu).
I didn't realise that bread making was such an easy thing to do. A month back, while discussing on family budget, we decided to try making our own bread. We did and eventhough our first try wasn't that good, it certainly was good to us. We've been making our own bread since then. Now, I can have that lovely aroma of freshly baked bread every Sunday morning.
We have moved on to making savoury breads after trying our hands on normal plain bread several times. The difficult part is getting the fresh ingredient like fresh herbs. A few weeks back we tried baking rosemary and garlic foccacia bread. Turns out O.K. though not as what we're hoping it to be.
Though they're not as appealing as those in Delifrance or San Francisco Coffee's, but they tasted better than them, satisfaction guarantee!
