Roti - The Recipe

Ok! Back from the gym. Before that kan, aku nak cerita kejadian semalam. I went to Jusco to buy barang2 untuk buat Japchae coz I promised hubby that I'll make lamb Japchae for him this Saturday. Plus, aku dah janji dengan Ju that aku akan bagi Japchae kat dia. So, off I went to Jusco, beli barang, then terus pegi ambik the girls from school. I was a bit early, pukul 12.40pm aku dah park kereta tepi sekolah the girls. I called K.Siti, ingatkan dia dah sampai sekolah, tapi semalam dia lambat pulak.

Aku pun turun dari kereta, tunggu the girls depan sekolah. It was scorching hot yesterday, pastu drizzle pulak tengah2 panas tu. Aku lupa nak bawak payung, maka, berdiri la aku kat tepi pagar sekolah under matahari yg sangat panas dan hujan renyai2. Tiba-tiba, datang seorang yang aku kenal, tapi dia selalu buat2 tak kenal aku kalau his wife is around, bukak his payung and payungkan aku. I was like.. WT$%^#^%$^$&@!~. Depan bini, punya la, senyum pun tak, tapi bila bini takde, so charmy dengan aku. Huh! Kalau ikutkan, memang malas aku nak duduk bawah payung dengan dia, but it was too hot, maka, terpaksa la jugak. Pastu, bila dia nampak anak dia keluar, terus dia buat2 tak kenal aku, boleh? Maybe takut anak2 cakap kat bini dia kot. Lain kali malas aku nak cakap dengan dia. Buat aku menyampah je.

Anyway, petang semalam, oleh kerana aku sempat berdiri beberapa minit bawah matahari yg panas tu, before dipayungkan oleh lelaki hypochrite tu, aku kena heatstroke. It was pretty bad. Muka rasa panas semacam. Dah la semalam aku teramat busy. Aku yang jarang2 tido petang, unless I'm sick, boleh terlelap lepas asar. Dah nak dekat pukul 8pm, baru terjaga. Letihnya..

Ok! Now, the recipe. For Roti Isi Abon, aku guna this recipe.

Recipe:

500g All purpose Flour (aka plain flour)

1 Packt Mauripan 

2 Tbspn Susu Tepung

1/4 c butter - melted

1 egg

250ml warm water

4. Take dough out of bowl and place on a flat clean dry surface which was sprinkled with flour. Knead dough with hands for about 15 minutes or so. Dough should be soft & sticky and feel light to touch.
TIP: to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands a lot, rub vegetable oil on them or take a piece of margarine and rub into your hands then continue knead dough. Do not add flour, it'll make you bread dough too heavy if you do.
5. Place dough in a bowl and place a light towel over it and let dough rise until doubled.
