Projek Meroti 2012

Setelah berbulan tak buat roti, finally yesterday, aku berjaya mengatasi kemalasan melampau dan berjaya menguli roti menggunakan mixer! hehe... Tak kuasa ler nak uli guna tangan. Since I was gone for more than 1 month, barang2 kat pantry tu sgt2 limited. I had to make do with whatever that I have. Mula2 plan nak buat floss buns, tapi tengok chicken floss dah habis. Bukak freezer, ada 7 pieces of hotdog tinggal. So I ended up with pizza buns and serunding buns. Serunding daging tu neighbour sebelah yang bagi. Sedap! :D

I'm still using the sweet bun recipe shared by Happy Flour. I love her recipe sebab aku tak payah guna any additive, and roti still lembut dan gebu. Lagipun I'm the kind yang, kalau dah sesuai dengan satu recipe, aku akan guna that recipe je unless buat kek. With roti, malas nak trial and error sebab it's time consuming bila buat roti ni. So, kalau aku end up dengan recipe yang tak menjadi, I'd be wasting my time.

Aku dah penah kena sekali, masa buat roti naik. Someone gave me a recipe, which she herself hasnt tried. Maybe because it was from a recipe book, she thought it's foolproof. Ended up, aku wasted more than 10 hours menunggu roti yang tak naik2. Memang frust! To me, if u wanna share a recipe, share a foolproof recipe which has been tried. Tak boleh expect orang mencuba untuk kita. Err.. that's my 2 cents. Sorry sangat kalau aku ada mengguris hati sesapa. It was unintentional.
