Banana bread: $6.0 for eight bread

Oh yes, again, my favorite bananas! :-D

This banana bread is completely different from the banana "loaf" bread that you can find in the U.S. These are individual banana bread, the size of which is more similar to the size of dinner rolls. The other difference is: there is no butter added in the dough of these banana bread. Yup, No butter. The only butter you  can find is as garnish on top of the bread and they are melted when the bread is baked in the oven. Some powder sugars were used as garnish too.

Even though no butter is used in the bread, the banana has added enough fat and moist to make the bread soft and good. These are the "tropical" bread!

Ingredients:



Bread flour, whole wheat flour, cake flour, condensed milk, milk, yeast, salt, unsalted butter, powder sugar, flaxseed, wheat germ, and bananas

Taro bread: $12.0 for eight bread

I think I just cannot describe how much I love taro. Light purple is its original color and once you add butter, sugar, and some milk with it, you will have the creamy creamy taro paste! It was just awesome! And this also tells you how much I love this soft soft taro bread!

The only disadvantage is: I cannot get taro in the city I live. I have to drive an hour to go to the oriental market  and get the taro. Otherwise, I am pretty sure I will make this taro bread or use taro in my dessert more often.

Ingredients:

Bread flour, whole wheat flour, cake flour, egg, sugar, milk, salt, taro, unsalted butter, whipped cream, flax seed, and yeast



Loaf bread with raisins and walnuts: $7.0 for one loaf (appox 8*4.5*4.5 inch)

Raisins and walnut are great combination in the bread. Raisins add the natural sweetness whereas chopped walnuts add the crunchiness into the bread and both of them are considered as healthy good food. On top of this, I added balck sesame powder and flax seed to the bread.

The bread smelled so good and was really soft. I love home-made bread. :)

Ingredients:

Bread flour, whole wheat flour, egg, sugar, milk, yeast, salt, unsalted butter, black sasame powder, flax seed, raisin, and walnuts

Basic white loaf bread: $4.0 for one loaf (appox 8*4.5*4.5 inch)

The white loaf bread is basic as well as classic.

I decided to make this basic bread yesterday because I suddenly wanted to have the thick toasted bread. In Taiwan, the loaf bread can be sliced thin or thick. The thick one is perfect with peanut butter or garlic butter. Just need to smear the peanut butter or garlic butter, toast it in the oven, and ding done! Of course you can do the same thing to the thin sliced bread but I just feel more satisfied with the thick sliced bread. And  that is my husband's breakfast today too. :)

Ingregients:

Bread flour, whole wheat flour, egg, sugar, 2% organic milk, salt, unsalted butter, and yeast

Dinner rolls with oatmeal and sunflower seeds: $5.5 for eight rolls

I twisted the dough a little bit to shape these dinner rolls. Also, I garnished the dinner rolls with oatmeal and sunflower seeds.

Ingredients:

Bread flour, whole wheat flour, cake flour, 2% organic milk, egg, unsalted butter, sugar, salt, yeast, oatmeal, and sunflower seeds

Sweet corn bread

Sweet corn bread is one of the most common breads that you can find in the bakery in Taiwan. It is simple but delicious. I added some wasabi into the mayo and mix it with the sweet corns and it turns out pretty good.

Ingredients:



Bread flour, whole wheat flour, cake flour, egg, vitamin D organic milk, sugar, unsalted butter, yeast, salt, sweet corn, light mayo,black pepper, wasabi, dried basil

Loaf bread with bacon and cheese: $8.0 for one loaf (apprx 8*4.5*4.5 inch)

I still remember the first time that I had this bread in Taiwan.....it was so good!!! Bacon and cheese is one of the best combination in the bread. It tastes like pizza too. :) I don't remember seeing this kind of bread in the US and, all of sudden, I just feel I want to make this loaf bread with bacon and cheese today. And I used my Kitchen Aid for the first time too. Love it! As usual, the smell of cheese and bread in the kitchen was great, which is one of my favorite period of time too.

Who can say no to a healthy home-made bread with bacon and cheese??!!

Ingredients:

Bread flour, whole wheat flour, cake flour, 2% organic milk, unsalted butter, egg, yeast, sugar, salt, black pepper, onion powder, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, dried basil, bacon, pizza cheese, and chedder cheese

Garlic cheesy bread

Whenever I bake garlic bread in the kitchen, I just cant resist the smell of the garlic (though your breath does not smell good after eating the garlic bread.) I believe many people love garlic bread. This time, I am using real grated garlic as garnish and, on top of this, I added Parmesan cheese too. Garlic and cheese.......yum yum!

Ingredients:

Bread flour, cake flour, 2% organic milk. sugar, yeast, salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, grated garlic, unsalted butter, dried basil, and Parmesan cheese
