Knock back the dough and stretch and fold, and then roll the dough into a baguette shape.

Place on a baguette tray or a large baking tray, cover and leave to prove until it has doubled in size.

Heat a roasting dish in the bottom of the oven and pour in some water to create some steam (this will help form the crust).

Just before baking, slash the top of each baguette three times.

Bake the baguettes for 30 minutes. Then drop the temperature to 200c and cook for 10 minutes. The baked baguettes should be golden-brown and have a slight sheen to them.

GARDEN UPDATE : PART 17

السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ
Peace be upon you


Hari ni nak update tentang pokok-pokok kesayangan pulak. Maaf ye kawan-kawan, tak sempat nak singgah rumah you all laaaa... :(
Nanti I usahakan jenjalan ke rumah you all tau.

Ini lah dia si penggemar daun kari I tu.. masa ni anak-anaknya I dah penyek dah so tinggal dia ni je lagi nak di hapuskan.

Tengok lah tu pokok kari kesayangan, habis daunnya rosak dek anak-anak kumbang putih tu. Pantang tak belek pokok ni sehari dua pasti penuh aje anak-anak kumbang tu kat daun ni.

Entah kenapa daun kari di bahagian pagar tepi rumah ni daunnya kekuningan. Tak cukup makan kah? Nanti ya, hari minggu Mommy kasi makan banyak-banyak.

Ini pula si penggemar daun ros, daun pudina, daun kesum, daun kari, daun limau purut, pendek cerita serba serbi dia gemar! Sigh! Habis daun compang camping dek kerja dia ni.

  

Pokok ni di sedekah oleh colleague Chinese I haritu. Tumbuh bagai juara padahal I tertinggal di opis (dalam plastic) selama dua hari (Sabtu Ahad). Tapi sihat walafiat lagi dia dalam plastic tu. Bila di tanam, tumbuh bagai juara pulak. Pokok apa ya? Adakah pokok oregano? Dia kata dalam kumpulan mint jugak tapi tak tau nama. Ye ye.. I tanam dalam drawer hahaha.

Ini pula pokok Roselle yang I beli benihnya dari Semua Menjadi.

Tak sabar nak tunggu besar dan berbuah.

Ini lah saki baki bunga Red Devil tu.. Saja nak tunjuk lagi pada you all :)

Ini pula si Peachy yang dah blooming. Tapi bunganya tak berapa elok. Kekurangan khasiat barangkali.

Ini pula... Eh eh! Kenapa si gemok ni termasuk dalam cerita garden Mommy ni (excuse his tahi lalat besar kat hidung tu. Bekas luka tapi belum terkopek sepenuhnya)? Si Ben ni tunggu Mommy dia berkebun sampai mengantuk ya? Alololo siannya dia tu! Toby pula jalan-jalan di luar pagar makan angin. Ben ni aje yang baik duduk dalam kawasan rumah aje. Good boy!

    Ini dinner Ahad malam haritu. Dua hari berturut-turut I buat Sushi haha. Cuba teka I taruk filling apa untuk sushi paling kanan tu? Siapa dapat teka dia memang terror!
 Sekian.

Love,

Nak recipe ke? Tak yah lah.... hihi.. senang aje membuatnya.

TAUHU ANORA

السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ
Peace be upon you


Apakah Tauhu Anora? I pun tak pasti kenapa di beri nama Tauhu Anora. Adakah sempena nama si pembuatnya, I tak pasti. Tapi tauhu ini sangat terkenal di Taman Melawati (maaf jika salah). Tauhu kering yang di sumbat dengan kentang dan mix vegies dan di makan dengan sos khas membuatkan ia menjadi kegilaan ramai. Apakah rahsianya? I pun tak pasti hihi..

Tauhu / Tofu

 

Ingredients

20 pcs dried tofu (I used the small dried tofu)

4 potatoes (diced)

1/4 cup of mix veggies (carrot, peas, corn)

3 cloves garlic (finely chopped)

A cup of water

Salt to taste

2 eggs

A pinch of white pepper

3-4 tbsp vegetable oil (to cook the filling)

2 tbsp finely chopped parsley leaves

5-6 cup of vegetable oil for frying

Method

Heat oil in a wok over medium heat. Cook garlic until fragrant and lil bit brown. Add in potatoes, salt and pour in the water. Cook till the water almost absorbed. Add in the mix veggies and cooked until the water fully absorbed. Set aside to cool.

Heat oil in a heavy bottomed sauce pan over medium heat. Whisk eggs with white pepper. Add parsley into the potatoes mixture and stuff  into the dried tofu, dip it into the egg mixture and deep frying until golden brown or until the tofu crisp enough. Depending on your sauce pan size, you can cook 4-5 pcs tofu in the same time. Repeat the same steps for the remaining tofu.

Drain the excess oil and set aside.

Sauce

Ingredients

3 cloves garlic (finely pounded)

1 cm ginger (finely pounded)

1 tbsp chili paste

2 tbsp soy sauce 
2 tbsp chili sauce

1 tbsp fermented beans (finely pounded)

5 cm gula melaka (I bought the bigger size one)

1 1/2 cup of water

1 tbsp corn starch

1-2 tbsp vegetable oil

Method

Heat oil in a medium size heavy bottomed sauce pan over medium heat. Cook garlic and ginger until fragrant and add in the chili paste. Simmer till the chili paste cooked enough and add in the fermented beans, soy sauce, chili sauce, water, gula melaka and cook for 15-20 minutes.

Mix the corn starch with some water and pour into the sauce. Cook until the sauce thickened. Turn off the heat and set aside to cool.

To serve, pour the sauce over the tofu and garnish with thinly sliced bird's eye chilies and deep fried shallots.

Note :

I tak taruk garam into the sauce sebab soy sauce and taucu dah cukup masin.

Bila sos dah masak dan sejuk I blend sos tadi supaya lebih smooth.

  

Love,
