My new resolution for this new year is to prepare breakfast for my kids, a fresh bread if possible for them to bring to school.
Oh lalalalalalaa......how can I possibly do that? The secret is to make 2 or 3 recipe and keep it in a freezer, whenever I want to make the bread, just thaw it and my kids can have a freshly bake bread for them to eat for breakfast and to bring to school. As simple as that!

And this morning I prepared a simple butter roll, hmmmm..... But I rolled it to look like a croissant but it's not croissant, just a plain butter roll. Nice to eat when it's still warm and eat it with olive butter and strawberry jam.
Here is the recipe.And its from Pook

300g ............................... Bread flour
4g .................................... Salt
30g .................................. Sugar
40g .................................. Butter (soft)
30g .................................. Egg (lightly beaten)
6g .................................... Instant yeast
150ml ............................... Water
*Using the rest of the egg for egg wash by mixing with 1tbsp of water.


Sprinkle the yeast over the water, rest for 10 minutes.
Mix the flour, sugar and salt together.

Pour the egg, water and yeast mixture, and butter into the flour bowl.
Mix until combine and turn into a soft dough.
Take out off the bowl and knead until smooth.

Put the dough into a lightly buttered bowl, cover with the plastic wrap and let the dough rise until double in size, about 1 hour.

Shaping the butter rolls:
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Line a baking sheet with baking paper or silicone baking mat.

Divide the dough into 10 pieces and roll into a ball.
Press the ball into 10cm round.

Flip the lower sides of the round and press to seal the round will turn into a long triangle.
Roll with rolling pin until 20cm long.
Roll the dough, by starting from the wider part into a roll.
Cover the rolls with damp towel and let the rolls rise until almost double in size about 30 minutes.

Brush with egg wash and bake for 13 -15 minutes or until golden brown.
Take out off the oven and let the rolls cool on a wire rack.
When serving, warm the rolls and serve with your meal or with jam and butter.


Still not to late to wish Happy New Year everyone!!!!!
