Taste good and smell wonderfully, only setback is the appearance :sad: it doesnt turn out lustre green like store bought ones ... as u can see from the pic, it's pale green ... ...

Wow, L-earner :drool: :drool:

I guess the store bought ones use food colouring whereas yours is all natural? :ugogirl:

Tks schweppes! :love: Yes, that's th only setback I guess ...

Happy mama, I used blender, blend 15 pandan leaves (I ks, recipe says 10-12) with 50ml of water, then squeeze out the juice. Th raw juice v green, but baking no so green, only achieve pale green.

Oh you blended it. I asked my helper to pound the leaves... Poor girl no matter how she pounded the juice didn't come out as much. Maybe it's time for me to invest in a blender.

..I first started out with my Z baking 100% wholemeal breads. But it never turned out 'nice.' It had a dense look and taste. So I experimented with the portions using bread and wholemeal flour and finally came up with a 1 cup wholemeal and 1 cup bread flour combi for the bread to turn out just nice.

What about you?? Do you bake 100% wholemeal breads??

autumnbronze
Yes, I bake 100% wholemeal - few years ago, DH and I went on the South Beach Diet :lol: Since then, never quite able to go back to white bread.

I have same problems as you - dense look and taste - my first few loaves look like bricks It is better now : I added (1) vital wheat gluten (2) Lecithin (instead of other fats). Last few days I have been trying to make rolls...ie dough cycle then shape the rolls but the rising is poor. Last night I tried to spread seaseme on the roll but the bun just collapsed ! Hahaha.....update me on your wholemeal baking adventure.

Hi everyone,

Like csc, I have bought a z-machine at OG and tried baking my 1st bread. It’s a delightful experience. However, my dh commented the bread not so fragance as gardenia and the bread felt stiff on the next day.

I used bake king bread flour and 4star butter. Any advice by our 前辈?

Thanks!

Tangs and Isetan Scotts carry the Kai knife too. Cheap and good.

Schweppes, they do? Hah, to think the sales person told me Kai is exclusive to Taka. :rant:

I also saw it at Isetan, Nex
