I use edible bamboo charcoal powder which I bought from the baker's shops in Msia. I'm sure it's available here too.

Bamboo charcoal powder... Sounds interesting... So how did you create the swirl effect using the BM?

Thanks, I'll go check it out... I'm sure my DD will love this.

You are most welcome. Yes, do get a packet to try. The taste is unique. My boys love it and so do our swimming pool friends. I like to bake these buns for our potluck parties with them.

Perhaps you may want to try your luck at Giant. Have seen them being sold there before they change the packaging, but not sure if it is still being sold in Giant now.

Brand is Master. Old packaging is yellow with green words.

Hmmm.. I'll try my best to explain, hope you understand this.

I took half the batter of the white bread about half hour before the kneading cycle ends then I put in the charcoal powder into the BM for mixing with the other half batter left in the machine. Understand so far? After the charcoal powder has been mixed thoroughly, I put in the plain batter/white bread batter into the charcoal batter to 'swirl', about 5 mins before the kneading cycle ends. Must monitor the kneading process closely lor.

Understand it theoretically, but will need to try it out to experience it... Thanks for sharing, sYEO.

You're welcomed. It's nice to share ideas and recipes, that's what this bread club is all about, right?

The technique was taught by a bread Shifu at another forum. Learnt that years ago and it's about the only pattern I know whenever I make these sausage buns :oops: :oops: and the sausages are no ordinary sausages. They are chicken satay sausages, again special request by the boys. They love these sausage buns.

Hi maid, can you share the name of this other bread forum? If it's not convenient to post, can PM me? Thanks.
