Ciabatta

He made them, baked them, I eat them. I love my baker husband!

I end up making some Tuna Cream pasta with Garlic Ciabatta toast. Yummms! Have a great dinner, everyone. 

Wheat?

It's not new, but he wanted some changes & proof to himself that he is able do it. This was done way back in 2012. Wheat croissant & fruit danishes. Well done, my baker husband.

Brown & Rustic.

 Gorgeous, yes? Well I sure think it is. Latest made & bake [&] photo taken by my baker husband. 

Plain ol' Sourdough.

French Baguette, 100% levain & T55 flour.

Dark Rye Bread, 80% rye flour & 100% levain.

L-R : Cereal [mixed seeds & oats] Loaf, Rye Loaf & Campalliou Sourdough, 100% levain

Chocolate Croissant, beautiful layers made by 100% levain. 

Sundried Foccacia bread. Onions & rosemary are added to give some flavors.

Braided Cranberry Raisins Chocochip with Mixed Seeds loaf.  

I don't really have all the recipe above. But if anyone is interested, I'll try to write down the recipes and method of making them. I mean, like I mentioned in all my post on bread, I am no master in this topic, as the master of baking is snoring right now as I write this. Hahahahahah! He works like 14 hours straight everyday, and comes home after work to have his meal and bam! goodnight.

But... I will still keep trying. Till then, enjoy them photos and hope to see you guys again. Happy browsing! Feel free to leave any comments or inquiries. Maybe this will make the baker start blogging and giving them answers. LOL!

Moving with the Dough.

I told my partner, in future, if we couldn't find for ourself, a shop lot to open our bread & bakery business (if we are short in money, that it), we used our legs to sell them if we have too! I imagine the idea of bakery on wheels. Move+able bakery shop! Even back in 1960, the idea of fresh baked bread concept was in the adverts. Guess my ideas ain't new afterall. 

Well the only moving thing that's the closest to my crazy idea is (in my country, that is) the "roti man". Yes, the guy who sells all sorts of bread & junks too. Heheheheh! Every evening, you will hear the "roti man" on his motorcycle, uses his horn to indicate that his near. We would run like mad (first shouting, "Uncle roti man! Tunggu!!") looking for our mom to ask for some money. And still shouting "Tunggu! Roti man, tunggu!!" LOL! But I just realized, its been a long time since I saw a roti man near my home. It seems like it is slowly vanishing as the years go past quickly. Has the technology made kids or adults stop playing or do any outdoor activity?

Boo-hoo techno.

Anyways, moving on. I saw a photo from Trendhunter and was inspired by it. It's Del  Popolo, San Francisco's famous traditional pizzeria foodtruck.

Snippets from the website:-

"...Del Popolo is housed in a twenty-foot transatlantic shipping container that's been re-purposed and modified into a kitchen. A wall of glass doors exposes the interior, including the traditional Italian-made wood-fired oven..."

How smart is that! My partner's been talking about if only he could baked his dough in a clay oven, and voila! I found the perfect inspiration for my crazy mobile idea with his "I-think-its-not-possible-to-have-a-clay-oven-in-your-crazy-mobile-bakery". And when I showed him the photos, he was like,

"Cool."

And my thoughts - Men.

I kept doing more research, Google-ing, "movable bakery, bakery truck, bread van, bread mobile" but nah, nothing came closed to what I have in mind. What I got was, I think, mostly are delivery bread van/truck/vehicle/bike. 

My only options was, I've got to take the concept of mobile food truck and juxtaposed it to my crazy mobile bakery shop. These are some of my favorites. 

If you're wondering how is my hometown's food vendor or food truck looks like? Well, it ain't that grand or tastefully designed, but it sure damn well sells good food! Maybe cause it's not really our culture to "pimp" our trucks or carts or vendors, or maybe we ain't that creative enough, therefore, that is why I will, one fine day, be the, "among the few", to start this concept. Hehehehehe..! Wow! What a dream huh? 

See, pretty boring, yes. The same van type, white and boring. Hehehehe. One day, a bakery shop on wheels will be near your street. And it will be awesome! LOL!!

Sweet Layers!

Hey guys! Just a quick post.

The sweet savor of a flaky skin,

Dough in layers, 

Layers of beauty within,

The caramelized coat on the lushes fruits,

All in one bite as it taste so good.

Small and petite,

For everyone's treat,

Never to fail,

To to tell a tale.

For a small sweet savor,

Blast with loads of flavors,

Telling one a true story,

Of a man from the bakery.

Stood the passionate baker,

14 hours straight!

Who rolled, fold, baked and made.

With love of course, for God's sake! 

(Hehehehehehe! Bon Appetit!)

The Wonders of Online!

Don't you just love the online Internet world. Everything on your fingertips. Everything and anything. These are some of my faves. And most of them are food! Hehehehe! Sweet tooth anyone? I sure have one!

This ain't no Willy Wonka, but when I saw Tumbador Chocolate on TV and the host get to do and eat the chocolate bar that they make, I was going all goo-goo ga-ga! Gosh, how I wish I'm in NY now! Took this from Tumbador Chocolate's website. 

" Jean-François Bonnet, Executive Pastry Chef (formerly of New York's renowned restaurant Daniel) selects only the world's finest ingredients for Tumbador® Chocolate today. In 2003, world-renowned chef Daniel Boulud notes that Bonnet "has the technique of an artisan and the creativity of an artist. He combines it with simplicity and respect for delicate flavors and textures..."

Next, I've always love the ideas of desserts in a jar. It's so convenient and easy to use. You don't waste papers or cups as it's pretty much environmental friendly. You eat whats in the jar and wash it to reuse it. Here's some pretty delicious online website to check out! 

1. Banana Appeal





























2. Wicked Good Cupcakes

3. All Jarred Up

This is cool. Pies in a jar, anyone?






























4. Hot Cakes Molten Chocolate Cakery

Another cool and creative idea. Take and Bake Molten Chocolate cake to take home. You be the baker. How cool is that! I've always dream of doing this, and so great to know that it's out there!

Wow! That sure makes me wanna do some jar-ring baking! While you lucky fellas get to grab some of the goodies above, I can only sit and watch and browse. We got some back in my hometown, but it's just not "there" yet. Maybe one day. 

So the online browsing continues. If you guys are looking for baking with a "vintage" style of supplies, I found a cool website. I must say, they have a lot of edible accessories for your baking needs. May I say pretty yummy too.

Layer Cake Shop brings you to a Vintage Inspired baking supplies. They have from Baking cups to Candy making tools to Decorating sprinkles and more. How interesting!

Phew! I'm just tired looking at all those yummy websites! Used all my sugar and gotten hyped up just browsing through! Jealous I am that those who are anywhere near the shop gets to grab a bite. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy this page as much as I was just browsing. 

Have a great Saturday! Till the next blog post. Goodnight!
