HOME MADE BREAD WITH CHEESE TOPPING

Home Made Sausage Buns

I guess everyone realises that the cost of breads and buns have been escalating consistently for the last year or so. Bakeries such as Bread Story do come out with rather unique creations and tastes but they can cost more than RM3 each. For a large household, getting buns for school or teatime snacks can be an ill-afford luxury. My kids seem to just love sausage buns so when I decided to try baking some buns lately, it was an easy decision as to what I should bake. Aside from not being able to adjust the heat for a nice finish (you can see it is a little burnt!), I wouldnt term this a "kitchen spill" as it tasted really soft and tasty, especially when eaten piping hot and straight out from the oven. I used sausages filled with cheeze for this one so it was extra scrumptious. Thinking of the first bite with cheeze oozing out at the sides makes me want to give this one another go.

Babble Breads and Buns

Who would have thought that I would end up making breads and buns myself? Not in my wildest dreams but I did...only because I know how much the kids would relish them...plus I sense that they were getting bored of stuff from the neighborhood bakery.

Making bread without a bread machine isn't quite as difficult as I thought. I made three varieties. A plain variety with just a couple of cheese strips on top for hubby and me, a raisin and cheese variety for Fats and Alien and a hot dog variety for Korean boy since that is his favourite. Wow piping hot breads and buns straight out from the oven really taste so much nicer and add them with a chunky slice of butter.....out of this world!!!

Cooking and baking new stuff for the family is soooo satisfying because they really know how to pile on the compliments and just seeing them devour the food so heartily is enough motivation for me to try anything.
