40mins Breadrolls

It's been some time since i last baked bread, for obvious reasons.. breadmaking is not an easy task and I'm not good at hand kneading. To make bread that's soft, fluffy and yummy, it's even more difficult.

I've tried breadmaking a few times before but results were nothing to shout about. It just tasted bread, nothing fantastic.

My very last attempt was a disaster as I think I've over proofed and over baked the dough.. end product was rock hard bread.. The exterior was rock hard but the interior was still palatable :p well, anyway it was a good lesson learnt.

These pictures were taken from my last breadmaking trial.

   Happy to see the yeast in action!

I left the dough to proof and went on to do other things, mistake! Wasted my efforts.

After that day, I've been wanting to try again but then was too busy with big boy's year end exam prep, followed by new school year (yes, Lil boy joins his gor gor in Pri Sch this year) and other stuff. Until recently, my passion was reignited after coming across few recipes that promises soft n fluffy bread. Methods described in the recipes looked manageable, I was determined to succeed.

Few weeks ago, I've finally braced myself to give it a go. I chose this 40mins quick bread recipe which i think is the easiest among all. True enough,  it was a success and a hit with my family.
