Matcha Marble Red Bean Loaf ~ 抹茶红豆面包

 


I had been surfing the internet for easy bread recipes since my breadmaker decided to call it a day and I found many interesting breadmaking videos on Youtube.   Some recipes do not even require a mixer and the dough had to be mixed and kneaded by hand.  I managed to get tips from here and there and managed to make this Matcha Marble Red Bean Loaf and I'm quite satisfied with the result.  The current hot and humid weather is ideal for breadmaking and anything that requires yeast and proofing.

Korean Honey Citron Tea (柚子茶 ) Muffins

  I added a few tablespoonfuls of Korean Honey Citron Tea or Yuzu marmalade to a basic muffin recipe and the muffins were delicious. They were soft, nice, not crumbly with a bit of tangy taste of the Yuzu, well accompanied with a cup of piping hot coffee or tea. These muffins taste best when eaten warm.   A few teaspoonfuls of the marmalade mixed with water can be turned into a hot or cold drink to soothe the throat especially if there's a first sign of a cough. Korean Honey Citron Tea (柚子茶 ) Muffins     Ingredients 220 gm plain flour 70 gm caster sugar 2 tsp baking powder 5 Tbsp honey citron tea (Yuzu tea) marmalade 1 'L'egg 160 gm plain yoghurt 80 gm vegetable oil 1/4 tsp vanilla a pinch of salt Method Sift flour, baking powder and salt, set aside.
