Yogurt Bread

I didn't realise I've not been blogging for the past 1 week... Have I been busy? Looking back, I didn't bake much, so why ain't I blogging? Instead of staying "glued" to my lappy, I had spent some good quality time with DD1. I've been neglecting her ever since the arrival of DD3. She just started Primary 1 this year but I've left her alone to do her homework and her own revision.

I basically don't have much time to supervise DD1 as DD3 is on total breastfeeding and is a light sleeper, most of my time are spent taking care of DD3. So how do I find time to bake? My bakes are using done during my meals preparation or while the kids are having their meals. Yes, I multi-task. While cooking, I may be whipping up something somewhere in the kitchen, making the best out of my time. I always plan my schedule ahead, so that I can maximise time, effort and energy.

Ever since I went back to my parents to help out during the school holidays, I've not been baking any bread. I was flipping through my recipes and decided on the Yogurt Bread since I've got a big tub sitting in the fridge, calling out to me to utilise it ;-)

Again, I doubled the recipe and yields 8 small buns (50g each) and 4 small loaves (125g each).

I baked this on Wednesday and it's still soft even when we had it for breakfast today :-)
