Assorted Breads

Tried making bread again, hoping to master bread-making mah! Haahaa... Okie, this tray of breads was made last evening! Called them assorted bread as they got different fillings in them! Well actually there are only 2 types of fillings lah! The ones on the left (w parlsey) was custard breads & those on the right are hotdog buns (can see lah hor!)

This is the interior of the custard bread. Maybe the fillings are too little? Can't really taste the custard! As I do not know how to make a bread with custard fillings, I just try my luck! I followed the method given on the custard powder tin. Of coz, w these small breads, I just used a bit of the ingredients, maybe tat's y the taste & looks are not that well-done. Think they looked more like garlic bread huh? Heehee...

Well, how much did they flare? Actually quite happy with this round of result! At least dh commented that they looked nice & different from what I normally made. Okie... he always complained that I lack of creativity (Yes, indeed I am!). Lucky that he is "sometimes" there to enlighten me on my faults! Normally after a few failure bakes, he will start to "open" his golden mouth to give ideas & advice. Tho he is not an expert in baking, but he is creative enough to give the correct/relevant advice.

How to make Custard Fillings: (Quoted: Bird's Custard)

1) Put 2 tablespoons of custard powder into a basin with 1-2 tablespoons of sugar.
2) Mix smoothly with 2 tablespoons of milk taken from a 570ml (1 pint) of milk. Put the rest of the milk on to heat in a saucepan.
3) When nearly boiling, pour on to the mixed custard in the basin, stirring well.
4) Return the custard to the saucepan & bring to a boil, stirring all the time.
