Fresh Start Daily

I made chocolate bars today. I bought chocolate for baking (dark and sweetened), melted it in the microwave, and added some cashew nuts and raisins. Then I poured it into a rectangular dish to cool, and refrigerated it.

I’m not a chocolate girlie but I fancied the idea of customizing it. So, voila! 🤎

Papa had been requesting for siopao and I didn’t have the time so I took the opportunity to make some today because I have time. 🙂

Ingredients:

Siopao dough:
260 ml warm (oat) milk
2 tsp dry instant yeast
2 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 Himalayan salt
500 g all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
100 g sugar
2 tbsp olive oil
lime

Methods:

• Combine the warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Mix well and let it stand for to minutes or until it’s foamy.
• In another bowl, combine the flour, rest of the sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix until it’s well incorporated.
• Add the oil and the lime juice into the flour mixture.
• Add the yeast mixture and mix until it’s well combined.
• Knead the dough until smooth and no longer sticky.
• Form the dough into a ball, cover with a cling wrap and let it rest until it doubles in size.

Filling:
salmon
onion
garlic
celery
red bell pepper
coriander
Himalayan salt
olive oil

I just sauteed everything in olive oil and cooked it well.
