Apple Bun



Soft and moist sweet bun with homemade apple filling, using Granny Smith Apples with a hint of lemon zest. You will find chunks of apple rolled up with a sprinkle of sugar and baked till golden brown.

Sourdough with Flax Seed


Most flavourful bread one could sink the teeth into. With just a light spread of butter, crusty on the outside, and moist, chewy and surprisingly light on the crumb. This is just white bread, but using sourdough gives it a special flavour, no yeast added, and let it rise slowly for 4 hours. Flax seed is added to give the crunch and earthy taste. Had so much fun scoring my bread.

Tiramisu




Apple Turnover



Homemade puff pastry, not as difficult as one would imagine. Just with a little patience, it is better than store bought. The product is endless, sweet with apple filling or even with blueberry, or even chocolate. Then the savoury such as chicken pie, curry puff, tuna ......

For the filling, I use Granny Smith Apples, sweeten it lightly with sugar, lemon juice and zest and butter. Set it on puff pastry, fold it over and bake till golden brown. Then all it takes is a light dusting of icing sugar and need I say more?
