Lesson Plan: Yeast Breads (Lean & Rich Dough)
Description: Pandesal, Ensaymada, Coffee Bun, Cinnamon Rolls, etc.
So today they did the unthinkable....they broke our group apart and made us form different ones. You should have seen our faces and our silent cussing and puffing. We were like little children, haha! The good thing was I was paired with two other great girls...quiet and even keeled as well. Jojo and Jaja, on the other hand, had slight drama pairings that I knew I would hear about it when we went on our smoke...uh, I meant lunch break! Yeah, that's it.
I'm not so much a fan of Filipino breads including pandesal or ensaymada. However, I truly liked the recipe and outcome of our cinnamon rolls. We under baked it slightly and it was soft...almost like that of Cinnabon. That was the only thing I truly ate and took home with me.
I also enjoyed making the coffee bun. The coffee bun is really popular in the Asian countries. Many will say this bun was created in Malaysia, some say Singapore. This bun, however, is very similar to the Mexican bun, except the topping is made of a coffee mixture to give it a crumbly texture on top. Having tried Roti Mum's coffee bun, I was instantly hooked on this pastry. It has butter/salt filling and the bun is soft. I must admit the sweet and salty combo along with coffee taste is just divine! If I see a Roti Mum wherever I go, I have to make it a point to always get one. The ones we made, however, weren't as soft. I will definitely plan on making these on my own.
