kue Lumpur (Indonesian mini mud cake)

 This one of my favorite traditional snack. I usually eat them for breakfast and sometimes snack too :) Making Indonesian snack is a bit tricky sometimes but it's all worthed because once they're done I want to eat more and more :-)

Here in Melbourne we have a few Indonesian supermarket and they occasionally sell some tools for Indonesian cake/ snack. It is a bit pricey but I'm alright with that for once in a while because I wouldn't bring them  by my self from Indonesia, it's too heavy! or too big :-P

I went to Chinese groceries the other day and found quite a lot of Indonesian product / packet food there which is surprising (I wasn't expected at all)  I suppose Indonesian product are getting famous (common) here. I would even find some products in any the local groceries here.

And Last night when I watched Master Chef Australia they using agar-agar powder (like gelatine) but it will set in the room temperature after cooked. They made me laugh because they spell it as "ega-ega" instead of "Agar-Agar" hehe... :grin: :lol:

Anyway, I got this recipe from my Indonesaian pocket recipe book :-) enjoy!

Barbie Mermaid

Helloo....time to catch up again with my blog.. since I joined Indonesian  food blogger and promised to post some update. Here I am just found my daughter's 4th birthday cake from last November (hehe..)


She wanted a mermaid theme cake, so I came up with this cake after browsing on flickr... because I baked the cake a day before, on the actual day only take me a bit quick to decorate :) We didn't have a big celebrations that time but I did invited some close friends for tea time, and bring one cake to her kinder for her friends and teacher . And  i actually made 2 cakes but only one topper so by the time I finished with one cake I just use the same topper for another cake :P

She actually moved her kinder to the new one because we moved house, so this is really good to remind her about her 3 y/o kinder friends and teacher.
And for her kinder she also wore the cutie dress I made.



With some handmade pouch for the lollybag I really satisfied with my daughter birthday this time :)
best of all
When her Daddy coming home from work she was so surprise because she got a bike that she wanted...

Roti Menul-menul ala Ti

 Melbourne sudah mulai dingin, enaknya bikin camilan yang hangat buat teman minum teh. Tadinya ngak ada rencana untuk bikin roti, tapi pas lihat2 bahan kering di pantry trus saya ingat masih punya bread flour, ragi, bread improver & abon ya jadinya bikin roti deh...

 Sambil menunggu proses pembuatan roti (yang memang harus sabar) saya juga bikin double chocolate fig slice (semacam brownies) karena di belakang rumah ada pohon fig yang berbuah lebat tapi saya ngak terlalu suka makan fig. Dari pada terbuang percuma ya sut saya langsung cari resep kue yang menggunakan fig di resepnya.

Terus terang ini pertama kalinya saya bikin roti dengan hasil yang sangat memuaskan mungkin karena penambahan gula yang lumayan banyak & pembentukan roti yang lumayan gendut jadi teksturnya empuk sekali, jadi teringat bread kingdom atau bread top. Tapi tetap dengan bantuan heavy duty mixer (pakai bread hooknya), soalnya ngak kuat kalau harus menguleni sendiri :P


Ada beberapa resep yang langsung mencampurkan ragi dengan bahan-bahan lain, sebenarnya cara tersebut sah-sah saja tetapi ada resikonya karena terkadang ragi yang disimpan terlalu lama sudah mati yang akan mengakibatkan roti tidak mengembang sempurna. 
Jadi saya lebih suka membuat biang roti terlebih dahulu supaya yakin kalu ragi yang saya pakai benar-benar bagus.

ini resep yang saya pakai.



Roti Menul-menul ala Ti

Bahan Biang :

1 ½ bks Ragi instant

¼ cup air hangat

1 sdt gula pasir

Aduk rata & diamkan sampai berbuih/ mengembang (5-10 menit), jika tidak mengembang ulangi proses berarti raginya sudah mati/ kadaluarsa .

Bahan Dasar Roti:

500 gram Tepung Cakra (bread flour)

125 gram gula (boleh dikurangi menurut selera)

½ sdt garam

1 sdt bread improver

1 butir telur

110 ml air

115 ml susu cair

90 gram margarine

Extra tepung

Isi : saya pakai coklat meises , topping d. Bawang cincang, Mayonnaise & abon

Olesan:

1 kuning telur di campur rata dengan 25-50ml susu cair

Cara:

1.Campur semua bahan roti, masukkan bahan biang uleni sebentar, masukkan margarine & uleni lagi hingga kalis. (Tambahkan extra tepung sedikit demi sedikit bila perlu sampai adonan tidak melekat /lengket).

2.Tutup adonan dengan plastic wrap. Diamkan adonan selama 1 jam sampai mengembang.

3.Bentuk & isi menurut selera, diamkan lagi selama 30 menit, sementara itu panaskan oven 200° C.

4.Olesi dengan campuran kuning telur

5.Panggang Roti 15-25 menit (tergantung besar roti)

Untuk topping abon bentuk adonan bulat pipih & jangan diisi, pada tahap no 5 taburi dengan daun bawang cincang  baru di panggang. Setelah roti dingin olesi dengan mayonnaise & Abon.

Siap dinikmati... Yummy!

Good luck :)
