I must be crazy yet again!

Yes, you read it right. I baked again today and almost the same things. I still have leftover evaporated milk from yesterday so I thought why not. Louisa gobbled down 3 egg tarts this morning and Lavigne had one and a half. This time round, I used the ready-to-roll puff pastry. Still, the pastry didn't turn out right. The crust for egg tart should be a cross between puff and shortcrust pastry. I will search for other recipes and experiment till I get the right one. Furthermore, the tarts I made today look more like the Portuguese version.

As for the bread, I binned the first batch of dough. It was too wet and sticky. I must have put in too much yeast. Each packet is 7g and the recipe requires 4g. I don't have a super scale to measure that so I just estimated. The second batch was better but still slightly wet as compared to yesterday's. I had trouble getting the dough to rise due to the sudden dip in temperature today so I switched on the heater and let it rest next to the radiator. Since the dough wasn't of the right consistency, I didn't manage to shape it into different patterns. Perhaps I'm too amatuerish. Other than making hotdog breads, the rest were all filled with chocolate chips and topped with flaked almonds. I'm sure they will be hit with the girls. Next on the list, Anpan bread!!!

The bread that I made yesterday was soft and fluffy. I'm going to stick to this recipe.
