3-in-1 premixed beverage powder is popular in Singapore. The premixed white coffee powder was packed with raw sugar and creamer for easy preparation. To enhance the aroma of the loaf, a small amount of cocoa powder and whipping cream have been added to the dough.
Thank you my Facebook Singapore Home Cook member Eileen Chua for inspiring this aromatic soft loaf :)

Hi
ReplyDeleteshould I cool d coffee mixture b4 pouring into d pan?
Hi Sing Yee Fong, you needn't have to wait for the coffee to cool down as the fresh milk will lower the temperature of the mixture :)

DeleteFor your ham n cheese buns how many days can i keep?
ReplyDeleteIf you keep them in fridge, I think they can be kept up to about 3 days. In room temperature, it's best to consume on the same day :)

DeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to use other types of coffee? Perhaps?
I had tried your Sweet Milk Buns last Sunday and they were good. They were still soft and fluffy this morning. But I sprinkled too much flour on top of the proofed dough before baking.

Hi Siaw Tan,
DeleteYes, you can use other flavor 3in1 coffee mix.
Glad to know you like the sweet milk buns. And thank you for sharing with me :)
Hi Goh
ReplyDeleteHow long can we store balance whipping cream in fridge?
Hi Jayna, the manufacturer usually instructed the consumer to use the open product within 3 days. But I usually will drag for about 1 week or so, as long as the milk doesn't curd, or have funny scent :)
DeleteHi. . can i follow yr steps but with mixer as I dun have bread maker?
ReplyDeleteHi Sofia, yes you can use a mixer to knead the dough. Maybe you can follow the steps, except adding the butter after the dough becomes smooth :)
DeleteHi NgaiLeng, sorry to disturb you. I was going to try out your recipe but there is something I need your advice. Because I am using a different BM, mine is a DonLim BM, hence I do not have a sweet dough function. May I check if there is any other function I can use?
ReplyDeleteHi Hwee Teng, sorry I'm not familiar with the DonLim BM function. If you can find a function which has a total mixing + kneading + proofing + baking time close to 2hr 55min, then that might be the function. As sweet bread has higher sugar content, so the proofing time and baking time is shorter than those normal function :)
DeleteI see...ok sure. Thank you for your guidance. Let me go give it a try. Hehe...thank you so much.
DeleteHappy baking :)
DeleteHi.. I don't have cake flour. Is it ok if I jus use bread flour?
ReplyDeleteYes, you use either bread flour or all purpose flour 😊
