Hi, may I know what's the difference using raw sugar and castor/fine sugar ?
ReplyDeleteHi Diana, raw sugar, which is the unbleached form of sugar, not only has cane sugar taste but also has better nutritious value. It's okay to use fine sugar :)
DeleteCan I use cocoa powder insread of baking chocolate ? If yes, can advise how much must I increase the cold milk ? Thank you.

DeleteYes, you can add about 1 tsp of cocoa powder in place of the baking cocoa. You need not have to adjust the milk quantity as the amount of cocoa powder is not big :)
DeleteHow long knead to breadmaker for it?
ReplyDeleteHi Teresa, my Breadmaker takes about 20 minutes to mix and knead, then it'll take about 80 minutes to do the first proofing :)
DeleteHi NgaiLeng , after deflating d dough do I still have to handknead d dough before dividing into portion ?
ReplyDeleteHi Sing Yee Fong, you can start dividing the dough immediately after deflating it :)
