    1. Thank you and your family's support of my bread recipes :)
      To make a non-coffee bread, you can eliminate the coffee powder, the hot water and use 130 to 135g of fresh milk in total :)

    1. Thank you Joey for sharing your thoughts with me 💕 Happy to know you like my recipe presentation 😆 I've tried Blue Jacket flour from a prize I've won. I bought Prima flour because it is a home brand - my little effort in supporting home-grown industry, hehe 😂
