Bear-Shaped Pork Floss Bread

Cute Bear Shaped Bread filled with pork floss! I have adapted the recipe from mosogourmet, a japanese youtuber who is super talented! I have changed the filling by using pork floss since I have no eggs to make any custard. However, the bread is lovely, but needed to be consumed on that day for better texture. It turned hard and dry the next day I eat it.

Bear-Shaped Pork Floss Bread
Ingredients:
200g bread flour
5g salt
5g yeast
15g sugar
120g water (you can use milk)
15g heavy cream
15g butter, softened

Steps:
1. Mix all the ingredients together except butter till combine, then add in butter and mix till smooth and shiny. Put into a greased bowl to let it proof for 1 hour.

2. The 1st proofing will double in size.

3. Put onto a floured surface table, and roll out using a rolling pin. Cut into 8 round shape weighing around 35-40g each. The remaining dough is used to make the ears. Wrap pork floss with the bread, and assemble the ears onto the bread using some water as "glue". Let proof for another 30-45 minutes till double in size.

 4. Preheat oven to 320F. Bake the end product in the oven for 10 minutes. Then lower the oven temperature to 300F, and bake for another 8-10 minutes. Let it cool completely.
5. Mix water and cocoa powder to draw the face part of the bears. Enjoy!

Simple & Easy Banana Cupcake

Another banana recipe again! I made many banana cake recipes because there are always leftover bananas that are only waiting to be thrown away. Also, banana cake is my boyfriend's favorite among most of my baking. He does not even touch the real banana fruit, but if it is made into cake or any other desserts, he loves them. How weird is he!? So I tend to make healthy banana cake recipe for him, omit most of the oil if possible. But, oil makes banana cake YUMMY!

Ingredients:
1 riped banana, mashed
1 egg, beaten
20g vegetable oil
10g sugar (omit this if your banana is super-duper riped; the banana in this form will be very sweet)
80g cake flour
1/2 tsp baking powder

Steps:
Beat in ingredients in this following order. Egg, sugar, oil, mashed banana, cake flour & baking powder. Put into pre-heated oven at 350 F for  12-15 minutes. Cool on wire rack.

You can eat while it's hot, just be careful not to burn your hands, mouth and tongue. LOL. It has a very nice fragrant smell of the banana. The house seriously smells divine! Love it!

Haha, too boring, so I dusted two of the cupcakes with cocoa powder using my snoopy and bear utensils. Lovely!

The inside of the cupcake is really moist and nice. Not very sweet at all, and not oily. Very nice! haha.. I love the "black thing" inside the cupcake. It proves that it is banana cupcake indeed.

Happy baking =)
