Mommy: Keita, what are we making today?
Keita: Butter Bun and Nuts Bun!
*WRONG!*
We're making Butter Sugar Bun, Ham and Corn Bun, and white bread loaf!
Let's START! (lol)
And so, we'll be baking some breakfast bread
Today, we'll make 3 types of bread: Ham and Corn Bun, Butter Sugar Bun, and a mini bread loaf
First, we'll measure our ingredients
Due to COVID, I got into baking bread
Exact measurements are very important in baking!
Too much milk - got some help to get to the exact amount
*YUMMY*
To keep him interested, I always give him some tasks to do ...
... even though it's much quicker if I did it myself
When I have time I always encourage him to try different activities and experiences
Mixing and kneading
Within 10 minutes, he's already lost interest 😅
In the beginning, the dough gets sticky like this
After adding some butter, it becomes even MORE sticky
From here, I will finish the kneading
Since he can't do this task, he's just playing with the camera
*TOO CLOSE!*
Suddenly, Keita confessed his love to me (lol)
Keita: I love Mommy so much ❤️
I wonder when he'll say these things until?
A bit sad when I think about it ... 🥲
Resting the dough - primary fermentation (around 1 hour)
Keita always has the responsibility of chanting the magic phrase
*BECOME DELICIOUS, BECOME DELICIOUS!*
The dough for the mini bread loaf is ready for resting now, too
Portioning the dough
This is when the incident happened ...
*SUSPICIOUS PERSON*
KEITA!!!!
He pushed the chair into my ankle...
It was a small thing but it hurt so much
*REFLECTING ON HIS ACTIONS*
Keita: Mommy, I'm sorry ...
Recovering from the incident, we start shaping the dough into balls
We always make sure Keita has a mini one
He always wants to copy everything ...
The finishing touches are Mommy's responsibility
Of course, we have to complete Keita's mini butter sugar bun, too.
*GETTING MORE EXCITED*
Letting the dough rest for 10 more minutes, almost ready!
But before that, looks like someone is hungry!
These days he really likes eating grapes from this container
He likes washing, drying, and putting the grapes into the container by himself
He likes the largest ones ...
He's even preparing some for Daddy
Keita: Where's the "close"?
Mommy: What's a "close"?
*LOOKS LIKE HE'S LOOKING FOR THE LID*
"Close" = lid 😂
Mommy: We don't need the lid!
Keita: We need it!
Time to shape the dough
First, we make the ham rolls
*THE HELPER IS TAKING A GRAPE BREAK*
Mommy: Alexa, stop!
Alexa, stop! (louder)
*ALEXA IS NOT STOPPING 😞*
Keita: ALEXA, STOP!
*ALEXA STOPPED!*
Don't look at me with that smug face!
Next, we move on to the Butter Sugar Buns
Shaping this bun is very interesting
For the mini bread loaf, we form 3 little mountains
Resting the dough - primary fermentation (around 45 minutes)
Finishing touches and baking
Keita is taking care of the corn
*AHHHH!!!! So cold*
Who would've thought, the frozen corn is cold 😅
Finally, it's Keita's turn!
No finesse at all ...
This is the second time he needs to chant *BECOME DELICIOUS!*
Baking complete!
Final finishing touches with some parsley!
Keita's mini Butter Sugar Bun!
They were hot so he started blowing on it... 🤢
I'll forgive you this time because these are only for us (lol)
We kept what we're having the next morning, and put the rest in the freezer
The baking was slightly uneven, but they were really delicious
It took almost 3 hours in total...
During which quite a few incidents happened ...
But when I see his smile, I forget all of that
I'll be continuing to bake more for my bread-loving Keita!
