Sweet Bun

Last weekend I had a request from my sister to bake bread. Those days our mom used to make her very own style of sweet buns. But now ever since I bought a recipe book by Chef Alex Goh on The World of Bread it has been my style of sweet buns been requested. However I am still adapting my mom style for the finishing part that is to brush the bread with butter and sprinkle sugar on top of it.

I love baking bread cos I just love the smell of freshly baked bread…. Well again nothing beats a homemade bread.

Ini la dia my version of Sweet Bun..... sedap di makan panas-panas.
