My Homemade Pain de Campagne 自家製鄉村麵包
不經不覺已有數個月沒做過麵包，隨著身體康復得七七八八，決定要練習一下了。
I have not baked any bread for several months since I had my surgery. As my recovery is good and it is time for practising baking now.

Artisan Baker – 火頭工
My friend got me some books and magazine to kill time while I stayed in the hospital. One of those is “Artisan Baker 火頭工 説麵包、做麵包、吃麵包” by Philip Wu 吳家麟.
Short Baguette
Baguette is one of the most difficult breads to make and ongoing practice is a must for beginners like me.

Learn from the Master – Chen Fu Guang 陳撫洸 – Black Tea Bread with Raisins
While writing my last post on Red Wine and Dried-Fruit Bread, I have talked about Wu Pao-Chun and his Fermented Glutinous Rice and Dried Longan Bread.

Dark Brown Sugar Artisan Bread
My little niece returned home for her Easter holiday in early April. During her stay, she talked about the dark brown sugar bread served in Outback Steakhouse and how delicious it is.

Yesterday was my boy’s 10 years old birthday. With only six months of cooking experience, I am still not a good cook. Nevertheless, I should be able to feed my family (No complaint so far). As such, I decided to cook a birthday dinner for him.
