Raisin Buns

I have not baked bread for a long time ever since my breadmaker decided to go away for good! I've had two breadmakers and both had enough of me working on them like a slave. So they ran away to some dump!

After reading so many posts on bread and buns, my fingers began to itch.
How could I possibly not bake bread for my food blog!

Today, I depended on my trusted major, Kenwood to do the job. He whined and groaned throughout the process. Oh dear! Am I such a mean taskmaster...errr..... mistress?
Thankfully all was well and I know that there will be breakfast tomorrow!


12 minutes and they were done!


I was seduced by the aroma of the bread baking in the oven. I just couldn't wait to pounce on one when they were done!

  3. I've never made buns for a long long time. Must take out my bread maker from the store room and check whether it is still working.

  10. Hi Kimberly,
    The smell of bread baking is alway amazing!


    Hi DG,
    The buns remained soft for two days.


    Hi Ann,
    Keep fingers crossed that your breadmaker still works. That's the problem with electrical appliances when they are not used.


    Hi Angie,
    I couldn't wait for breakfast. I had one immediately when it came out of the oven.


    Hi Cheah,
    Agreed about the aroma!


    Hi Pris,
    I used a 25-cm square tin. See you on facebook regarding recipe.


    Hi Zurin,
    Thanks. Kenwood is my favourite brand for cake mixer.


    Hi Mr Pineapple Man,
    Would love to send one if possible! :)


    Hi Tigerfish,
    I love freshly baked buns with some butter.


    Hi Edith,
    Raisin bread is my hub's fave. You should try the tang zhong method. It does wonders to the texture.
