CINNAMON RAISIN BREAD


Cinnamon Raisin Bread Recipe @ treatntrick.blogspot.com

Ventured into making my own bread by hand  and tried this recipe by Southern Food with slight adjustment by me. Although I'm not the pro the result is not disappointing at all. The main ingredient for baking bread is the yeast, use either instant or active dry yeast and make sure the yeast is still active if not throw it away. To check whether it is active or not simply pour warm water ( not hot)  into a bowl and sprinkle the required yeast and sugar, wait for 10 minutes if the mixture resembles creamy foam then you can go ahead baking your bread.  Cinnamon Raisin Bread produces nice aroma due to the cinnamon used.

CAPPUCCINO MUFFIN

Cappucino Muffin Recipe @ treatntrivk.blogspot.com

This easy cappuccino muffin is a great as your breakfast or afternoon snack. These are also handy for kids since it is smaller or even you could bake the mini one for their lunch box. Now you could easily purchase this muffin from nearby bakery with multiple flavors and gorgeous decor but bake you own is much healthier and better choice. You decide what you need to use or add for the batter.

If you're running short of time, just mix all the dry ingredients at night, the next day just add the liquid and stir until well mixed and now it's ready to be baked in the oven. This way you could enjoy your freshly baked muffin on your breakfast table.

Since the chocolate chip was not in hand, I omitted them but surprisingly it still  tastes great.
