ensaymada

Aside from browsing, job searching, and downloading movie torrents. I was fascinated with "Baking" and this is my "Try something New" per se for 2018. The baking tools in the house is sufficient enough for me to start. 

My second project is Ensaymada. its a classic butter and sugar bread all the way through. Not much of a success here, I think I am still learning how my oven works. The Heating element control is somewhat independent. UP and DOWN. There is no way to use both.
