Diary ღ 18 October 2014 ღ

It's the first day of holiday! Felt so bored at home so I started to bake croissant which was in my list few weeks ago. It was quite challenging for me because I never bake bun before. I don't know how to knead it well. I just knead the dough until all the ingredient mix well for this time. How about the result? "Ok ok nia lo" However, its colour is so nice! So attractive... And the odour of the milk is strong, love it!

I got the recipe from 周老师 but I reduced all the ingredients to 1/2 of the original amount. I will provide step-by-step pictures here.
