MAKING HER BEAUTIFUL: 

INTO THE BREAD MAKER:

For this recipe, I used the Sweet Bread setting, 1.5 lb loaf size, and light crust.

I honestly love how this machine does almost everything for me. I just dump in the right order, press some buttons, and hover over it like a concerned parent.

Here is our little dough baby about 10 minutes into mixing!

She looks pretty good, right?!

This is the part where I question everything.

Is she too wet? Too dry? Should I add flour? Should I mind my own business?

Thankfully, the answer this time was to mind my own business.

And since we had a couple hours of waiting in front of us...

INTERMISSION:

~Please enjoy this regularly scheduled tea break~

Because apparently making one green thing in the kitchen wasn't enough for me in one day.

While our little matcha loaf was doing her thing, I decided to make Honey Milk Hojichas!

If you've never had hojicha before, it's a roasted Japanese green tea with this heavenly toasty, nutty flavour. It's a little different from regular matcha, but OH MAH GAWD, is it ever good!

And with some honey and milk?!

HEAVEN.

(is that you god? It's me Kaylvang)

I feel like I am running my own cafe.

Except the cafe is my kitchen, I'm wearing questionable outfits, and the only customers are myself and my husband.

Five stars. Excellent establishment.

Anyways. Back to our regular scheduled program.

THE MATCHA CLOUD RECIPE:

For anyone who wants to try making their own little matcha loaf, here's the recipe I used!

Ingredients:

230 mL milk

350 g bread flour

75 g sugar

7 g matcha powder (approximately 3½ tsp)

2 tbsp milk powder

2 tbsp softened butter

¾ tsp salt

1½ tsp Fleischmann's Quick Rise yeast

2 tsp Fleischmann's Bread Booster

Bread maker settings:

Sweet Bread

1.5 lb loaf

Light crust

Instructions:

Measure out your ingredients. I like weighing my flour because apparently I am a professional baker now.

Mix the matcha powder into your bread flour until everything is evenly green.

Add your ingredients to the bread maker according to your machine's recommended order, keeping the yeast separate from the liquid until mixing begins.

Select the Sweet Bread setting, 1.5 lb loaf size, and Light crust.

Check your dough about 10–15 minutes into mixing. You're looking for a soft dough that's coming together nicely.

Let your bread maker work its magic!

Once finished, remove your loaf and let it cool on a rack before slicing.

A little note for next time: I'm planning to increase the yeast to 2 teaspoons to see if we can get a little more height. Everything else is staying the same because the flavour and texture were exactly what I wanted!

UNTIL OUR NEXT LIL KITCHEN ADVENTURE:

And there we have it!

Another wonderful afternoon spent making bread, drinking tea, and becoming a little too emotionally invested in another fluffy loaf of carbohydrates.

I just love these baking days.

It's just so nice making something yummy, having a lil drink and just enjoy being home.

Plus, now I have homemade matcha bread to snack on.

AND THAT IS A WIN IN MY BOOK!!

Thank you for joining me on another episode of whatever the heck I am trying to do in my kitchen.

Until next time, my little bread friend!
