My new toy! DIY Potato Chip Maker





Got my new cooking toy today XD DIY Microwave Potato Chip Maker.

Rush home, wash the whole potato, cut it, arrange it, take picture and put into Microwave it!

I tried 7 mins High first, and the middle part of the chip still not crispy. Then I try with less raw potato chip with more space inside, 7 mins High and all burnt :x I think need to make few more time to get the right timing per amount of chip.

Its taste good for me, I didn’t put any salt tho. (Ate and finish all chip in 3 mins XD) It taste like store bought bake potato chip. I think next time I will grab a paper bag, put all the “ding”ed chip, add salt and mix it well then it will taste 100% like the store bought one XD
The most good thing is, its good healthy snack XD

I am going to buy sweet potato and green apple to try! I guess will taste good too!!!

H-K Style Sausage Bun ! 2nd Try






2nd Attemp with new yeast.
A lot better but still hard on the edge. (those joint area still little bit tough but acceptable this time) I guess i need to try more time to get the trick XD but i will give myself a B- this time!

Here is the recipe

Poolish
50g bread flour
30g water
1g yeast

Mix the poolish and let it ferment on the counter for at least 2 hours.

Main Dough
Bread Flour 250g
Yeast 4g
Water 100g
Milk 60g
Sugar 13g
Salt 5g
Butter 20g
Poolish 50g

1) Mix all the ingredient and add the poolish together. Mix for 2 minute and until everything starts to come together.
2) Hand knead for a about 10mins until the dough become smooth.
3) Let the dough rise for 45-60mins until its 2-3 time the original size
4) After first rise, poke the dough and release the air inside
5) Divide the dough into 60g small dough and roll it into small ball, ( I divide it to 30g small dough to make mini bun), let the dough ball rise for another 10min.
6) Knead the dough to the shape u want. I personally prefer the spiral one better, it is softer then other shape. I think this is because it has more air inside to rise. To roll the spiral shape, follow the Spiral making image below

a. Flatten the dough ball to round sheet

b. Make a oval shape
c. Press the side to the middle like picture C and D
d. Do the same thing on the other side
e. Roll the dough out long so its shaped like a rope

7) Wrap the rolled out dough around the sausage and let it set for final rise (20-25mins)
8) Brush egg yolk to each bun if you want the bun look shinny (optional)
9) Put the bun to a pre-heated 400F oven for 12-15mins




Enjoy!
