'Magic Bread' by Alex Goh (modified slightly)

Chanced upon this entry from someone's blog and was really enticed by the looks of the bakes. Somehow it reminded myself that I haven been baking bread lately, not that frequent and always buying those store-bought.. Hubby kinda missed my bread, that was what he said the other day and my gal, always asking to buy the Colourful sprinkles donut after her class every afternoon for snack. Seeing how much she likes it, I decided to take this recipe, modify slightly to make it Wholemeal and also into a few variations. Hotdogs rolls, mini cheese sugar buns, plain loaf, donut-shaped bread with sprinkles.

Only thing I don't like is the preparation of 'Tang Zhong' day before so it means I must bake the nxt day or at least within the next 3 days. But the results of the bakes, it's soft and yummy!! My gal was so happy with her donut-shaped bread! So I am a HAPPY mummy too!! Hubby also feedback that this variation is nicer than the usual direct method of making Wholemeal so that makes me a HAPPY wife too!! (Dun mind the ugly outcome of the bread cos it's my first time using the mini loaf pan and the lid got a bit stuck, think cos of the milk wash, will do better nxt attempt)
