Breakfast Bread

This morning I wanted to make bread for breakfast, bread should be fresh without preservatives, no softener. Because I have too prepared this bread in a rush hour this morning since my husband must go to office before 6 am, so I do not have time to write down the recipe aka just use my feeling, later I will write this bread recipe with details ingredients. Basic bread dough consists of high protein flour, milk powder, egg, olive oil, yeast, and sugar but I made ​​it without sugar because yesterday I bought an apricot jam (actually I was going to buy pinaple one but I misstook because the color is same :P). Then I baked the dough in 200 deg C temp within 15 minutes, preheat the oven 5 minutes before.  I love the colour of that bread and I love this pictures too, last month I found a miniature of Sanji and his father "the old chef" (character in a series of one piece). I ever seen this miniatures in cooking show on Urban cook @kompasTV.

I think the expression on my face this morning when removing the bread from the oven and prepared it to my husband ^ ^ just like Sanji’s smile while he said in france “Hm .. This bread is delicious!”

Lumpia Semarang ala KuroHouseofCraft

Liburan akhir tahun 2012 kemaren saya sempat mengunjungi kota Semarang,  cerita lengkapnya nanti ya di blog berikutnya :) Ngomongin Semarang.. selalu teringat akan lumpianya, tapi waktu di Semarang malah nggak ketemu lumpia yang enak karena waktu di sana cari lumpia udah kemalaman (mungkin juga sugesti karena lihat minyaknya yang berwarna sudah pekat dan digunakan untuk menggoreng). Nah kemaren saya ketemu rebung alias bambu muda di pasar dan langsung deh dapat ide bikin lumpia semarang versi homemade tanpa digoreng (bagi yang mau ngegoreng ya boleh)

Tips memilih dan mengolah rebung: 
Waktu beli di pasar dilihat dulu ya, biasanya rebung dengan warna kemerahan dan agak berserat itu rasanya akan pahit dan keras, kalau menemui rebung ini mending jangan dibeli karena ribet tapi kalau sudah terlanjur beli (misalnya si penjual bilang: "bagus nih, masih muda) nah terus sampe rumah diiris tipis-tipis dan dicicipi rasanya pahit "O..o!" yang perlu dilakukan adalah cuci bersih rebung itu, rendam dengan air beras/kelapa selama 30 menit, lalu rebus dan tambahkan  1 sdm garam & 1 sdm gula lalu buang airnya, ulangi 3 kali lalu bilas (ribet kan..)

tapi kali ini saya dapet rebung yang bagus, teksturnya tidak keras, warnanya cerah, dan tidak pahit, berikut ini fotonya:

Iris tipis-tipis, rebus satu kali, buang airnya, tiriskan

Resepnya terdiri dari Isi lumpia, Kulit lumpia dan Saus kental:

Bahan Isi:
1 Ons Rebung 
1 bagian dada ayam (kampung)
200 ml Kaldu ayam kampung (kalau ngga ada no problemo)
4 siung bawang putih, haluskan
4 siung bawang merah, iris tipis
1 sdt garam (sesuai selera)
2 sdt gula
1/2 sdt merica
1 sdm minyak wijen atau 2 sdm olive oil

Cara membuat isi:

Tumis bumbu yang dihaluskan bawang putih, bawang merah, garam, merica, gula, garam dan potongan daging ayam, beri kaldu ayam, masukan rebung yang sudah direbus, tumis, aduk-aduk hingga airnya habis tapi tidak usah terlalu kering.

Bahan Kulit Lumpia

6 sdm Tepung terigu
3 sdm Tepung Beras
2 sdm Tepung Sagu
1 sdm onion powder (kalau tidak ada 2 siung bawang putih haluskan)
1 sdt garam
1/2 sdt gula
1/2 sdt merica
air secukupnya (kira-kira 2 gelas)
Olive oil (atau minyak sayur)

cara membuat:
1. Aduk semua tepung dan bumbu hingga rata, tambahkan air sedikit demi sedikit sambil diaduk hingga merata tidak ada gumpalan tepung dan encer.
2. Siapkan teflon anti lengket (saya pakai teflon yang bentuknya persegi), panaskan, tambahkan setengah sdt minyak, ratakan adonan seperti membuat telur dadar tapi lebih tipis.
3. Biarkan kulit lumpia matang baru dibalik, biarkan  2 -3 menit angkat. (jangan dibolak balik sebelum seluruh adonan matang, nanti kulitnya rusak)
ulangi

Cara mengisi lumpia:

Letakkan kulitnya pada piring datar, isi dengan 1 sendok isi lumpia, lalu gulung biasa seperti foto berikut 
(ps: saya membuat lumpia yang tidak perlu digoreng, jadi menggulungnya mudah tidak perlu dilipat)

untuk yang mau digoreng, lebih baik kulit lumpianya berbentuk bundar supaya bagian atas dan bawah bisa ditutup, untuk melengketkan gulungan gunakan putih telur sebagai lem.

Saus Lumpia - kental:
1 sdm Tepung Sagu
200-300 ml air
2 siung bawang putih haluskan
3 sdm kecap asin
1 sdm kecap manis
1/2 sdt garam
4 tetes cuka masak
(yang mau tauco, tambahkan 1-2 sdt tauco halus)

cara membuat:
aduk dulu semua bahan hingga tercampur rata, lalu panaskan dalam wajan anti lengket kira-kira 1-2 menit sambil diaduk dengan cepat (karena sagu cepat mengental), jika terlalu kental tambahkan sedikit air sambil diaduk (matikan kompor)

Nah, lumpia gak lengkap tanpa acar mentimun, daun bawang kecil dan cabe rawit hijau.. hm..ini baru maknyus :) resep ini bisa jadi lebih dari 15 pcs

Simple Glue Gun Holder (recycle: cardboard)

I have use glue gun many times but It really messed up my craft table when I put that hot glue gun and the glue will melt at my table and sticky everywhere. I used a cardboard to protect my table from melting glue and still it looks messy either the cardboard, the glue gun and also my craft table. Anyway, I have an idea yesterday how if I made glue gun holder that I ever seen at some online store but that one made from wood. So I decided to make it from cardboard of my husband's new PC and I will cover it with cute paper wrap. I add two small holder for two-five glue stick stocks. I love it!

What you need are only cardboard, paper wrap, a small glass jar, glue gun and glue stick. Please follow the tutorials bellow.
