My First Bread - Egg & Butter Buns 鸡蛋奶油卷

Of course, the first thing I am going to mix with my KA mixer is bread dough. I don't know why but when I went to the baking supplies shop the other day before I bought the mixer, I grabbed a packet of bread flour, yeast and a loaf pan with over. I also bought Carol's book when I saw it in Kinokuniya 2 weeks ago.

So, with all the necessary ingredients on hand, I watched in awe the way the mixer knead my dough.

Since this is my first time baking bread, I stayed beside the oven for the whole baking process and watch my bread rise, releasing the aroma that I have waited for so long in my kitchen...
