If you’ve been on a low-carb diet or the Keto diet, bread is often one of the hardest things to give up. It’s difficult to find a low-carb bread recipe that tastes close to regular bread – but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! This is a quick and easy recipe for gluten-free Keto bread (no proofing required) that does not taste eggy. This loaf also slices beautifully without being too dense or crumbly. Low-carb bread will never taste exactly like traditional wheat bread, but we’re still certain this healthy alternative will become your staple. A key ingredient here is psyllium husk powder, which is an excellent source of fibre. You’ll find that it helps create the texture of regular bread while making your loaf taste a little like whole wheat. This bread toasts well and can easily be stored in the freezer.
Kuih Tapak Kuda has fast become a favourite Raya staple kuih on dessert tables every festive season. It's easy to make and tastes absolutely delightful. Kuih Tapak Kuda, or translated to as “hoof roll” because of its resemblance to a hoof, is essentially a rich sponge roll cake filled with chocolate ganache or a hazelnut spread (Yes, Nutella!). Think about a soft and decadent swiss roll sponge with a touch of hazelnut praline center. Last year, a home-based baker made waves with her version of the batik swiss rolls that truly harnessed the traditional elements of the Asian-Malay culture — the tapak kuda is the simpler version — but equally sedap. If you're a fan of swiss rolls in general, then Kuih Tapak Kuda will certaily meet your expectations of the perfect dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth. Let's get to it! This recipe uses KENWOOD Titanium Mixer. This delicious treat is part of our homemade series on kuihs where we teach you how to create these traditional mouthwatering desserts: Kuih Bingka Gula Melaka, Kuih Harum Manis, Kuih Permata, and Kuih Nagasari.
