Bread

I had been having craving for Azuki butter toast (in Japan we call it An Butter Toast; “an” means sweet Azuki paste) for a while.

I had just made black sesame sourdough bread, and it was perfect for it.

It’s already good with just Azuki and butter, but this time I thought it would be fun to add this dried yuzu peels.

I also sprinkled some Kinako (roasted soybean powder) and drizzled Matcha syrup.

Luckily, I had some organic fruit delivered in the morning, so they were added to our dining table, too.

Scrumptious!

I really liked the Yuzu peel which brought a bright fresh taste.

It’s always a great day when locally grown organic produce is delivered. 🙂

I like avocado toast, but I love it when it’s dressed up.

So I’m always thinking about ways to make it better.

I recently started getting organic and locally grown vegetables and fruits from fruitfarmerfolks (you can find them and order produce from them on Instagram), and this avocado toast was definitely inspired by what came in the package.

Everything was good, but I particularly liked these green grapes.

They were so delicious!!

(They reminded me of the Japanese green grapes, Muscat.)

I happened to have freshly baked sourdough bread.

Good job, me!

The avocado was from the package too, and it was nice and creamy.

(I toasted the bread first. I like my bread a bit crunchy for my avocado toast.)

A lot is going on here.

But what you’ll find on top of the avocado are sprouts, strawberries, green grapes, red onion, fresh basil leaves, and balsamic glaze.

Absolutely perfect!

I loved how it looked and tasted both.

So fresh, delicious, and undoubtedly good for you, too, with all the vitamins from the fruits.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

It doesn’t happen very often, but sometimes you realize you have all the right ingredients to make something fabulous without going grocery shopping.

I had freshly baked bagels.

Organic fruits/veggies delivery just arrived.

I ordered a box from “farmfruitfolks” on Instagram.

They deliver organic and local produce.

It was the first time I used their service, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quantity, the quality, and the selection.

Everything looked so good but I decided to use the tomatoes for this breakfast dish.

I first toasted a bagel; it got a little darker than I intended, but it was still good.

Toasted bagels, tofu spread, beautiful organic yellow/green tomatoes, basil and parsley from my patio garden, red onion, and balsamic glaze.

Very fresh and satisfying.

Other items from the delivery were also fantastic.

I especially liked the goldenberries.

They were so sweet and delicious!

I will definitely order produce from them again.

You can send a message to “fuitfarmerfolks” on Instagram to order.

I paid 500 baht + 50 baht (delivery to Bangkok) for an S box.

Baking sourdough bread is a part of my routine.

It’s rather irregular, but I do make one every week or every other week.

This one turned out great.

I felt good about the bulk fermentation and second proof both, so I was pretty confident that it would turn out fine, but seeing the result still gave me joy. 🙂

There were some large holes close to the edge, but overall the crumb structure was pretty good too.

For breakfast I toasted a couple of slices.

First, my homemade vegan butter.

I had made passion fruit jam a few days before, and I was determined to enjoy it on my sourdough toast.

Looked already good, but I wanted to add one more thing.

Matcha syrup.

This is one of my recent favorites.

It’s easy to make.

I just mix honey, Matcha powder, hot water, and a little salt.

The passion fruit and Matcha together sounds a bit unusual, but we both really liked it.

It created some sophisticated flavors.
