Food in Process: Charcoal bread
burned. They do make a good impression
of charred organs, idea for H'ween
perhaps?
No. Lets talk about charcoal instead. My
aunt send me these bamboo charcoal powder for
baking. And I've sprinkled some of these powder
to make bread-dough. The bread turns out
tasty and has nice fluffy texture with on the outside
a soft almost pastel gray color!
I've learned that bamboo charcoal is quite popular
all over Asia because of its believed purification
properties. It helps to absorb moisture and
unwanting oder and it detox your body as well!
How great is that?
EDIT : the bread doesn't taste 'charcoally' at all,
it taste like normal bread! These are special
(bamboo) charcoal powder for cooking so I
don't recommend to use craft charcoal!

Da Recipe: 140gr Bread Flour, 15gr sugar, pinch of salt,
3gr instant yeast, 1 tbsp beaten egg, 70ml lukewarm water, 15g butter,
10gr bamboo charcoal powder
3gr instant yeast, 1 tbsp beaten egg, 70ml lukewarm water, 15g butter,
10gr bamboo charcoal powder
Fresh bread is so good! Only a slight of butter is enough to enjoy!
Da Steps:
- Sieve the dry ingredients in the bowl. Make a hole in the middle.
- Add the 1tbsp egg into the lukewarm water and stir. Pour this in the middle of the flour mixture and mix well.
- Flour a workspace and place the dough on it. Knead well until smooth, elastic and not sticky.
- Add butter to the dough and continue kneading until its glossy.
- Put dough in a greased bowl and cover it with cling wrap/wet towel. Let it rise for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, take the dough out and press the air and let it rest for another 30 minutes.
- Devide the dough in desirable portion and sprinkle some water on top. This will help to create this soft taste.
Bake the first 5 minutes 250C. Then bake for the next 20 minutes 150C.
Good luck!

Sweet black stuff reminds me of black sesame. How does black charcoal taste like?
ReplyDeleteIt seems like it isn't the rage in Singapore now. We only have charcoal stuff for absorbing moisture to put in the wardrobes. Not for sprinkling and eating yet. Or maybe I wasn't sharp enough.
How does the bread taste?
Looks pretty interesting! I've never heard of charcoal bread before, but I didn't think you could use charcoal powder in food.
ReplyDeleteI would eat that! Looks different and yummy :)
ReplyDeleteYou wouldn't not believe how popular charcoal is here, I remember one time someone tried to give me a charcoal nose treatment for blackheads and since this was a while ago I was like "WHAT?! No....."
What does it taste like? It looks really grosh :p

Omg this looks so weird ~!!! Can you make the bread chocolate or vanilla flavored? I think I heard about the asian charcoal thing before but I've never actually seen it used. This would cool if some dimsum restaurants did this to make their bbq pork buns or something hahaha
ReplyDeleteI tried that in TW, didn't really go crazy about it. Liked the yam bread more :)
ReplyDeleteBut where does the charcoal come from? Out of the bamboo?
So lovely post, good weekend! kisses
ReplyDeletehttp://couturetrend.blogspot.it/
That looks so interesting! Does it taste different when you add it to your bread?
ReplyDeleteWoah this is sooo cool! Never ate it nor seen it but now I really want to try it, especially with the butter :3
ReplyDeleteWow!!! This looks incredible Mei!! Never seen nor heard of charcoal bread but now I would love to try it! :) When I was in Japan I learned how to cook rice with charcoaled bamboo… the taste was amazing and I totally believe in the effects you wrote~

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, charcoal powder sounds like such an interesting ingredient! I like the idea of it helping to detox the body too.
ReplyDeleteI'm really surprised by how fluffy the bread looks too :)
That is really interesting! I think I heard of the charcoal being good for something - I've been a lot of other products (like soap, etc.) that include charcoal!
ReplyDeletei love the last picture; close-ups are always so pretty, i love details. so it tastes exactly like white bread? no special flavor? looks really interesting. :)
