As the sayings goes - "anything that can go..."

Well, I did become more adventurous, and decided to tried out the bread machine (on loan from SisM).
After popping everything necessary (with extreme accuracy as warned by the manual) to make a white loaf (the most basic and simpliest), the bread machine is on it's way to kneal-and-bake land.

Nothing will go wrong, right? Everything steps and required portions are done accordingly to what was stated, bread machine has started to work the mixture and the few peeps I took did not find anything amiss. It's just going to be a 2 hours 45 mins wait to see and touch my LOAF of Bread!

WRONG!! Murphy decided to pay me a visit again...

With about 45 mins to go (that's when the bake cycle is about to begin, I think), my circuit breaker tripped and the bread machine became lifeless. After I reset the tripped circuit breaker, I stared at the bread machine, wondering how do I skip all the knealing, rising, waiting stages and start the baking cycle? No, I found nothing there that indicate I could achieve that.

Errrrrrggghh!! I need to fetch SonS soon, so I have no time to waste. After some quick thinking, I decide to act fast and furious. I lift the dough out of the pan, did a bit of folding and divided it into 7 parts before arranging them into the geased aluminum pizza pan. I covered it with a wet cloth and left to fetch SonS. Upon my returned, they got bigger, I turned on the oven, brushed some beaten egg on top of the dough (should have covered the whole top), sprinkled some herbs and seeds (should have kneal it into the dough as some are burnt) and popped it into the oven (should have use bottom heat instead of top and bottom).

Anyway, here's the end result. I know laughter is good for you, go ahead to work your lungs.... you may start now!!







Ok ok... can stop laughing now!
