Foodnote: Saw this recipe and it looks so easy so I have to try it. The bread is heavy unlike The Killer Toast and it is more dense although it is still soft. It actually reminds me of... steamed cake. Since I am trying this recipe, I only make half of the portion. Ok lah... at least I have bread to eat for tomorrow hehe.
