Martabak using sourdough starter

Martabak

Murtabak or martabak is a stuffed pancake or pan-fried bread which is commonly found in Saudi Arabia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Brunei. (resource:wikipedia.com)

The sweet martabak is spread with butter/margarine, sugar, crushed peanuts, chocolate sprinkles, cheese and other toppings. Before serving, the martabak is folded in half, so the toppings get in the middle of martabak.

  2. Indonesian-style thick pancake with natural yeast is one of the most favored of recent trending foods on earth. It’s simple, it is fast, it tastes delicious. There are many recipes to make martabak, from using the soda water and baking soda to the one which use yeast. Mix in the santan and yeast mixture little by. Every Indonesian has a personal favourite martabak or at least know a famous one. The golden brown skin was crisp while the inside was tender, moist and spongy as it was full of air pockets. Our pancake made with fine quality ingredients and toppings.

Story how I start to love baking bread

Hallo, Readers... Here am I, why I choose baking bread. Pretty easy because I love to eat bread... yes, it is... but but... the story behind my passion is my husband loves to eat bread. He is the one introducing me different kind of breads in this world. I am borned in Indonesia, asian root.. What I know about bread.. it is just a simple toast bread and different kind of rolls. As I work in the hotel industry, I see many more types of breads. I start to love eating more breads.. Short stories.. After marriage, I start to learn cooking and baking with my mother in law. I start to love it, it is not easy but I have to learn it. There is no elevator to success. Because of my husband job, on July 2015 we moved to Accra, west Africa. Here it was very difficult to get good crusty bread. Then he came out with ideas why don't you learn to bake bread while I did not work in the mean time. So I grabbed my tabs and started to search and learn how to bake bread from youtube and google....
