These flaky sausage rolls filled with pepper pork and green onions are a twist on the popular Taiwanese street food, pork pepper buns or Hujiao bing (胡椒餅). I wrapped a peppery sausage mix into puff pastry, resulting in a pepper bun and English sausage roll fusion. The inside is juicy and flavorful, and the outside is crispy and flaky. It’s delicious and simple!

These mini Greek yogurt pound cake loaves are tasty and beautiful, with three, naturally colored layers! The pastel colors are fitting for Summertime and the flavor combination is inspired by a strawberry matcha latte. I use @senchanaturals powder for green and @nature.restore strawberry powder for pink. Add more powder for deeper flavors and color!

I made a basic chocolate marbled bread this weekend and used it to make Japanese strawberry sandwiches! These sandwiches are always so cute but the marble pattern on the bread kind of gives it a unique look! The bread was super simple to make and is neutral in flavor. The chocolate flavor is super subtle so the bread can be used for sweet and savory purposes. Overall the bread was fun to make and eat because each slice has a different pattern!

These naturally-colored squid ink bread rolls are stuffed with melty cheese and topped with a crispy garlic topping! I know squid ink sounds odd, but I used it for food coloring only; it doesn’t add flavor so don’t worry about the bread rolls tasting fishy! The rolls taste like a cheesy garlic bread and the garlic butter topping is slightly sweet... it’s so so good!!! Garlic butter is usually just salty, but this one is slightly sweet, similar to how some Asian bakeries make their garlic butter. This recipe is simple and I hope you give it a try!

Happy St. Patrick’s day! 🍀 I felt it was appropriate to make something green so of course matcha was my go to food coloring. This is a white chocolate matcha cake that has pound cake- like texture and tastes like a green tea Kit Kat. I found a doily template online and cut out the pattern using an exacto knife and created the pattern on top with the stencil and matcha. It looks quite elegant and complicated but is extremely simple to do. The cake is slightly sweet and tastes so so good with coffee. I use @senchanaturals matcha which I found at Costco!

Last week was incredibly hectic, so I coped with the stress by kneading dough and shaping these purple sweet potato steamed buns (also called mantou)! Working with dough is just so therapeutic😌. These steamed buns are SO simple to make and they require only 5 ingredients: all-purpose flour, milk, yeast, sugar, and purple sweet potatoes. There are 3 common types of purple sweet potatoes: Okinawa, stokes, and Charleston, and all 3 types work for this recipe. I used Charleston potatoes this time to yield a richer purple color.
