Super Easy Martabak/Indonesian Pancake Recipe

A
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon instant yeast
3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 egg

B
5 tablespoon bread flour or all purpose flour
1 tablespoon corn flour

180 ml Water

1. Add enough water to dissolve ingredients A (about 3-5 tablespoon)
2. Add one egg, and mix well (just use hand mixer)
3. Add B in to previous mixture
4. Add enough water (about 180 ml), can add more if the mixture is too thick
5. Mix well, until no more lump of flour.
6. Place it in refrigerator for use the next day.

Fillings:
1. 1-2 Tablespoon Butter
2. Chocolate Sprinkles (Ceres)
3. Cheese (Optional)
4. Coarse Ground Peanuts
5. Sesame seed (optional)
6. 1 tablespoon condensed milk

Next Day,
1. Preheat pan. I used a nonstick korean brand pan. This pan is made from Marble. I found this type of pan is the best type that I can use in Singapore. Since it's made from Marble, the bottom of the pan is evenly heated (which is a key to get a good Martabak). When you start to see holes, put in some sugar on top, and close the pan with lid. Let it cook for a few minutes.

(When you see something like this, add sugar and close with lid)

2. When the surface is almost dried, off the heat, you can spread with 1-2 tablespoon of butter. Add chocolate sprinkles, coarse ground peanuts, sesame seed, and 1 tablespoon of condensed milk. Fold and cut into pieces. You may spread some butter on the skin as well.

Charcoal Bread (one loaf)






Ingredients:
220 g bread flour
58 g cake flour
2g charcoal powder
20 g sugar
3 g yeast
3 g salt
180 g cold milk
25 g unsalted butter

Procedures:
1. Mix flour, yeast, salt, sugar, and milk using chopstick
2. Add in butter. Knead the dough until the dough is elastic and smooth. You can do it by hand or electric mixer. I usually do it by hand, and it takes me about 20 mins to get an elastic dough. To check whether you dough is ready, you can pinch off a small piece of dough, then stretch the dough by approx. 3-5 cm, if the dough forms a thin membrane and stretches without breaking, then your dough is ready.

3. Leave the dough in a container and cover with cling wrap, let it rise up to double size. This depends on the temperature of your kitchen. If it's warm enough, then it will take short time (45-60 mins). It may go up to 2 hours. I learnt from a friend --> usually I put the dough inside microwave with a cup of hot water.
Since I don't have a microwave anymore, i usually pregeat my oven at 150 degree for 1 mins, then open the oven door and let it cold down for a bit. Then place the dough inside the oven, if the oven is still too warm, slightly open the oven door. 
4. Punch the dough with your fist to get rid of the air. Shape the dough like a big oval and place it in the bread loaf pan. Let it rise for another an hour.
5. Preheat oven 200 celc. Bake it for 20 mins.
