Souffle au Fromage - Cheesecake Souffle type

I could ask this question to you,  What kind of cheesecake do you like?
There are lots lots of variety of cheesecakes in the world. banana cheesecake, caramel cheesecake, chocolate, lemon, orange.....endless!!

Today, I made Souffle type cheesecake. It is typical type in Japan.
It melts in your mouth!!!!! Fluffy and moist.
It is made with meringue to make fluffy. But it has moisture from cream cheese.
It doesn't have cookie crust on the bottom of cake. This cake is just soft!!
It tastes rich creamy cheese.

I made with 20cm square tin and cut in to one bite size.  I recommend cool it well in the fridge before serve. Or freeze it and enjoy icy cheesecake.

Linseed and Wheat Loaf

It is getting summer in New Zealand. It becomes 20 - 25 degrees in summer. I like NZ summer better than Japanese summer.
It it extrem hot!! It becomes 30 - 33 degrees in Augst, and it is so muggy. But it is good for bread proofing though. I could just let rise in room temperature in summer. It takes 4 hours with sour dough.
Anyway, I like baking bread in summer. Proofing fast.

Today I made Linseed and wheat loaf with sour dough.
Linseed is known as Flax seed. It contain an essential fatty aid for human body.
I set the dough over night, it proofed well with room temperature. I think Yeast is enjoying summer.

I show how to shape oval loaf.After first proofing and before fanal shaping, the dough need rest 10 - 15 minutes. It helps to ensure the final shape is symmetrical.

WASABI Loaf

WASABI loaf !!

Do you know "wasabi"?

It is a kind of horseradish, it is extremely strong flavor, spicy and might be hot.
Its taste is peculiar, I wonder how I can explain. When I have it, I sore my nose!
Wasabi paste is grated roots of wasabi. We, Japanese have one with sashimi(raw fish) and sushi.
And also we make sauce with wasabi and mayonnaise. I recommend this sauce, if you don't like wasabi. It is mild spicy.

When you think about Wasabi loaf, what do you image its taste like?
Spicy and hot??
If you have a keen tough, you might be able to taste slightly.
Actually, my friends couldn't taste wasabi before I told that is wasabi loaf.
Because wasabi ingredients is sensitive to heat. It will go off when it baked with the hot oven.

The chemical in Wasabi effect preserving food against spoilage and suppressing bacterial growth.
So this loaf could keep well.

I made it a slice of toast sweed spread and cheese on top!!
