I have been longing a bread that taste just like what we have back home. Since starbread is one of my favorite bread - - I never stopped searching recipe that resembles its taste. It was two weeks ago when I got bored and thought maybe its time to try making the bread.
I was thrilled and happy that I finally got the taste of the bread that I remembered back home. I could say, I nailed it! hahahaha!

2 cups all purpose flour plus 1/2 for dusting.
