Shokupan. Damn, that’s delicious. I sliced and froze the loaf as suggested. Reminds me of the bread in coffee shops in Japan.

Yeah, it’s a carbon steel pan around 8.5x5x4.5 inches.

Damn. That was delicious. It makes better toast even then Something Natural's Portuguese bread that is sold on Nantucket, which is my heretofore favorite bread for toast.

I used her quick version. I might try her original version later. I will definitely be making this again. Thanks for the headsup.

I made it again this past Sunday using the quick method (food processor). Put the lid on to get a square cross-section loaf. Been eating a slice with butter as part of my breakfast each day. So good.

My wife, a friend, and I went to KAF while we were in VT, and we got a ton of shit, including a bunch of flours and misc other stuff. Last night, I made these rye sea salt brownies with their pumpernickel flour. I cut the sugar by 1/3 since many commenters recommended to do that. The result was pretty good; not too sweet, with a hint of rye flavor at the end.

I guess I have never had a good bread knife. The Tojiro bread slicer is amazing. I got it for $23. Holy shit - so much better.

I recently made madeleines for my wife’s birthday using King Arthur gluten free 1 for 1 flour. I used the exact recipe except the gf flour from the Joy if Cooking. Big hit.

The new season of GBBO has got me baking again. I made a loaf of cranberry walnut cinnamon swirl bread, and yesterday I made a bunch of big fluffy rolls for breakfasts. I'm thinking of making a french apple pie for thanksgiving(obviously just the two of us, so I dunno).

Made these last week with rye starter discard I had. Because I had so much I made a triple (!) batch. Good thing they're good and not trash, since I have so many.

that's fantastic. I haven't managed an english muffin the way i want yet. the recipes i've had didn't have the oven step. It's super tricky to get these to cook in a cast iron only all the way through. and you did it with a starter! i have only tried with yeast cause starter is next level. pretzles i did, pancakes, bread and pizza dough with starter though.

Yeah, he said it’s based off Hokkaido milk bread which is sweeter than shokupan. I should try making burger buns.

I’ve been making shokupan every week since I made it the first time.

any tips on shokupan with starter? or does the milk/egg fuck that up?

There's no reason you can't make a bread utilizing milk and egg with a sourdough starter, but with just starter you'd have to be prepared to wait a long time, possibly overnight, for the dough to rise. You could always cheat with a little of yeast, i.e. prep your levain the night before and when it comes time to mix the final dough add a bit of yeast. That way you still get the sourness from the starter + the quicker rise time you get with baker's yeast.

https://breadtopia.com/sourdough-hokkai ... tangzhong/ well that was easy. just need to change the hydration and use different times
6-12 hours? man.. least one site i have has a spreadsheet with times based on amount of starter and temp. Time to get the fermentation station from Brod and Taylor

That shokupan looks good, I will have to try it.

I've been making simple basic bread the last couple weeks - just 1 tbsp each of yeast, sugar, salt, with two cups of water in a stand mixer with a dough hook then add 5 - 6 cups of flour and let the mixer run until it's the right consistency. Let rise, shape, bake. Kids and wife love it and it's only about 10 minutes of hands-on time.

Yeah, I've only ever made english muffins this way, and only because I had a shitload of discard to use to I figured why not; thank God it worked well, otherwise I'd be eating crap muffins forever. I used a cast iron for the first batch and then my wife's electric griddle for the second. They both turned out alright, although I think the cast iron was slightly better because the batches were smaller so there was less variance when I flipped them
