Hi Sophie - This looks like a marvelous recipe. I like the yudane also. Your photos are great and your instructions are easy to follow. I'll be trying it later as we are in the 100's now and I lack the will to make bread.

Thank you! It’s definitely not the right weather to be making dough (as I learnt last week 😅)

You did good Sophie. I had a wholesale bakery and we baked in every kind of weather. So happy to be a home baker now.

Same! I’ve worked in some truly hellish kitchens. My kitchen is naturally freezing which is perfect at this time of year but in a few months I’ll be cursing it.

Thank you for sharing your experiments and recipes! I was just wondering, if the dough proofs overnight, does it need that first proof at room temperature until doubled? Or could it go straight to the fridge after kneading?

I always proof it at room temperature first as I find that it won’t prove enough in the fridge, it will rise a little bit but not enough, if you have a really active dough you might get away with it though

This is so interesting. It’s both so close to the bun dough I make and yet so different. The egg! The olive oil! The strong bread flour! I’m so intrigued.

Also the iced buns look gorgeous I need to try

Thank u SO much for taking the time to experiment and see if all the extra tedious steps of tangzhong, autolyse etc. were actually necessary for a good outcome !!! I always wonder if all the extra stuff is REALLY worth all the fuss in recipes (and I’m sure for some recipes it is probably v important!) but I’m always stressing myself out choosing the hardest recipes possible cause I’m scared stuff won’t be good enough otherwise 😭 but this dough looks so pillowy I wanna sleep on it wowowow✨

I think real bread nerds might feel differently but I’m not a bread nerd, just a lazy girl that wants to eat buns 😂
