Asian-style Bread Recipe Using Tangzhong

Asian-style bread has clear differences from other kinds of bread, in general. It's generally soft, fluffy and flavorful in a rich way. In this video, we wanted to delve into making a soft and fluffy Asian-style bread with tangzhong. We're going to be looking at the ways the ingredients affect the bread, as well as the techniques. All to get that perfect soft loaf. Enjoy!

Hi, this is an old video, in this video we're still using tangzhong 1:5, our latest videos do not use tangzhong 1:5 anymore, we recommend 1:2 or less.
Also, there's typo at around 00:10:00 the glass pan size should be 28 x 12 x 8 cm. Thanks!

You’re pretty amazing, Novita! Loveee love love your content! I’m a self-taught baker and I opened my bakery a couple of months back and I’m so glad I found your channel! I’ve been obsessed with Bakerpedia and listen to their podcast, Baked in Science, and how you explain and teach is so good, it makes anyone want to listen more! You should think about starting a baking podcast, omg it would be the best!! Thanks for amazing content and keep giving us more! You’re helping so many of us bakers out here❤️❤️

I did you recipe and the bread came exactly as yours. I used half of the sugar and cooked in my bread machine. The bread almost touched the lid 😄
Excellent, honest, and the real recipe, you have a new subscriber 👍🏻

Loving the way everything in your videos is explained clearly and in detail. You always make the effort to explain why something is added or done a particular way, which is great for viewers to really understand the recipes not just blindly repeat them.

great work, thank you. I love how you explained the chemistry aspect of each ingredient.

beautiful video and beautiful presenter.

[petesanders-nesbitt]

You gave the best instructions ever for baking ANY bread. Thank you🎉

[KakusaCooking]

Awesome video! Really good explanation (compared to the super fast paced other YouTubers)

Excellent job with the video and presentation. Thank you.

Was always thinking how to measure "double in size" in a bowl. Ingenious Idea shifting it on half the side to see the height in the bowl when it should have doubled! 👏✌👍💕🧐

You are super cute😅. Super informative

Great video Novita. Thanks for the comprehensive explanation. One thing I’m wondering: since tangzhong is water and flour, no matter the portion, doesn’t it Interfere with the hydration of the main dough? Thanks

Can you please provide conversions into cups and spoons?

Thank you for your tangzhong bread recipe. I notice that for the pullman pan, you used 600g of dough. Your pullman loaf pan looks and measures very close to the Chefmade pullman loaf pan. In the Chefmade pullman loaf pan webpage, it says that it's intended for 450g of dough. I have seen in other shokupan recipes that the resulting bread dough for the said loaf pan is close to 450g. I have followed those recipes but my baked bread could never fill up the whole loaf pan. May I know how you decided that 600g of dough should be used for the pullman loaf pan?

Hi Novita. Your videos are sooo amazing!! I have three questions: This bread is sweet? Do you have any brioche with poolish and tangzhong? Which one is best brioche or this ultimate asian?

[JC-pxwe]

This looks amazing. What temperature would be best for a fan oven? ❤

[carmeroz]

If I double the recipe, will I also double the tahnzong and yeast

[glogee]

Why do you wait until the end to let the dough stay in the bowl for 15 minutes instead of earlier before you add the sugar and butter to the mixture. Does it make a difference in the bread when one does the 15 minutes rest?

Hi. Can I use tang zhong in steam bread? What measure have do it

[susanhighland]

Can I make this without sugar? Not a fan of sweet sandwich bread. Into savory.
