Tangzhong - Untested


Try making this to add to the Commons Bread. Interested in experimenting with it because it claims to make bread softer and increases its shelf life.

1/4 cup flour (30 g)
3/4 cup water (150 g)
  1. From the bread recipe, remove the above ingredients to return, later.
  2. Whisk the flour and water together in a cold saucepan. Make sure that there are no lumps. 
  3. Heat at medium heat, stirring continuously.
  4. Once the mixture is heated to 149°F or 65°C (ie. the spoon starts leaving trails along the bottom of  the pan as you stir) turn the heat off.
  5. Transfer to a dry bowl and cover tightly. Cool to room temperature before adding it to the bread dough to avoid killing the yeast.
