I had never heard of Tangzhong Bread before I read about it on Tiffany's blog Bread without Butter...
...but I love a nice soft bread - so I knew I had to try it...
...I started by mixing up the tangzhong - which is just a paste of flour and water...I used the recipe here - just using vegan ingredients and flax seed goo for the egg...
...the tangzhong just makes a nice pudding...you refrigerate it overnight...
...then you use about half of it for one loaf...
...I put that into the bread machine first...
...then added the liquid ingredients - I used almond milk...
...and flax seed goo for the egg...
...the dry ingredients...and Earth Balance for the butter...
...turned on the machine...and let it do it's thing...
...the dough seemed a little bit wet to me - and next time I may add a little bit more flour...I still have half the tangzhong to experiment with...
...the crust was so perfect - flakey and soft...
...a closeup...
...the bread was very soft - but a little bit too 'airy' - which didn't affect the taste at all - it was delicious...
...you should try it...
