Sourdough  version of Hokkaido Milk Bread is incredibly soft and airy bread made with a simple technique involving a roux “starter,” known as tangzhong.

Sourdough Hokkaido Bread

For the Tangzhong Flour-Water Roux

Bread flour

water

milk

Levain

bread flour

whole wheat flour

g Active Sourdough Starter (I used 100% sourdough starter)

For The Dough:

flour bread flour

sugar

salt

powdered milk

57 milk and a little more if needed

heavy whipping cream 25% fat

150 g levain

/32 gramsm unsalted butter

Leavain

Add  both whole wheat flour, bread flour and starter for levain and set aside for 6 hours.

The Tangzhong (Flour-Water Roux):

In a medium saucepan whisk together lightly the flour, water and milk in a saucepan until smooth and there are no lumps. Place the saucepan on the stove, and over medium heat, let the roux cook till it starts thickening. Keep stirring/ whisking constantly so no lumps form and the roux is smooth.

If you have a thermometer, cook the roux/ tangzhong till it reaches 65C (150F) and take it off the heat. If you do not have a thermometer, then watch the roux/ tangzhong until you start seeing “lines” forming in the roux/ tangzhong as you whisk/ stir it. Take the pan off the heat at this point.

Let the roux/ tangzhong cool completely and rest for about 2 to 3 hours at least. If not using immediately, transfer the roux to a bowl and cover using plastic wrap. It can be stored in the refrigerator until the color changes . Discard the tangzhong after that.

Dough:

In a bowl of kitchenaid stand mixer add bread flour, salt, sugar, and milk powder and set aside.

In a microwave safe bowl heat milk, whipping cream and butter for about 30  seconds  and set aside.

Kitchenaid stand mixer fitted with dough attachment mix in, tangzhong mixture, milk-cream-butter and starter into flour mixture and knead until it become soft and sticky for about 15 minutes on medium speed (3-4) . Once the dough starts leaves the side and knead with hand for about 3 more minutes or until when you pull the dough it will spread without tearing, means it passes window pan test.

Remove the dough and place it into well oil pan bowl for doubling. Cover with plastic wrap and a towel, and let the dough rise for about 12 hours or till almost double in volume in room temperature.

Place the dough on your working surface. About 823g dough divide into 4 equal pieces of 206g. You do not need flour to work or shape this dough.

Roll out each portion of the dough with a rolling pin into an oval shape, about 1/8” thick. Take one end of the dough from the shorter side of the oval and fold it to the middle of the oval. Take the other end and fold so it slightly overlaps the other fold.

Roll this folded dough with the rolling pin so the unfolded edges are stretched out to form a rectangle. Roll the rectangle from one short edge to the other, pinching the edges to seal well. Do this with each of the four larger pieces and place them, sealed edges down, in a well-buttered loaf tin. Cover with a towel and leave the dough to rise for about 2-4 hours.

Carefully brush the tops of the dough with egg wash and bake at 350F for about 45 minutes  or it registers an internal temperature of 190-200 F. If the top starts browning earlier, tent the loaf tin with foil to prevent extra burning. Let them cool in the tins for about 5 minutes and then unmold and transfer to a rack till slightly warm or cool.

Early spring garden salad

Parsley, small leaves

Chervil, sprigs

Baby carrots, scrubbed (Main)

Baby

Beetroot, beets scrubbed

Sea salt

Garlic, small, peeled

Tbsp Olive oil

Tbsp Walnut oil

tsp Cider vinegar

Salt

Place chilled leaves in a wide mixing bowl. Scatter herbs on top. Add any baby beetroot leaves too.

Use a mandolin or very sharp knife to thinly slice the carrots lengthwise. Place slices into iced water immediately. Do the same to the baby fennel, then finally slice the beetroot into thin rings, placing them in a separate bowl of iced water.

Make dressing by gently heating garlic cloves in olive oil in a very small pan on medium heat, just until garlic sizzles gently and begins to turn golden. Pour oil and garlic into a small bowl, and use a fork to whisk in the walnut oil, cider vinegar and salt. Set aside for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, drain all sliced vegetables and dry well on kitchen paper. Add the vegetables to the salad bowl. Break sourdough croutons into two or three pieces and add to bowl. Sprinkle sea salt on top. Rewhisk dressing and pour all over salad. Toss gently and serve immediately in shallow bowls.

Then stretch and fold the dough every 1 hour for until 2 hours. This means grabbing the underside of the dough and stretching it up and over the rest of the dough. Perform a few of these turns each time you handle the dough.

Stretch and Fold

One hour after last stretch and fold do a lamination of the dough. Means spread the dough into thin sheet and then sprinkle roasted garlic cloves  and asiago cheese  on the top and fold them into a letter fold.

Laminate the dough

If you are planning for 1 coil fold do that 2 hour of lamination. If you are doing 2 coil folds give 1 hour’s interval.

Then transfer the dough lightly floured workspace and shape them into round Boule. Fold the third of the dough closest to you inward, and then stretch the dough out to the sides. Fold the right, and then left sides in toward the center. Fold the top of the dough inward, and then wrap the bottom part of the dough over it all. If you want, you can make pre-shape and set aside for 15 minutes and then make a final shape.

Work this into a round shape, and place seam side up in a proofing basket lined well with flour.
