Japan#2: Rice Cooker Bread

From Yakitate Japan episode 27. I did violate a sacred baking rule, proper measurement!!!. I  did not have enough flour at hand and I forgot to adjust the other ingredients. The result …

I could not knead it properly because it lack 50g of flour but it still taste good though :D

Here are the ingredients and procedure:

  • flour - 350 grams
  • butter - 21 grams
  • sugar - 21 grams
  • milk - 35 cc
  • water - 180 cc
  • dry yeast - 5g
  • salt - 6.5 grams
    • mix flour, sugar, salt, dry yeast dissolved in water, water, milk together
    • knead all the ingredients together
    • when mix thoroughly, add butter
    • when its no longer sticky , shape it so that its round
    • leave it in a warm place for 60 minutes - primary fermentation
    • next get rid of the excess gas, but using your fist and punching the dough softly reducing the size to 50 cm
    • next leave it in a warm place for 60 minutes - secondary fermentation
    • put it in the rice cooker and start cooking/baking
    • set the rice cooker to 60 minutes, do this 3 times while turning the dough every 60 minutes

It takes a little while though but its really tasty.
