Convert your recipes to use the Yudane technique. It will give you wonderful results that you can do with any breads. An added benefit is it will stay fresh much longer. Yudane is a technique where you pour boiling water over some of the flour and let it sit 8 hours to overnight. This method is great for doughs that you are going to let sit overnight in the fridge.
The heated starch granules, attract water molecules. This causes the granules to swell and soften, absorbing and trapping water. The flour absorbs twice as much hot liquid as cold liquid, which is why the heating process is essential.
Yudane: Ratio is 1:1 (1 part water to 1 part flour -20% of the flour in recipe)
Yields: 24 Buns - 47g ea.
Bake: 350
Recipe Adjusted to 75% Hydration & Tangzhong
