A Chocolate Bun, Flour Recommendation, and More


Does Valentine's Day put you in the mood for chocolate? It does me. 🙋🏼‍♀️

Yesterday, I tucked some semi-sweet chocolate into my favorite Tangzhong dinner rolls as I shaped them. Click on the video below to see how the chocolate rolls turned out.

But first, two things in regard to this Japanese Milk Bread Recipe

  1. I have changed the recipe slightly in the last couple of months. If you like to print off my recipes, I recommend taking another look. I decreased the amount of flour in the Tangzhong paste for two reasons. First, less flour makes for a better consistency of the paste. It also results in rolls that are even lighter than before. I didn't think it was possible, but they are.
  2. I'm impressed with Costco's organic, all-purpose, unbleached flour, which comes in a convenient bundle of two 10-lb. bags. At a price of $19 in my area, it is an outstanding value for high-quality, organic flour. I used it in the Chocolate Surprise Rolls, and the results were remarkable. Check out the exceptional layers and texture.

My family and I love this recipe! I’ve made it several times and discovered that adding a little chocolate to the middle makes for a delicious chocolate bun. --LIANI

Thank you Liani, for this idea.

From a chocolate lover,

Hi Friends, The Fourth of July is my favorite holiday and an excuse to share homemade food with others. Even if you aren't celebrating a holiday, you likely find yourself cooking or baking for others, bringing joy and connection through your efforts. Recently, I was inspired by Trevor J.

I love summer and celebrating with family. It's the best time for homemade hamburger buns, ice cream, and watermelon. This week, there is something for everybody--hamburger buns for the bread makers, creme fraiche ice cream for the yogurt makers, and espresso (or coffee) ice cream for coffee lovers. If you like watermelon like I do, check out this post for "How To Pick the Perfect Watermelon" by Rachel Teodoro. Her method works better for me than thumping. Bread Machine Hamburger Buns These...

Hello Friends, I hope your summer (or winter, to my southern hemisphere friends) is off to a good start. After taking a break and a nice vacation, I came home with a rip-roaring case of acute bronchitis. This isn't my first go-around with the stuff, but it's been a while, and I forgot how long it takes to get over the coughing. Thankfully, I'm on the mend. Reader Question: Can I substitute oil for butter in a yeast bread recipe? Substitutions can be challenging. Since I can't test for every...
