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

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.
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.

How Can I Tell If My Yogurt is Done?

Hello friends, I hope you had a good Easter. Where I live in Texas, we are excited about the eclipse on Monday. Reportedly, my backyard is "in the path." I wish you could join me. I recently received a good question from a reader about how to check yogurt without messing it up. It reminded me that it can be difficult for beginners to figure out when their yogurt is done or set. It's also easy to sabotage the incubation process while checking if it's not done carefully.
