Hello C W 👀 yes. and everyone beyond reading this. I am sorry for the stories that people might have told you about God that were not true. I am here because I want to tell you my story. God wasn't for me God, he was boring and stupid. I was in a chatolic school, since fifth grade until high school graduation day (or well, the second one, I had to rehabilitate math) in my last two years there was a father or priest however you want to call it wich really got me thinking about christianity? that maybe it wasn't so stupid, he talked with conviction and honesty, he came from the capital of my country a city man that was a lawyer. Once when we were on a roadtrip to a retreat one classmate said to him that he didn't understand, that he had always been the way he is and he responded with "I was very different" refering to the time before he was a priest. I was enamored with him as I really liked boys and mans and everything, just looking for attention and maybe in a deeper sense, love, but really didn't know or wanted to accept how it looked like (love). When I talked to him in private, he gave me advice and walk away. He really cared for us, he took us home when it was late and we were doing stuff for youth group and got a hawks eye so we wouldn't sneek alcohol in out practices for a final act in our senior year. I graduated and wasn't so repulsed by Jesus as I was before, I could sense the logic behind it and even start elucubrating ideas of what some people say about their relationship with God. That maybe they were not so wrong. I met my boyfriend while I was with friends wich I mess up with and he looked at me straight in the eye, I didn't know who he was or if was going to see him again, he contact me, and we went out again. It got to the point were he gave me a heart necklace he wore. I wore it and went back to a small party and talked with some friends and how I couldn't believe he gave to me and that I didn't wanted it (I still messed around with some people and didn't want to quit) time pass by and I wanted to quit so I make a last round with the nearest guys at the time to say goodbye, I really wanted to be honest with him, so I said to him what I did, he got really upset. When I saw him again to apologize and try for us to be together again, I saw how hurt he was, I broke his heart and couldn't fix it... he forgave me, but what we had was damaged, we continue to see each other and smile, he checked the messages on my phone and saw my sexual chats with other guy, we were separate again, I plead for forgivness and he forgave me. The story of God is the same, Isarel cheats, pleads and he forgives (but only when it is with a pure heart). I was the one that was stupid, and finally I realized it, step 1 complete. He told me to get closer to God, I did it in the most confortable way for me, by reading, I was now reading the bible, with my whole messed up view of new age, psychology, mithology, weir stuff that got in my mind, all of it, but reading it nonetheless. I started watching the bible project and the I listen to the sermons of one of the creators. He talked about how to read the bible not demanding (especifically genesis) but reading what the author wants to tell you, I reameber my literature professor, she said, an author dosn't write what word more or less than it's necessary to transmit what he wants to say, in sinthesis every word is important and wants to transmit a message. I stopped talking and started learning (at least a little bit more). One night when I was looking to anothe sermon of Tim Mackey, I just talked to myself... in that moment I started to believe and in that moment I started talking to God, I got on my knees, like I knew the nuns did in some convents trough online searching and I felt the presence of God with me. Once a rabbi I watch said that God extends his mercy and in that we realize our sin, we repent and then we go to him in thanksgiving, like the sinner woman (probably a prostitute) to rush to him to pour perfume on his feet and cry unconsolibly over them, wiping her tears with her hair. Yep, I was that woman, and I am glad I am, that could fell the mercy of my Lord trough all those people, even when he wasn't mine, but He acted as such.

[@tannerabbott1452]

I’ve made these twice so far, and they’ve turned out great. A few tips I have for people making them by hand (no stand mixer), like me, are: At first when you take the dough out of the bowl, it will seem SUPER dry. This is normal. If you keep kneading it, it WILL come together and if anything, it’ll be fairly sticky. While incorporating the butter the dough will start to seem like it’s falling apart. Keep on kneading, because after maybe a minute or two the dough will reform and be extremely elastic. Once this happens, add the next tablespoon of butter While kneading the dough you will be tempted to add a lot of flour. DON’T. The dough, especially after adding the butter, will seem sticky. But trust me, be conservative with the flour. Eventually the dough will incorporate the butter completely and will stop sticking. Other than that, I think you’re set. These dinner rolls are AMAZING, and this recipe is super convenient for other things such as cinnamon rolls, etc. Hope this helps!

[@aureliazhuang6293]

what do you think if I use a melted butter ?

[@tannerabbott1452]

That’s an interesting question. I would recommend to just use softened butter, as the melted butter would likely just coat the dough instead of incorporating into it. Another issue with using melted butter is unless you went super slow while adding it, you’d likely end up with a puddle of melted butter on your work surface. Hope this helps!

[@aureliazhuang6293]

Star Man Thank you for the tips~ have a nice day! :D

[@mybestguess2319]

Any tips for making them fluffier? I’ve made them a few times and they keep turning out fairly dense. They’re still good, just not even close to “fluffier than a Hawaiian roll”. Any tips appreciated!

[@tannerabbott1452]

Personally I found that to get them as fluffy as possible, kneading and proof time are especially important. Kneading enough will enable the gluten to fully form, and as long as you account for proof time, it’s extremely difficult to overknead this dough. Personally I turn on my oven for a few minutes, just until warm, and then proof them in there. Hope this helps!

[@luke32065]

My grandson, 9, made these with me tonight for Thanksgiving. So amazing! We doubled it to produce a large bowl of awesomeness. He ate four!!! He wants to be a chef one day and got JW's cookbook last week for his birthday. Video really helped as we have never made Japanese milk bread before.

I love this type of bread and I also made rolls just yesterday. Great minds think alike. As a side note, this bread will be quite sweet and it will be really good on its own but if you want it to work well with meats and salty dishes, I would suggest adding only 2 tablespoons of sugar.

To anyone doing this by hand without a mixer: I kneaded the dough with one piece of butter for about 2-3 minutes, until each one was used up. I then kneaded for another 10-12ish minutes, using a bench scraper to keep it in a ball shape and from sticking to the counter too much. DO NOT USE ANYMORE FLOUR! Just keep kneading even when it feels too sticky, try shaping into a ball then kneading again. I found this helped me to get it to stop sticking towards the end of my kneading!

Hokkaido Dinner Rolls (Josh Weissman) Take out egg, mise yourself up Tangzhong: 20g bread flour 2 tablespoons water 4 tablespoons (60g) whole milk Bread Dough: 320g bread flour 9g active dry yeast (instant works) 3/4 t (3g) fine sea salt ½ cup whole milk 56g granulated sugar 42g (3T) unsalted butter, softened 1 whole egg, room temperature Egg wash: one egg splash of whole milk (about 2T) Garlic Butter: 1-2 cloves garlic ¼ cup (56g) unsalted butter Make Tangzhong: heat ingredients over medium heat in a saucepan, constantly whisking (30 sec-2 minutes) until thick. Cool to room temp. Add 9 grams yeast to ½ cup milk that has been warmed to 90°. Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes In a mixer bowl (mixer fitted with dough hook), add the dough ingredients, (except butter and egg) and whisk to combine. Begin mixing at low speed and add tangzhong, yeast mix and egg until dough begins to form. Increase speed to medium low and gradually add butter in 1T increments until incorporated. Continue to mix 5-7 minutes, scraping if necessary, until dough is smooth and elastic. Turn out dough onto unfloured surface and roll around until the dough forms a tight boule. Place boule in a lightly greased bowl and cover with a damp towel and let sit at room temp for 1-2 hours, or until double in size. Punch down dough and turn out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 9 chunks, roughly equal in size. (about 75g each). Roll chunks into small, tight boules and place in a greased cake pan (9”x9”), about 1” apart. Cover again with a damp towel and allow to double in size again at room temp for about 1-2 hours. During this time, preheat oven to 350°. When ready, brush rolls with egg wash and bake at 350° for 28-30 minutes. While buns are baking, make garlic butter by mincing garlic and putting in a cold pan with butter. Allow butter to just melt and remove from fire. (keep warm so butter doesn’t solidify) When rolls come out of oven, brush generously with garlic butter and top with flakey salt. YUM! Note: these are frikkin A.MA.Zing! Every damn time. They freeze beautifully! We love them with garlic honey butter and last weekend made sliders with these as the buns. To die for.

I also NEVER leave reviews on KZbin recipes I try, even the ones I really like (just in case anyone is wondering if they’re really that good.. yes, they’re flavor pillows and you need to make them).

[@inquiringmind1287]

Love this recipe. Have used it for both loaf and rolls, and since I haven't seen anyone else do it yet lemme just help ya'll out if you're trying to follow along. • Set aside 1 egg so it can get to room temp. Tangzhong • To small sauce pan add 20 grams (2 tbsp) flour, 27 grams (2 tbsp) water, and 60 grams (4 tbsp) whole milk. • Turn it on medium heat, constantly whisk until it gets sticky and tacky. This can happen pretty quickly (30 seconds-2 minutes). • As soon as it gets thick and paste-like, remove from heat and let it get down to room temp. You can put it in a separate bowl off to the side. • While that cools, prepare the rest of your ingredients if you haven't already. Bread Dough • Heat 120 grams (1/2 c) of whole milk to 90-95 degrees Fahrenheit (32-35 degrees Celsius), add 9 grams (1 tbsp) active dry yeast. Stir and set to the side for about 10 minutes. • Combine 320 grams (2.5 cups) bread flour, 3 grams (3/4 tsp) fine sea salt, and 56 grams (1/4 c) granulated sugar. Whisk until combined. • Put in stand mixer with dough hook attached... that you forgot to plug in and attempt to turn it on. Have a 'shoulda had a v8' moment, plug in your stand mixer and THEN turn it on. (You can also do this by hand, be patient and keep working the dough.) • Add your Tangzhong, milk and yeast mixture, and 1 whole egg that is at room temperature. • Start the mixer at low speed and scrape sides of bowl as needed. • Once the dough is incorporated, you can keep the mixer at medium-low speed add 3 tbsp of unsalted and softened butter a little at a time until it's all incorporated. • Let the dough mix with everything incorporated for 5-7 minutes until smooth. • Once it's done place on an unfloured work surface and form into a tight ball. Place in medium sized greased bowl and cover with damp towel. Let rise 1-2 hours or doubled in size. • PUNCH (if possible) • Scrape onto lightly floured work surface and separate into 9 equal pieces about 75 grams. • Grease a 9x9 inch pan, and then roll the 9 separate pieces into balls and place them in rows of 3 in your pan. • Cover with damp towel and proof for 1-2 hours at room temp. (I usually start my oven preheating in the last 15 or so minutes of the prove to make sure I don't have to wait on it afterward) • Cover with egg wash (1 egg and 2 tbsp milk). Bake in an oven that's been preheated 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius for 28-30 minutes. • Once they're done, brush them with the garlic butter he taught ya'll how to make (there's less steps to this, I'm sure you'll get it), and flakey salt. Let cool or destroy while warm. **If you're making a loaf, separate into 3 equal pieces. Roll out each portion of the dough with a rolling pin into an oval shape, about 1/8” thick. Fold into 3rds. Roll out long ways to form a rectangle. Then roll it over to form a spiral (think cinnamon roll or something) and pinch the seam to seal. Do this with each of the three pieces and place them in your loaf pan seams down. Cover and let rise for about 45 minutes. Cover with egg wash, bake 350 for about 30 minutes like with the rolls. You'll know it's done when you tap it and it sounds hollow. If you plan to slice it, let it cool completely or you'll tear the bread rather than cut it and ruin your crumb.

I wanted to say a heart-felt thank you, thank you, thank you! I just recently retired and want to get back into cooking real food and saw these rolls and had to try them! They turned out fabulously perfect! When I was young they thought you were strange if you didn't use Betty Crocker Mixes -- (one of the reasons I stopped baking) so baking -- especially scratch dinner rolls -- has been intimidating to me all these years. This is SO MUCH BETTER and so empowering! I appreciate you, your talent and your willingness to share what you know. I can't wait to try the next baked good. 🙂

This is a legendary recipe. Anyone who wants to impress their friends or family, follow this precisely before you add your own style. I add 1/4 tsp onion powder and a 1/4 tsp of ground Celtic smoked salt as well as 1 tbs of herb de Provence to the flour. I also do 1 tbs of sugar with the milk water and yeast and add a 1tbs to the flour. Every person I have made these for has genuinely loved them. I made sliders today with them for a party and people lost their minds.

Amazing recipe! Tang song makes the bread soooo soft! I add 15gram more milk to make the dough more hydrated. But I guess the liquid amount really depends on the flour you use(according to my personal experience). Definitely worth a try!

Thank you so much! I've been on a quest to make a soft, fluffy yeast roll for a few months now. I'd tried two other recipes, both with varying degrees of failure. I'd tried other breads in an attempt to learn more. I've learned a lot about making bread in the process. And even more about doing it by hand. I applied those lessons to both this recipe today and the sub roll recipe from the Subway meatball hero video. Both turned out really well. But this one nearly made me cry because I've been trying to do this for months and even just making these I had to make some adjustments and call an audible on things. And it still turned out so well. Thank you thank you thank you! This recipe is my go-to now

Okay cooking friends and fam! I don't have a stand mixer nor do I have bread flour so boy was this an experiment! Let me start out with, yes it is all still possible, buuut may end up a touch different than Josh's beautiful buns. Using all purpose flour it gave me a much more dense bun. Still lovely and delicious! But more suitable for dinner roles. Not having a stand mixer was tough and took a lot of kneading! At first your dough looks too crumbly and then (possibly due to the all purpose flour instead of bread) was a dense dough where I didn't get a lot of elasticity. It got better once I added the butter! The dough didn't rise nearly as much as Josh's. This may have been my doing however as I was experimenting. I first let it rise for 2.5 hours but it wasn't growing as much, so I added an additional 30 minutes in the oven on it's "warmer" setting to see if it helped. I don't believe it did and may have dried my dough out too much as we go onto the next part! Kneading was difficult!! I felt the dough may have dried out a tad as it sat in the warm oven! I rekneaded the bread as little as I could for them to only kind of be able to take shape. At this point the dough wasn't filling in it's cracks well and had difficultly reincorporating smaller pieces of dough unless kneaded. They still ended up as weird looking semi balls semi blobs. The baking process took a smidge longer too. I started with 28 minutes and ended up having to add 12 minutes! This may differ for you though as I would start with the recommended and build by 2 or 4 minute increments as no one wants burnt buns. All in all, my family still loved them! I will experiment some more and update as I fail and succeed!

[@rambogilligan6894]

Same boat as for the all purpose flour and hand kneading... However as a happy accident I made a mistake with reading the recipe. (my fault) I added an additional 1/2 cup of milk. The dough did come out very similar to Joshua's in consistency without as much kneading as you would without it. I made it the "right way" with the exception of the mixer and all purpose flour and had the exact experience as you. But the first batch I made was more like his recipe. I hope this is helpful to anybody who is working with their hands.

[@ednasalinas8280]

[@danielshults5243]

Made these for Thanksgiving and I can confirm that they were like eating a buttery fluffy cloud. A few notes on my experience: I don't have a stand mixer. I kneaded by hand, keeping the dough in the bowl and working it until it formed a shaggy dough. Then I melted the butter in the microwave and added that and continued to knead in the bowl until the butter fully absorbed, which took a few minutes. It gets your hands greasy, obviously, but nbd. After that I turned it onto a lightly floured surface and kneaded another 7 or 8 minutes until it was quite smooth. It's also notable that I did not have a metal pan to cook these in, so I used glass. it actually works fine. I did 30 mins at 350 and they were awesome. I would recommend just keeping an eye on them and taking them out when they are nicely browned.

I’ve recently rediscovered my passion for baking, mostly due to high levels of anxiety with which I am struggling, and you’ve not only helped me learn so much about breadmaking and general quality home cooking, but you’ve also helped me find a meditative practice that works for me. Sure it doesn’t solve all my problems but for those hours spent making a beautiful final product, nothing can stop me.
