TANGZHONG EXPLAINED | All you need to know about Tangzhong and Yudane | Bread Baking 101 (EP230)

[@Soapartisan875]

I first discovered this beautiful soft and delicious bread when I visited a specialty Asian bakery and fell in love with custard filled milk bread . I would purchase several items and they would stay soft , fresh and fluffy even while being stored in the refrigerator for several days . Everyone should experience bread made with these techniques as the difference is amazing ..

[@flowersnpearls8179]

A most excellent explanation of two similar methods of precooking the flour. I have been incorporating the tangzhong method in my recipe for coconut milk flatbread. I wanted fluffiness as well as chewiness. I see now that yudane entails a wetter and smoother precooked mixture. I will try the yudane. Thank you for a well done video.

[@auramora]

Thank you for making this comparison. I love your cat's curiosity :3

[@oldbassist60]

Very nice instructional video. I have made this bread several time but with less than expected results. The flavor, shelf life, and crumb structure were great but the softness was never there. Perhaps, now, mine will turn out as expected. Thank you for explaining the differences and showing examples of each method. One interesting thing about the Japanese people is that when they take an existing idea, they perfect it, and then make it their own. That's really cool!

[@kitchenprincessbamboo]

Thanks for your kind word. Happy to be your help!

This is the best video I have seen on the difference between Yudane and Tangzhong. Your explanation and demonstration is just excellent. I can't thank you enough for this. Very informative!

[@kitchenprincessbamboo]

Thanks for saying so!

[@elisamizoguchi7421]

thank you for explain the difference about Yudane and Tangzhong. I'm going to try make with udane. the most problem here in Brazil is a quality of flour, it's not very good.

[@giadaarte]

Fabolous lesson of particolar asian kitchen, thank you so much. Hugs from Italy✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

[@chocolatte8803]

Thank you, thank you for explaining the tangzhong method in detail! I knew there was something missing from a certain video my young daughter insisted I used for tangzhong bread. I now know what went wrong using that video. My confidence has been restored and I will give it another go. And I can’t wait to try Yudane method. Because who doesn’t like mochi?!?

[@wy4553]

I LOVE soft asian bread. I've never liked the Western dense hard bread but that's what I find most of the time. If I had a stand mixer, I would totally try this! Thank you for the detailed explanation of these two breads.

[@woolpuppy]

I'm going to try hand kneading tomorrow! They have a hand kneading real time video, about 10 minutes start to finish. Maybe more while I figure out the rhythm. Should be fine with some good music :)

[@gjhomes]

@@woolpuppy you could always use a food processor to knead the dough. Much shorter machine time though. Check out the KZbin videos on the technique

[@carolynmeehan1714]

So interesting - thank you so much! I tasted shokupan for the first time when I visited Japan and it was amazing! Back home I found a few breads that were close ... but not the same. I had always gotten the impression that shokupan was too much of a pain for a home baker, so I never tried - so lazy, I never even looked at the recipes for myself, just believed it. Last week I found a recipe for baking BBQ pork into buns that used tangzhong - the minute I tasted them I thought "the bread is REAL shokupan!!!" (The recipe even called them "milk buns" and I still dared to be surprised - baka gaijin, how obvious can it get! LOLOLOL) I immediately used the dough recipe to make a loaf of shokupan and I was so pleased with the result! I can't wait to try the yudane method with your recipe next! Your videos are perfect - you explain everything perfectly and you show me exactly what everything should look like at each step - your videos give me the confidence to try new recipes because I know you will explain everything I need to know! Thank you again!

[@SAMARKANDIFoodchannel]

My favorite is your accent!!! Love it! I am obsessed with Tangzong bread. Didnt know about yudane method, will give it a try. Thanks for explaining out so clearly!

[@veevee111]

Thank you for this compare and contrast of the 2 bread making methods I've been so curious about. I can't wait to try these and I'll begin with the Tangzhong technique tonight.

[@jasperfen3754]

Thank you for the history lesson. watching your channel I have been fascinated at how Japan, which came relatively late to the wheat bread making game has been so good at it. Now I understand that our bread just wasn't good enough for you so you had to improve it. Thanks!

[@nadaizzatuljannah8212]

i've tried the tangzhong one n it turned out really good although it was my first time baking a bread

[@SunnyE_Mechwarrior]

I never heard of Yudane method but I always been making Tang Zhong method and the bread comes out amazing even if you use all purpose flour. I will try yudane method and see which I prefer

[@valesnts]

Have you tried it with yudane? I'm curious because in this video i think tangzhong looks easier to handle and have better outcome

[@tomspiers1658]

[@btd389]

This is by far the best milk bread tutorial but just one thing- Shokupan are squared loaves that are baked in lidded mold. The loaf with rounded top like this is called 'Igirisu pan', literally means English bread

[@kitchenprincessbamboo]

Thanks for pointing out but we call all loaf bread "Shokupan."

[@Foxbat-yj1ex]

I prefer Yudane method. I think Tanzong method derived from Yudane. The Yudane method is very similar to Indian bread. It was brought to Malaysia during the 30's by Indian bakers. When these bakers became too old they returned to India and no one continued their bread making method. Since then I never enjoyed any of the modern commercial breads. Thank you for introducing Yudane method bcoz if I am successful I can enjoy Shokupan Bread just like I enjoyed the Indian bread. Thank you for your recipe 共有していただきありがとうございます。

[@kitchenprincessbamboo]

Let me know how yours turned out！

[@ima7333]

I think you’re right that the taiwanese lady was inspired by yudane. In chinese dimsum or baking there’s similar method but using hot oil to make fluffy & crispy layered dough. No method with hot water that i know of. Thank you for this info

[@kitchenprincessbamboo]

Thank you for sharing your thought with me! Actually, there IS hot water skin in dim sum making!

[@DMichigan]

Yes, in Chinese it is called 燙麵 （boiled flour/dough）。 There is also 半燙麵 （half boiled flour/dough）。

[@oldbassist60]

In the charts explaining baker's percentages for Yudane and Tangzhong, I believe you mean the loaf sizes to be 190x110x105mm or approximately (7.5x4.5x4 inch) - Pullman Pan (8x4x4). I'm looking forward to using your recipe and making this incredible bread.

Hi there thanks for the video it was very helpful! Something ive found when ive attempted this is that my dough seems much stickier than what yours looked like in the video. I am using a stand mixer not hand mixing. Any suggestions? Thanks.

[@kitchenprincessbamboo]

Just keep going! All you need to do is getting used to handle the dough. Practice makes perfect. Thanks for watching.

[@georgepace9797]

@@kitchenprincessbamboo okay thanks. Im uses to making western style bread which is a lot less sticky so maybe thats why

[@gmnytsubscriber3813]

Do i need to use the yudane straight out from the fridge or do need to make it to room temperature? Also how long can I store a pre made yudane and how to store it properly? ❤️

[@alissasitihaura3567]

I generally like my ingredients cold and same with yudane, I'll use them straight from the fridge since it was warm from where I live so it helps with the dough temperature control, plus the mixer friction will generate heat during kneading anyway, so it will be fine.. and I usually store the yudane up to 3 days in the fridge, as long as the color not changes it will be fine I guess

[@13Luk6iul]

Very interesting! Thanks! For what reason is the yudane leftvin the fridge over night? Is that very important?

[@TaigiTWeseFormosanDiplomat]

Yes...the part not fully explain.

[@erickortiz765]

Given the small amount of water, the time is needed for the flour to hydrate

[@souldangler]

Thank you for your good video. One question. Why you put so much sugar in the dough? This makes the bread sweet. We in germany like ham or salami for breakfast. Sweet bread isnt very tasty in this combination. Can i bake yudane without sugar? will it work?

Would you mind sharing the brand of flour you use? Thanks!

[@peacenlovegirl1]

I have some doubts. I will appreciate if you clarify me this. If I use poolish, biga or any other pre ferments and tangzhon do I have to count the liquids and flour of the pre ferment for transforming my recipe to tangzhong?

[@zainabbahman9997]

Thanks my dear

[@edi9892]

Just by the looks of it in this video, I'd prefer Tangzhong. It's also the only one I've tried thus far (yesterday for the first time). I was pleasantly surprised by the nice smell and consistency of the milk bread. I made milk bread before but they are both quite different (Peshwari naan, and a Turkish style bread with a little milk added as the starter). Today, the Japanese-style milk bread felt twice as heavy, but it still tasted fine. I bet that it would have been still fine one more day, but I think that the quality deteriorates. Compare this to the bread with little milk, the bread got actually hard and drier and was essentially worthless after three days (the taste and smell deteriorated). This makes me wonder about what role the climate plays in the preferences for bread. The very basic European hard bread can be stored for a significant time, but we usually eat a slightly softer bread, which roughly lasts one week in our climate. They have a nasty habit of getting moldy, which is quite surprising considering that we aren't known for high humidity. Similarly, I found it weird how much heavier the Japanese-style bread got on the following day, which indicates that it sucked up a massive amount of water (whereas my other milk bread dry out!). Lastly, the naan doesn't really look to me like bread made for a hot environment, but that's exactly where it stems from...

[@bjerles]

This looks so good! I have a couple of questions. I Ami the USA. What are the measurements in cups, teaspoons,etc? Can you use honey instead of sugar? Can it be made in a bread machine? Thanks so much!

[@philip6502]

See charts online.

[@sbettybop]

After you take the yudane from the fridge, do you need to let the Yudane come to room temperature before adding it into the dough?

[@Crovea]

I tried the recipe and believe i followed it exactly but i ended up with a puddle of dough and had to add a ton of flour to get it to at all stick together. maybe my yudane wasn't well made

[@rodolfomejuto2226]

Hi, Akino-san!! I hope you're ok. I'm wondering if I can combine tangzhong and yudane at the same time in the same bread 😂, what do you think about? I have another question. I know I can use milk to prepare tangzhong and water to prepare yudane but, I'd like to know if I can prepare yudane with milk? I can prepare shokupan with flour all purposes?

[@kitchenprincessbamboo]

I don't think it’s a good idea. The dough becomes too dense. "Yu" for Yudane means "hot water." If you use milk, it's not Yudane anymore. But you can always try new things! Thanks for watching.

[@cypressarea]

Do you cook the Milk?

[@abdullahmohammad855]

I didn't understand what do you mean by (Yudane 10~20%)?

[@LS-zo3cr]

I think with using Yudane you increase the amount of liquid by 10-20%. Precisely it is 17,5%. Without Yudane the ratio of liquid to fluor is (50+175)/325 and as in percentage it is 70%. When you use Yudane the ratio becomes (125+50+175)/(125+325) -87.5%. So it increases from 70% to 87.5%. But the ratio of flour to water stated in this video 2:53 is not right, it says 1 : 1.5 and it has to be 1.15 because there is more flour than water. Amount of flour divides door water or liquid is 400/350=1.15.

My first attempt to bake a Yudane Shokupan is a disaster. The bread collapsed after putting it in the oven. It is moist, fluffy and tasty nevertheless. It's just plain ugly. 😅 I just noticed that my original Made in Japan ✌ mold is bigger (bigger Shokupan is better 😊) than the ones you suggest (👉260x133x135). Maybe that's why.
