      @Giles:

      Just about what I was wanting to achieve….

      Looks good, although I don’t know whatvitnos supposed to look like. How do the Japanese eat it? I suspect it will be great with butter and jam.

      It can be made with quite a lot of sugar, for sweet stuff, or little or none for savoury stuff….

      And this is what a good one looks like, so I have a way to go  🙂 🙂

      I did not knead the dough as per the recipe, but did a Forkish Pinch and fold - next time I'll knead.  Also one of these would have helped:

      So, I have one inbound….

          Similar to the sweet dough I use for Norwegian "bolle" and cinamon swirls. That replaces water with milk. I've only made that using regular kneading and large amounts of yeast. I think that less yeast and less vigorous dough manipulation will require lots of time for fermentation.

          @kkibbey23 lovely crumb on that bread. I prefer not scoring the bread at all and baking seam side up so you get rugged, more organic splits. These give a great ear. Also, have you considered baking dark rather than that blonde colour? I find it increases the flavour of the crust massively which creates a great contrast with the white flour sourdough.

            @neph93  thanks I'll have to try not scoring at all and see how that goes!

            Believe it or not, I actually pushed this for me a bit… you should have seen some of my other bakes[emoji38]… I agree I definitely need to push it a little more and go for darker color.

            I'll give it a try next weekend

              OK, I'm heading down another rabbit-hole. Yep, Japanese milk breads…..

              Today, I'm experimenting with hokkaido (with a tangzhong), dinner rolls.....

                      I would too… they look delightful. I also want gorgonzola, now.

                          @neph93 went a bit darker today. I gotta say I think it is a good bit better.

                          I need to push it more next time for sure. I also am starting to think about some different recipes, and maybe some whole weat etc.

                                          Do you guys make croutons like it do with leftover bread? Or do you typically eat it all before it starts to stale?
