Loaf Bread/ Water Roux Method

Loaf Bread/ Water Roux Method



This is another great recipe for soft bread. This recipe is using water roux method same as Hokkaido milky loaf but without whipping cream. This is kind of bread can be made for everyday bread.

It has been quite some times I leave my bread machine aside. Since I don't have the mood to hand knead, this time I let the machine to do the work. The 1st time I follow the exact amount of water 125ml water and turn out sticky dough. Therefore I reduce the water to 110ml and this gave me the right easy handle dough. So do adjust the water level accordingly.
