Enriched Bread - Tangzhong Method (Ankarsrum Mixer)

The softest ever bread, this enriched dough is just perfect. Using Tangzhong made before starting the dough, helps to create the perfect bread. This recipe will make 2 2lb(900g) loaves or 10 large buns, or even 1 loaf and 5 buns, of wonderfully soft and fluffy bread. Perfect for sandwiches, for hamburgers, for salad rolls etc. Best made in a stand mixer since there is a lot of kneading, but the result is perfection.

Oh it was lovely. The softest bread I have ever eaten,

[@maryoconnell35]

Thank you for the recipe, I haven't seen that dough attachment before, I have a dough hook on mine, I presume that would do the same job.

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Mary. The dough hook is more common on tilt-head stand mixers. It will work fine. The difference is that with the Ankaarsrum dough roller it more closely resembles hand kneading so it doesnt tend to tear the dough in the same way that a dough hook does.

The burger buns look really good. I'm going to make the ginger tray bake today cake 🥮

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Diane. Thanks. I hope you enjoy your ginger bake.

[@dianesadler]

@geoffsbakingblog well the cake is in the oven. I've watched so many of you baking blogs I find myself meticulously scraping every last bit of ingredients and mixture out the bowls. 🤣 and I licked the spatula like Julia Child

[@geoffsbakingblog]

@@dianesadler I hope you didn't do the other thing that Julia often did, swiping the shells, skins etc off the counter and onto the floor.

[@Cornz38]

Make great fried bread i'll wager...

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Cornz38. It may do but I haven't tried that.

[@judyblaise1639]

Geoff, what does the Tangzhong method do to the bread? Thank you and the bread looks so good.

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Judy. The main purpose is that it creates a bread with a softer/fluffier texture. The cooking some flour with the water allows the gluten strands to increase in length, and is then able to absorb more water. The greater hydration in a dough tends to lead to a softer texture. It also has the effect of slowly the process of the bread going stale.
