Kelly, of A Messy Kitchen, was our Kitchen of the Month for February. Kelly challenged us to make Black Sesame Shokupan, utilizing a distinct approach for making milk bread: yudane (yoo-dah-nay). You mix flour and boiling water and let it relaxation within the fridge in a single day. The ensuing bread is delicate and tender and has an extended shelf life, though, to be sincere, such a bread does not final very lengthy.
We had the selection of constructing a marbled bread utilizing black sesame paste, or, a extra conventional wanting bread. I could not resist the marbled bread! I purchased a jar of black sesame paste (earlier than the recipe had been added to Kelly’s submit), which is an efficient factor as a result of I would like it for different bakes (orange-black sesame cookies, for one).
I had enjoyable creating the marbled impact. The top outcome was superb! Every slice reveals a distinct sample, and every slice is really a murals. I ought to have photographed every slice to indicate the development (overkill possibly?). I used to be actually unhappy when the bread was gone. Positively a bread I’ll make once more. (Pondering of County Honest time this summer season.)
This was a terrific selection for our first 2024 problem. Forgive the geological humor within the title, however I could not resist.
