Hi

I'm intrigued by the gelatinized dough! Is this the same as that the water-roux?

I have used the water-roux method (tangzhong), but find it a challenge to get the right consistency in each attempt. Either too runny or over boiled -- too pasty.

Yours look really easy to make! N the resulting bread looks just as good :)

Thank you!

Hi Anonymous,

This is much easier than water roux. You can give this a try.
