Instructions
- To make Tangzhong take a small pan, whisk water and whole wheat flour together without any lumps. Heat the mixture over medium heat and stir continuously till translucent. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Bloom yeast with lukewarm milk.
- Add cooled Tangzhong in a wide bowl with 4tablespoon of sugar, salt and bloomed yeast and 21/2cup whole wheat flour. Knead for 5minutes (I used electric hand beater)
- Knead well till everything combines together. The dough should pull off the side of the bowl. If it's sticky add tablespoon of flour at a time.
- Add softened butter and flour alternatively to the dough. Knead till it becomes shiny and pull off the side of the bowl. Use only 3 cups of flour as mentioned. Knead well for 15 minutes.
- Make a ball out the dough and place it in a greased bowl. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel for the first proofing.
- When it's doubled divide the dough into equal parts and roll and shape the dough as shown. Place the shaped dough in a greased loaf tin.
- Let it proof for 45 minutes or until doubled in size. Preheat oven to 180 degree centigrade. In a small bowl whisk egg yolk with milk for egg wash.
- With a pastry brush apply egg wash on top of the rolled bread dough. This will ensure a golden brown top for the loaf.
- Bake for 20 minutes, rotating the baking tray to 180 degree half way through baking for even distribution of heat. When baking is done cool it on a wire rack.
- Demould from tin and cool completely.
- Using serrated knife slice the healthy bread evenly and serve with jam, butter or with any accompaniment.
