Ingredients
  • subheading: 1X2X3X:
  • subheading: For 1 Rectangular Shokupan Loaf (1.5 kin (斤) size):
  • 250 g warm water (104ºF, 40ºC; in the summertime when the kitchen is warm, use room temp or cold water; read about desired dough temperature in my blog post)
  • 20 g sugar
  • 7 g Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • 10 g honey
  • 7 g instant yeast (I use Fleischmann’s® bread machine yeast; 1 packet (all types) weighs 7 g; use every last granule in the packet; DO NOT use old yeast that‘s more than 6 months old; to substitute active dry yeast, use the same amount or up to 25% more active dry and proof it first in the warm water from the recipe)
  • 350 g bread flour ( King Arthur)
  • 20 g skim milk powder or nonfat dry milk powder ( Bob’s Red Mill; for vegan, use coconut milk powder; avoid soy milk powder as the dough does not rise well)
  • 25 g unsalted butter (room temperature; for vegan, use  Miyoko’s)
  • subheading: For Greasing:
  • ½ tsp neutral oil (for greasing the bowl)
  • 10 g unsalted butter (room temperature; for greasing the pan; or use cooking oil spray)
