I would like to do this in my longer Pullman pan. Would that work?

Was just searching your substack for a shokupan recipe! I’m so excited to try this! Also thanks for including liquid and dry milk measurements. 2 questions:

1. What is the purpose of the 2 folds? Is it possible to mix to window pane in the beginning and omit those?

2. Do you or have any plans for a sourdough version? Very grateful for this yeasted one though!

Suggest that future PDFs include your name (and copyright notice?). Also, I for one would have preferred it if it was formatted to print out in 2 pages rather than 3. Thanks.

Just made this recipe yesterday. Beautiful rise, golden brown crust, fine crumb and cottony soft texture. Will try to enrich it with egg next time. I have made a sourdough version before, which gives it another element of flavor. Baked in a pullman without a lid and brushed the butter on after baking. Would an egg wash be appropriate, as I do like the finish it gives.

Maybe I missed it, but if making 100g buns do those still bake at 325? Thank you, and I can’t wait to try it this weekend!

This is delicious bread! I wasn't convinced I'd like it since it's so soft and sweet, but it makes amazing toast. It is so different from my standard sourdough, with its crackly crust and hefty chew. Excellent counterpoint when I want something different.

Made a 13x4 pullman version and a couple of regular fluted pans. Question for you - the Maine Grain pans look great, it doesn't look like they have lids? Assuming then the tops would be more mountainous like the fluted pan? Debating whether to buy the 9x4 or not, I love the look of the pans with the square shape. And these were a BIG hit with my bakery customers that tested them this week!

Delicious bread! Bought a pullman to try it and liked it so much I bought a second pullman. Kept a quarter of one loaf around stored in a plastic bag to see how long it would stay fresh. Made it 7 days before it even begin to show any noticeable signs of staleness.

Great recipe, turned one loaf into cinnamon rolls and they were divine. It might be my preferred dough for cinnamon rolls.

I've made this dough a few times now, adding a number of grain and puree variations, though I'm still mostly using the original recipe as a base inspiration.

So even as my own versions drift, I do want to thank you for sharing. This post got me to think about scalds as something for enriched breads, and it convinced me to get some pullman pans (which makes sandwich making for kid lunches so much easier...)

I do not understand your formula and what you mean by "add the remaining milk". - Is milk in Yudane 300 g and milk added to main dough 240 g, for a total of 540 g? Then, how is that 66% of total flour of 745g? Thank you for explaining, please.

Saw your IG post and the “new” version for this bread. Any context to why the reduction of the 1:1 sugar-rice flour ratio in the yudane and the addition of an egg yolk? Thank you!
