TangZhong and 75% Hydration: Fact or Myth? Novita Listyani 2023-01-06 | Today, we're going to clear up a question that we've been asked by a lot of people, do we need to add water to a tangzhong recipe or adjust the hydration to a higher percentage after we convert it from a recipe without tangzhong? A lot of people believe the hydration should be raised to 75%, is it a fact or is it a myth?In this video, we're going to go through the science behind it and explain why it's not necessary.

The Truth About Sourdough | Not Healthier! Novita Listyani 2024-05-09 | In this video, we’re going to break down the halo of sourdough. When people describe sourdough, they frequently talk about how good and healthy it is, but while sourdough's functional benefits for bread quality are confirmed, its benefits for health have yet to be clearly established in actual science. That's why, today, we're digging deep to find out how many of the claims about sourdough have solid evidence behind them, and what the science really says about sourdough. We'll be basing the video mainly on 2 review papers (see the references below), although there are many other papers mentioned as well.As a quick note, we want to say that this is definitely not meant to be a negative video about sourdough, but rather, it's a deeper look at the many claimed health benefits that can often mislead people into thinking that a sourdough bread is healthier than it really is. Because while sourdough does make better tasting bread that lasts longer, it doesn't necessarily make it the healthiest option available.Watch the video for more!References1.

From Premium Japanese Shokupan in Crisis to French Baguettes Going Soft | A Modern Bakery Saga Novita Listyani 2024-04-11 | In this video, we're going to be diving into a lot of food culture. We explore the story of Premium Japanese Shokupan in Japan and talk about the trend of French baguettes going soft as consumers turn to softer breads. Once a lucrative business in Japan, the Premium Shokupan trend has since cooled and may have become more of a problem rather than an opportunity for business owners. Meanwhile, in France, the crisp and crusty baguette, as we know it, may become very different as consumers change their preferences.Watch the video for more!#shokupan #baguette Chapters0:00 Opening0:15 Store Closing2:26 Shokupan3:42 The Boom5:15 Conflict7:41 Analyst10:42 Talk Show12:05 Personal View14:00 Baguette going soft
Preferment, The Science | How and When to Use It Novita Listyani 2024-03-27 | Today, we’re going to continue with our discussion on preferment.

The Case for Preferments | Preferments vs. Long Fermentation Novita Listyani 2024-03-08 | Today, we're going to make the case for preferments. As someone who uses pre-ferments quite frequently in my recipes, among the many positive comments I get, I sometimes receive some very repetitive comments telling me that preferments are essentially useless for home bakers or that there's no need to do them. After going through enough of these comments, I decided to make this video. Here, I'm going to make the argument for preferments, based on science of course. We'll talk about why pre-ferments are different from a long straight dough fermentation. We're also going to cover what kind of pre-ferments there are and how we can best use them.

Focaccia | Tangzhong and Poolish Method Novita Listyani 2023-09-10 | Today, we're going to show you, step-by-step, how to make a delicious and easy focaccia, based on science. It's fluffy and soft inside, with a satisfying crunch on the outside. To get both of those characteristics, we're using tangzhong which also has the added benefit of making the dough a little easier to handle. For the matter of flavor, we're also using a poolish left overnight to develop complex tastes and aromas.

A Quick Fix for a Weak Sourdough Starter Novita Listyani 2023-07-15 | Today, we're talking about the science behind adding a small amount of instant yeast, along with your sourdough, into bread dough. Sourdough and the commercial strains of baker's yeast lead to very different bread making processes, and in this video, we look to explore some of those differences, focusing on what happens to the bread we make with the 2 kinds of fermentation. From volatile compounds to amino acids, there are several aspects that significantly influence the flavor of the resulting bread, and when we use both commercial baker's yeast and sourdough in combination, we need to be careful to prevent the instant yeast from overpowering the sourdough. The addition of sourdough can also have adverse effects on the dough, which means we need to balance its addition as well.

Delicious and Snowy Crustless Shokupan | Japanese Milk Bread with Trehalose Novita Listyani 2023-06-26 | In this video, we're making a crustless, and snowy white shokupan. While this kind of bread is relatively rare in Western bakeries, it is somewhat popular in several Asian countries, going under the name Shiropan (白パン) in Japanese and angel white bread (天使白面包) in Chinese, albeit not necessarily in the shape of a shokupan. This recipe is our version of this bread in the form of a shokupan loaf, and despite the fact that it doesn't use tangzhong, this beautiful bread is incredibly soft and absolutely delicious, thanks to the poolish we use and the natural sugar, trehalose, which we introduce in the video. Found in mushrooms, honey, and more, trehalose is often called a sugar of life and a resurrection sugar. It is a very useful ingredient in everything from food to medicine, and has numerous reported health benefits, and when paired with this bread recipe, it makes for a perfect combination. The end result is a bread that stays soft and lasts longer, with a crust that tastes just like the crumb.

The Concept of Emergence in Bread Making Novita Listyani 2023-05-27 | Today, we're talking about the concept of emergence as it applies to bread making. This video is a bit different from our ordinary videos, because it delves more into our philosophy on baking bread. Now, before you go to search for this concept online, you should know that this is probably the first time the concept has been used for bread-making like this, so you're unlikely to come across another one like this for now. While the concept might seem abstract, we've found it a very useful way to describe how we think about bread recipes and understand the science behind them. We hope it makes a fruitful addition to your baking experience.

Japanese Milk Bread - Shokupan with 20% Whole-Wheat Tangzhong and Honey Novita Listyani 2023-05-21 | In this video, we're making a healthier bread using a mix of whole wheat and bread flour, with honey as a natural sweetener. Thanks to the whole wheat, the bread contains more fiber and nutrients, making it better for our digestive system and bodies. Using the whole wheat along with the tangzhong process gives us softer bread with a longer shelf life, and by resting the whole wheat tangzhong overnight, we reduce the amount of phytic acid which is what impairs the absorption of minerals like zinc, iron, and calcium. When we throw honey into this mix, we don't just get a sweeter bread, the honey also gives our bread a range of benefits, similar to what tangzhong does. All together, we end up with a simple and beautiful bread that's better for our health and still absolutely delicious.

Japanese Milk Bread with Tangzhong 35% | Super Soft Shokupan Novita Listyani 2023-05-13 | What happens when you add high amounts of Tangzhong/Yudane to your recipe? Well, while researching the answer to this question, there seemed to be 2 opposing answers leading us to two very different breads.One of these breads lasted for days, and was one of the best shokupan breads I've ever made, while the other was not only harder in texture but it also had a shorter shelf life. What makes this incredibly interesting is that both breads contain a high amount of Tangzhong and in fact, they contain the same percentage of tangzhong, 35%. They were also made in the same way, with the same ingredients. It truly begs the question, what makes them so different? Now, this initially came to our attention from 2 research papers, seemingly showing opposite results when it came to higher percentage tangzhong bread. One commended 40% Tangzhong/Yudane bread, especially, for being both softer and longer lasting, but the other stated the opposite, declaring 30% as the maximum limit with bread getting harder and staling faster at percentages beyond that. This video goes into what's going on, based on science, of course, and how you can avoid it in your bread, I also talk about why this was a huge game changer for me, because this bread was simply delicious.

The Science of a Japanese Milk Bread: A Shokupan Recipe Novita Listyani 2023-04-29 | Of the asian breads that have risen to fame, Shokupan must be a sure shoo-in for one of the most popular breads. Although it looks practically identical to regular white breads in shape, this Japanese milk bread stands apart by having an incredibly soft and fluffy texture that lasts for days. This is largely thanks to its popular derivative ingredient, Yudane, the gelatinized starch mixture that also adds a natural sweetness to the bread. When this Yudane is paired with the right composition of ingredients, we get a perfectly made loaf. That is exactly what we're going to do in this video, and naturally, we're using science to guide our way. From the proper making and use of Yudane, to the optimum amounts of milk, sugar, salt, and butter, we'll look into everything we need to know for the perfect loaf.

The Science of Sourdough-Tangzhong Breads Novita Listyani 2023-03-25 | Over the years, my mom and I have made many types of breads using a variety of leavening agents and methods. From the simple and easy straight dough method with instant yeast to the delicious artisan bread methods with sourdough, we've gone through a lot of different techniques, and one thing we've realized is that each of these techniques have their own unique benefits in bread-making. It is incredibly easy to get wrapped up in one technique and get absorbed in the process of mastering it, especially one like the sourdough bread-making method. Since sourdough is very popular and famously beneficial, this is very common for many bread bakers, they focus on sourdough and basically disregard the other bread making methods. Which is a great pity! There's a wonderful reason to experiment with other methods, even if your main focus is sourdough. Because, even though sourdough can give you a very healthy and delicious bread, it doesn't mean there's no room for improvement. In fact, that's what we're setting out to do in this video, we're going to see why adding tangzhong to sourdough bread is a good idea, and how we can do it. These are 2 methods that have numerous reasons for being put together, and the resulting bread is an absolutely delightful combination of their benefits, it's tasty, healthy, and very versatile. While there are some challenges to combining the 2, they're quite easy to overcome with the addition of instant yeast, and if you're curious about why, then do watch the video for more!#bread #sourdough #tangzhong References1.

A Tale of Two Sourdough Starters | The Science Behind Sourdough Chaos Novita Listyani 2023-02-16 | Today, we'll be revisiting sourdough, more specifically, sourdough starters. Sourdough starters get a lot of reputation for, at times, being difficult to start and troublesome to maintain. This is unsurprising given that, as we've seen before, sourdough resists that sort of normal recipe standardization . In this video, we're going to explore some reasons for that chaos, as well as why those same reasons can be beneficial to our bread. It's going to be another deep dive into sourdough and the science behind it, watch the video for more!#sourdough #sourdoughstarter #bread #artisanbread References:1.

Why You Should Care About The Amount of Flour You Use for Tangzhong/Yudane Novita Listyani 2023-01-25 | Today, we're furthering our discussion on Tangzhong/Yudane, going deeper into frequently asked about topics, such as how the amount of flour used for Tangzhong/Yudane will affect the resulting bread and the many applications of this method. While Tangzhong/Yudane is frequently treated like a set ingredient, we prefer to think of it as a derivative ingredient, where changes in how we make the Tangzhong/Yudane can seriously affect our bread. This way of thinking about Tangzhong/Yudane opens up a much wider view of how we can use it, which we cover in this video based on science! From making a bread slightly sweeter to giving a homemade pizza a softer cornicione, we're going to show you how to improve your home baking with research papers.

Sourdough Bread: The Science and Art | A Comprehensive Guide Novita Listyani 2022-12-27 | A delicious and complex flavor, a crispy crust covered in hues of golden brown, and an arresting open crumb. These are all the basic characteristics of a good artisan bread. It'd be better if the bread also had a reasonable shelf life and was nutritious, as well. To achieve these characteristics, the baking industry has a wide range of bread improving additives, many of which you can find on the ingredients list of a loaf at the supermarket. However, as home bakers, we try to avoid these sort of additives, instead going for more natural options, one of them being sourdough. Sourdough bread is the oldest form of leavened bread, this method has been passed on for centuries, and for good reason. Sourdough influences practically all aspects of bread quality in a generally positive way. There are numerous health benefits associated with using sourdough and the bread is well known for its remarkable taste.The greatest obstacle to making sourdough, though, is probably how it resists the normal recipe standardization we're so used to, it requires an understanding of the sourdough starter and its specific traits. There are quite a few parts of sourdough bread baking that differ greatly from other kinds of bread baking, and that's part of what this video aims to talk about.In this video, we're going to delve into sourdough and how to make sourdough bread. We're going to show you how to make a high quality artisan sourdough bread, with a beautiful open crumb and delicious crisp crust, using all the relevant scientific facts. We'll also go into detail on the live cultures residing in a sourdough starter, wild yeasts and bacteria, as well as how to give them a conducive environment to grow. Because each sourdough starter can be different, this video gives you all the information you need to fully understand and make the best use out of your starter.

How to Make Better Homemade Baguettes with Tangzhong and Poolish Novita Listyani 2022-11-20 | The ideal fresh baguette is complex in perception. It has an appetizing and rich aroma, paired with the complex flavors of long fermentation, and that dense yet holey crumb. Under a little pressure, it cracks and gives out a series of clean and crisp sounds, the sign of a crisp crust. To top all of these off, the baguette is made with only 4 ingredients, flour, water, salt, and yeast.Such an ideal fresh baguette is the ultimate end goal of many bakers, including us. This video is a detailed guide on how to make better homemade baguettes with the basic tools we have on hand, and of course, based on science. To achieve that, we're using poolish and tangzhong, the first is for increased taste and aroma, and the latter is for a softer texture, to enable the baguettes to last for longer, and also prevent them from drying up in the oven, due to the prolonged baking. There are many important steps in the making of these baguettes, which we're going to be covering in this video, including long fermentation, proper shaping, and the right way to bake the baguettes for the perfect crumb firmness and crust brittleness. These baguettes are crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, and last for a good while, although they're always gone within an hour here!

Why the 1:5 Flour-Water Ratio of Tangzhong for Bread Baking is a Bad Idea: Its Just Too Much... Novita Listyani 2022-10-12 | In this video, we're going to be covering the popular Tangzhong method for bread baking, and making a solid case, based on science, for why you should avoid it and use a method like Yudane instead. To avoid any confusion though, first, we'll show you that Tangzhong is just another name for Yudane, there's absolutely no difference between the two, and then we're going to show you a couple of reasons why the "Tangzhong" method, as it's commonly shared with a 1:5 flour to water ratio, has serious limitations with no obvious extra benefits as compared to Yudane with 1:1 flour to water ratio. We'll also be covering how to make tangzhong/yudane properly, how to convert a recipe to tangzhong/yudane, how much tangzhong/yudane you should use, and whether we need more water to get a soft and fluffy bread loaf after converting a recipe to Tangzhong/Yudane recipe.We try to address frequently asked questions (FAQ) about tangzhong/yudane that most beginners or even experts in bread baking will wonder about before adding it to their bread dough. With all the information floating around online, it can seem to be very confusing and complex, but in reality, the underlying principles are relatively straightforward. We pored over many research papers on the history, origins and applications of tangzhong/yudane, and the science behind starch gelatinization. For these purposes, we've looked at papers in Japanese, Chinese, and English, to get a really good view of the research. There is a lot of misinformation spread around on this bread-improving technique, which is part of what we aim to tackle. The real key to the method whether it's called tangzhong, yudane, or water roux, is starch gelatinization, which we cover in depth in this video to show you how different methods ultimately lead to this same goal. Many methods online do not seem to get the full benefits out of using gelatinized starch in bread to get softer and tastier bread.This video is going to be a deep dive into the science and research of gelatinized starch in bread. By the end of the video, you'll come away with plenty of information on tangzhong/yudane, perfect for making the soft and delicious bread of your dreams.Watch the video for more!with @SeraphineLisheChannel #tangzhong #yudane #starchgelatinizationReferences:1. 湯種添加量與熟成條件對麵包品質之影響 柯玉文2. 湯種中の加熱糊化澱粉が生地の製パン性に与える影響 Effect of Gelatinized Wheat Starch on Bread-making Qualities of Yudane Dough (2015) Daiju Yamada et al3. 柴田太，加藤博信，パン類の製造法，特許第3167692 号 (2001. 3. 9). 4. 深沢忠史，貝沼謙，パン類生地及びパン類の製造方法，特許第3624894 号(2002. 2. 21).5. 杉山幹雄，貝沼謙，安田茂樹，湯捏種および湯捏種を用いたパン類の製造方法，特開2004-000123号(2004. 1. 8).6.
