IMG_7481why is it called japanese hotel bread? well, simply because the ones served in japan hotels are that soft and fluffy…
there have been many of this bread recipes floating on the net.. but i guess this is one of the authentic ones
为啥叫日式酒店吐司面包?因为日本酒店的吐司方包特别额外滴柔软。。
在网上看过特多hotel bread 的食谱。。想必,这个应该是较地道的哈

牛奶 134克 (67%)(不可用低脂或脱脂奶)

Directions/做法

IMG_7479– mix flour, yeast, egg yolk, sugar and salt with warmed milk (35 degrees C) in bread machine
将面粉、酵母、蛋黄、糖和盐放入面包机容器中,然后倒入已加热至35摄氏度的牛奶

– knead for about 13-15 mins in machine till dough is smooth
进行搓面团程序,约13-15分钟,直到面团光滑

– add in butter and continue to knead for 15 mins till you get window pane stage
加入黄油,继续搓揉约15分钟至薄膜状态

– shape dough into a ball and rise till it is 2.5x the original size, around 90 mins at room temperature of 30 degrees C
面团搓成圆形,发酵至2.5倍大 (30摄氏度室温内发酵约90分钟)

– after first rise, punch dough down and fold into thirds for 2 times. allow to rise to about 2.5x once again, around 40 mins at 30 degrees C
一次发酵完毕后,将面团排气,将其三折两次。休面至2.5倍大 (30摄氏度室温内发酵约40分钟)

– sprinkle table top with flour, and punch dough down, divide into 3 equal portions and roll each portion up. cover with wet cloth and allow dough to rest for 30 mins
案板上撒上面粉,面团再次排气,分割成3等分。将各面团卷起,盖上湿布,再次休面30分钟

– roll each dough portion out with rolling pin to remove gas, and roll it up once again. this time, swiss roll it tightly
休面后,用擀面杖将各面团擀平后卷起。这次需确保面团卷紧

– place rolled dough into greased loaf pan, and press top of dough down firmly to adjust the shape. cover with wet cloth and allow to rise for 60-80 mins at 40 degrees C
将卷起后的面团码到抹上黄油的烤盘里,在面团顶部稍微压一压以便整形。盖上湿布后,以40摄氏度室温进行最后发酵,约 60-80分钟

– rise dough till it is 2cm from top of pan. preheat oven to 200 degrees C
面团发酵至约8分满后预热烤箱至200摄氏度

– slit the top of the loaves and place chilled solid fat into the slits *solid fat = unsalted butter/margarine. you can also use shortening
用锋利的厨刀在发酵后的面团上割一刀,然后放上一小条冷黄油/酥油或玛琪林

– reduce oven temperature to 180 degrees for 5 mins, then bake bread at 160 degrees for 20 mins. it will rise up nicely with a soft crust
将烤箱温度调至180摄氏度约5分钟后,将面包送入烤箱,以160摄氏度烤20 分种即可

Personal notes/温馨小贴士:

IMG_7467– i made this loaf 3x, and advice is: please reserve about 20% of milk and add carefully as this is a very very wet batter!
这个吐司老娘做了3回。。忠告:加奶时,请保留百分之二十。。看情况适量滴加哈。。。这个面团。。真不好搞

– the loaf somehow does not rise very high, so do consider making twice the recipe like me if you want to use a 450g loaf pan
这个面团不是发得特高,所以你要想用450吐司烤盘,或许考虑想我一样,做双倍分量哈

– i baked the loaf for 40 mins in 180 degrees C
我的吐司全程以180摄氏度烤箱烤了40分钟

    The name Japanese hotel bread already lifts up to its name….if it could given this name, already knew it should be a 5 star bread. So soft in texture.

  • Grace says:

    Tempted to try, look at the texture, so soft….
    I am still searching for Super Strong Bread Flour in SG.

  • lena says:

    hi victoria, what is the protein level for super strong bread flour that you were using? looks wonderful this loaf of yours.

    • hello lena, the protein level of the bread flours in my kitchen are as such: gold medal better for bread: 12.5% and allison very strong bread flour ~ 13.9g. i remembered using one which was 14.9% but can\’t remember the brand unfortunately :S

  • chloe says:

    Hi Victoria thanks for your prompt response on my earlier queries. Can I replace super strong flour with bread flour. I can get gold medal bread flour I think
    What about the texture if I use all bread flour
    Thanks for being so patient
    Will update u once I tried out the recipies

    • Hi Chloe, yes, u definitely can use bread flour and in entirety. I will say monitor the amount of water that you add i.e. reserve some water instead of adding all at a go. Then add as needed

      I hvnt tried using all bread flour for this but i am pretty sure it will lack this soft element in it. don\’t get me wrong ~ it will still be fluffy i believe, but this bread when incorporating some cake flour gives it that sponge cake texture if i may describe it that way.

      Hope this helps… no worries abt questions.. we all try to get our queries answered before baking.. I\’m like that too 😉

  • chloe says:

    Hi Victoria. Thanks . jap hotel bread does not have cake flour. Hope I didn\’t confuse u
    My bread flour has 12.7 percent protein
    Since I can\’t get super strong flour I will just use all bread flour as per your advice. Thanks for patience. Also what is the measurements of your 450,gm loaf pan. Both with and without lid
    I need to buy one from amazon. Thanks for all your help.
