Tangzhong - making simple bread better

https://oventales.com/tangzhong/

Hey!

Recently while trying to get GPT4 to give me some clever info on how to easily make better buns I learned about Tangzhong. It's just 1/5 flour to water in a small pot and stir until thickened and drop about half a cup into your dough. It does wonders for my very simple buns and also awesome to add to Snúðar (https://vallagrondal.is/snudar-betri-en-ur-bakariinu/) 🙂

The correct term is scalding. There are also different types of scalds which have widely different properties.

In german you call it Brühstück. You can also just pour boiling water over old bread or flour to achieve a similar effect.
