Tangzhong Potato and Rosemary Daisy

Profile picture for user yozzause

i was inspired to have a go at sweet potato brioche using Tangzhong after seeing  tortie-tabby's post and added my rendition to his post, i was very pleased with that result and decided upon another crack at a brioche this time it would be Potato and Rosemary a pleasant combination that i have enjoyed in the past.

I was so happy with the last brioche bake using the Tangzhong method that i thought i would have another dash at it , this time Potato and Rosemary Brioche.

SIP Bakes getting better

SIP (shelter in place) causes me to very regularly make SIP (Sourdough In Place). All this possible thanks to my local baker "The Midwife and the Baker" which sells high quality bread flour and hard white and hard red wheat flour (nothing to be had for even typical low quality store flours in any store for weeks).

Practice makes perfect, and they're turning out better each time.

Help! My croissants are cakey and wet inside without layers.

Toast

Ive tried 3, 4 times to make croissants, still fails after changing multiple way of making it, in needs of some suggestion for my failed experience, my husband couldn't believe how hard it is, because every bakery sells them, so if they are really so hard to make, then crossants will be a delicacy can sell hundreds for one, which I refuse to believe!

This is the recipe for my dough

1kg flour

150g Sugar

20g salt

20g milk powder

100g butter

2 eggs

50g yeast

450g water/milk

Very slowly trying to make progress on baguettes.

Besides the excellent advice of alfanso, I have found Hamelman's video on baguette shaping helpful. Practicing these has made me a lot more aware of the benefits of a good preshape.
