The flavours and techniques of the Japanese kitchen are our inspiration for this newest class with baking pro Larry Harris. Shokupan is a deliciously light and fluffy Japanese milk bread, that stays fresh for longer than French or Italian milk breads because of the Yudane method of combining bread flour with boiling water to gelatinise its starch. The night before your class you'll combine your flour and boiling water. Then during the class you'll prepare your yeasted dough together with Larry before taking a one-hour coffee break while it rises. Our class will reconvene so you can divide and shape your dough, then give it a second rise before baking it off. And as an extra treat, between rising and baking times you'll learn to make Larry's Japanese inspired Green Tea Madeleines too! We encourage you to join us again on Wednesday April 27th for Mai Nguyen's class on Katsu Sandos, since they're made with Shokupan bread!
