100% all-purpose flour tangzhong · Baked flat, on hold
I tried all-purpose flour throughout, thinking it might improve next-day tenderness. The dough was extremely sticky and difficult to hand-knead.
I used oil on my hands and work surface instead of adding lots of flour. The rolls baked flat. For now, this version is on hold. The bread-flour tangzhong batch already gave me a better-known result.
