\n\u00a0Kelly, of A Messy Kitchen, was our Kitchen of the Month for February.\u00a0 Kelly challenged us to make Black Sesame Shokupan, using a different technique for making milk bread:\u00a0 yudane (yoo-dah-nay).\u00a0 You combine flour and boiling water and let it rest in the refrigerator overnight. The resulting bread is soft and tender and has a longer shelf life, although, to be honest, this type of bread doesn’t last very long.We had the choice of making a marbled bread using black sesame paste, or, a more traditional looking bread.\u00a0 I couldn’t resist the marbled bread!\u00a0 I bought a jar of black sesame paste (before the recipe had been added to Kelly’s post), which is a good thing because I need it for other bakes (orange-black sesame cookies, for one).\u00a0I had fun creating the marbled effect.\u00a0 The end result was glorious!\u00a0 Each slice shows a different pattern, and each slice is truly a work of art.\u00a0 I should have photographed each slice to show the progression (overkill maybe?).\u00a0 I was truly sad when the bread was gone.\u00a0 Definitely a bread I will make again.\u00a0 (Thinking of County Fair time this summer.)This was a terrific choice for our first 2024 challenge.\u00a0 Forgive the geological humor in the title, but I couldn’t resist.For the recipe, go to Kelly’s website.And, to see how the other Babe’s did, check out their websites as well.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
