    Damn it takes me like 30min of straight kneading for a single loaf, your arms must have been wrecked after this!

    Here’s the recipe I used. This is for one loaf. The original recipe I started with came from Novita Listyani on Youtube. (Look her up, very informative) I’ve modified it slightly to try and get the most hydration and fats in the bread as I can. Im sitting at 80% hydration right now, I think it worked quite well.

    I make a Yudane, and Biga the day prior to mixing.

    Yudane:
    Bread Flour 77g
    Rice Flour 18g
    Water 137.5g

    Biga:
    Bread Flour 155g
    Yeast 1.2g
    Water 81g

    Everything goes into the final mix the next day. The butter is 6.8%, so I just mix it with everything at once. You could arguably mix it in after you develop the gluten.

    Bread Flour 137g
    Salt 7g
    Yeast 1g
    Sugar 24g
    Milk Powder 23.2g
    Yudane 233g (From day prior)
    Biga 237g (From day prior)
    Milk 60g
    Egg 52.7g
    Butter 26.3g
