Crimped Loaf Bread (Tang Zhong Method)

A Perfect Round Crimped Loaf
Texture of bread































After coming across a blog site of one of the bloggers regarding this forgotten style of bread, I went around looking for the mould. I managed to get one (in fact it was the only one on the shelf) and it wasn't in perfect condition but I bought it anyway, as I don't have time sourcing for it, what I need to do is just to tighten and bend a few loose and jagged corners. I followed my normal recipe for wholemeal bread by tang zhong method for my first trial, it turn out pretty well and very soft, the only snag was it did not come out a full round crimped loaf and the reason was, which I found out later....the quantity of my flour was not sufficient. I made a second attempt, following the exact measurement from the blogger with addition of tang zhong and the result was perfect.
