Cloud Toast (Sourdough Shokupan) | 云朵生吐司 | Sourlotti

If you've tried a lot of sandwich loaf recipes but still feeling mehh, try this one. Its the only sandwich loaf recipe you ever need at home! One of the unique characteristics of this Cloud Toast is involving an interesting technique called Sweet Stiff Levain. It's the part of the secret that resulting an exceptionally fluffy interior and a distinct soft crust, as well as eliminating the tangness from the bread (no sour). This sourdough shokupan is coined after Cloud and Toast simply because this bread is absolutely delicious on its own, notoriously creamy and fluffy that is lightly-enriched but not too sweet as daily bread. It boasts a smooth, springy and marshmallowy texture like wrapping around cloud. Much softer and airier than a regular white loaf!
