Description
This is the best SHOKUPAN （Japanese Milk Bread）baking course for BEGINNERS who have no idea to bake bread.
SHOKUPAN is the most eaten bread in Japan, fluffy but bouncy and so moist.
You'll be surprised how tasty it is, and your kitchen will be full of wonderful baking smells.
In this course, you will first learn the basics of bread baking.
And also, you can learn a lot from the downloadable E-book "everything you need to know about SHOKUPAN."
Next, you'll move onto baking Beginner's SHOKUPAN.
It is going to be an easy one; it's at 66% hydration, which means not that sticky and pretty easy to handle.
Once you've learned a basic SHOKUPAN making process, you will be ready to move on to 72% hydration SHOKUPAN.
When you have finished this course, you will have the confidence to bake a perfect SHOKUPAN.
And also, you will be ready for more advanced bread baking.

In 2004, I opened my small pastry shop in Nara, the oldest palace city in Japan. ( known for wild dears walk freely around the city center.)
Aside from running my pastry shop, I used to teach at my baking class for more than 15 years.
I know exactly how and when students make mistakes from my long-term experiences.
In 2016, one of my friends asked me to give a Wagashi (Japanese sweets) lesson for international students in English.
Japan had grown as the fastest tourism country at that time.
I said YES, and I started learning English to watch YouTube cooking show 8 hours a day for a month.
I was an English major, and I worked for a multi-national company for seven years. But I teach only Japanese students, I had no vocabulary in Cooking.
The lesson went successfully, I felt relieved, but I felt something is missing.
I thought I don't want to waste my time learning English.
So I decided to start my own YouTube channel, "Kitchen Princess Bamboo."
Soon enough, my channel grows, and I became swamped. I had no time to run my pastry shop.
In March 2019, I transferred my pastry business to a social welfare association to develop the local community. (I am still in the business as a consultant.)
Now that I am spending my time developing recipes to make them simpler and more accessible for home bakers.
I want to share my experience and knowledge that I accumulate over the years.
And yes, you can learn how to bake the best Shokupan in the world in your own kitchen!
I upload a video every Saturday at 23:00 JST (PST 6:00, EST 10:00) on my channel, it's not always about baking, but it might help improve your baking skills.
