White Toast Bread (Utane starter / Water roux starter)

I always want to make white bread like those bought from store, but are not success until I read about Utane starter (Water roux starter). The freshness of the bread last for a few days, all it need is to reheat in the microwave for 20 minutes.

What is Utane Bread?

Utane is a unique Japanese Baking technique. Utane Bread is especially soft, and can stay fresh longer than other store bought bread. Utane method is to mix dough into warm water (65 to 70 degree) to bring out the gelatinization of starch in flour and then the wheat scent can be completely released. The dough will then be cool in the fridge for several hours. Utane Starter is ready for used. When the dough is heated, the water and flour absorbed the moisture which allows the bread to remain hydrated. This made Utane Bread soft and fluffy, and can stay fresh for many days.
