PRE-PREPARATION

Poolish Starter

  1. Mix the ingredients well and leave in room temperature for 180 minutes or in the fridge for 10 – 12 hours.

PREPARE THE DOUGH

  1. Place all the dough ingredients and 80g of poolish starter except for the salt into the mixer.
  2. Mix the ingredients for 1 minute on low speed and 5 minutes on medium speed.
  3. Add in the salt and mix till the dough is smooth.
  4. Place the dough into a bowl and let it rest till the dough double in size.

SHAPING

  1. Divide the dough into 3 pieces at approximately 180g each.
  2. Fold the candied yuzu peels into each dough and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  3. Shape 2 doughs into oblong and place them into each ingot mould or any preferred moulds.
  4. Shape and place the remaining dough on a tray.
  5. Let all 3 doughs rest for 25 – 30 minutes.
