YJ is about bread making and the focus is on a young boy named Azuma Kazuma, who has a dream of making Japan (pronounced jar-PARN) - a bread the ( Read more... )

hmm i have some eps of YJ on a disc that gloom gave me somewhere. i think i watched the opening titles last time and got weirded out so i didn't watch anymore, but i should give it enough go. ^^ good luck with your bread making!

danke.. just bought 10kgs of bread flour!

Er... what's the difference between regular flour and "bread flour"?

nandyssy June 6 2005, 20:59:54 UTC

hm.. the primary difference is protein content - bread (or bakers) flour has more than regular flour. the high protein content helps gluten form, and helps the dough rise. the amount of gluten is important because it influences the shape and texture of baked bread. bakers flour is often used when making pizzas

When I was reading the manga (haven't gotten around to the anime yet ^^;;) I had the urge to eat bread and make it as well. That weekend, I ran out to Baker's Delight 3-4 times. T___T

lucky it's not convenient for me to pop out and buy stuff, else i would be doing that too! XD baker's delight is quite delightful though =D

I've never understood the Japanese fascination with bread. And they do weird things to it, too. "Curry bread"? "Apple bread"? I'm not talkin' just putting stuff on top, either.

Scratch that; it's not just bread. A lot of people consider France the most culinarily (is that a word?) obsessed nation, but no Frenchman would ever have thought up Iron Chef.

I love the "Ja-pan" pun though. Always been a sucker for awful puns, espicially bilingual ones.

nandyssy June 7 2005, 02:11:31 UTC

ja-pan pun is cool =D don't forget pineapple bread and pineapple buns d=
in one of the episodes you see a Brad Pitt lookalike in various situations, it's hilarious XD i can't belive they drew him

man i'm full from eating bread..
