Saw CC posted her experience with this recipe using Herman starter and I was game to try too.
Findings: I am not sure whether it is due to my starter but I had problem getting the volume for the 1st proofing. Since it was late, I left it in the fridge to proof overnight.
It did not double in volume when it was in the fridge as well so I thought I might as well complete the process. If it failed, it will goes into the bin.
Surprisingly, after let it out to proof in the microwave oven with a hot towel, my bread finally awake and rose nicely. This is seriously a slooow ferment day but I am happy that my patience paid off.
Thanks to CC for giving me the assurance last night too.
The texture is really nice and soft. Totally love it.
Now I don't have to clank up the oven on this hot day to enjoy a nice fluffy bun.
Definitely a keeper!
