Made from Strawberry♡

First baking in 2017 was..Sweet beans bread by strawberry natural yeast!!

We Japanese call this bread “Anpan”.

“Anpan” is a very typical japanese bread.

“An” means sweet beans( sometimes it is paste) and “Pan” means bread in Japanese.

According to my husband who had lived in US before,most of American doesn't like sweet beans.

“Is it so?!” When I heard that story,I was so surprised.

Because sweet beans paste and the sweets which is made with these beans is 

a kind of taste of  Japanese soul,I think. 

So I like sweet beans of course and I had never thought 

there are person who doesn't like sweet beans..I thought no one do like it..

But anyway,I made Anpan for my first baking in this year!!

Using natural yeast from strawberry made in the Philippines:9

I put some strawberries and water into a bottle and made natural yeast:)

This yeast smells so strawberry!

I feel like spring has come♡♡

This liquid is coloured natural red.

I brought some cherry blossoms petal from Japan.

I put this petals on the top of bread:)

Since this petal is a bit salty,the combination of sweetness and saltiness is

superbu !!!

The reason why I tried to make natural yeast from strawberry was..

the strawberry in the Philippines are not so good.

They are hard and not so sweet..totally different from Japanese ones.

So normally I don't feel I want to eat strawberry in here.

BUT

Now I found a worth for these poor strawberries!!

It is not bad for making natural yeast!!

Smells sweet and nice!

It is actually really tasty! You should try! ha;9
