When I saw Victoria Bake's Chef Nishikawa’s 85% hydration sesame toast 西川功晃芝麻吐司, I know I have to try it. Although I like Artisan bread, I am also have weakness for soft fluffy bread. I have always wanted to try my hand at making Chocolate Wassant but somehow I never gotten to it. Now on hand, I have a super soft bread recipe and a chocolate wassant recipe, why don't I just marry both recipes? After all, these days, I need to bake or cook in small quantity as the kids do not have much time to snack at home and I hate to throw food away.  Verdict: The Chef Nishikawa’s 85% hydration's dough was really wet. I started off using the dough hook to knead and later on, I do it by hand. Was afraid that by the time the dough is ready, my mixer will be sick. Took me about 20 mins to pass the window pane test. The dough was still very sticky but I managed to gather it to form a ball and was praying that it will proof nicely. With a sunny day, the dough didn't give problem. As for the wassant, I used Do What I Like's method as she has a detailed pictorial description. I didn't do a good job. I position the final bun wrongly and thus the croissant style was not correct. Overall, this bread is very soft and fluffy and it tasted good as well. I am going to try again and work on my presentation. Source: Victoria Bakes and Do What I Like Thanks ladies!
