It's good to know, I use my rice cooker for cooking other things didn't know it bakes as well. It's always good to know an alternate just in case something breaks down. Thanks!
I have managed to make cakes in the rice cooker but I haven't tried bread yet. I will try your recipe. Thank you. I've subscribed, you have lovely recipes. Hello from Sicily!
I have a pressure cooker and nt those electric ones. To use a pressure cooker, you have to put water in it (just until the bottom of a dry bowl submerges in it) and put the stuff we need to cook in a dry bowl. The bowl goes into the cooker, you put the lid on, and there is this little steam balancing cap on top. (You can google how to use a pressure cooker, I know I'm not clear) Will it work for this recipe? Thanks!
@aditi1998 Did you try baking bread in your pressure cooker? I'm guessing it would keep it from rising due to the extra atmosphere it generates, but I'm curious how it turned out.
@eventualdave I didn't try baking bread at all! But maybe the cake would fall apart or form into a gluggy paste or something because of all that moisture inside the cooker.
Rice cookers are so versatile. I've done this before, though I didn't make an enriched bread like this. I made a more simple sour dough. No milk, butter, margarine, etc. Just flour, water, salt, and a wild yeast.
@BLUE2EMO Just the regular white rice option should be good. but you have to keep an eye on it. when it auto turns itself off after its run cycle you have to turn it back on manually.
please understand the cultural differences between asian countries and america. in most asian countries, an oven is not a standard item that comes with everyhouse. thus making it necessary to use alternatives to bake a cake (rice cooker). in usa, every house comes with an oven which make it seem strange to most americans to use a rice cooker for baking.
well this is also weird for some asian countries since a rice cooker can only reach up to 110 degrees asians also think this is weird but for those that don't focus on common sense 100% entirely this idea pop up
@secretkid90 baked bread is not very popular in most asian families because the high heat it requires. what is most popular in asian families is stemad bread which only need a wok and a steamer.
That's right.Rice cooker is for cooking rice and oven is for baking breads etc. Plz use the correct equipment. I am wondering how much was your electricity bill when u "baked" this bread lol
@h0lyben No offense meant, but 5 hours is NOTHING when you're talking bread. It may seem like quite a long time, but those loaves you buy at the grocers from large-scale commercial bakeries are awful. They won't kill you, but that's about it. The reason for the poor quality is that much of the flavor in bread comes from the yeast interacting with the sugars in the bread dough. The longer the it 'rises' the interaction. You'll get more flavorful and fluffier bread. You WON'T be disappointed!
@mdjose Most people in america are ignoramuses too full of themselves. Their pea-sized brains cannot fathom anything outside of the pthetically little they know about useless things, most of them being seriously destructive
@aparaajita10 Excuse me. Generalizations of any culture = wrong. More than that, they're inaccurate. The idea of not having an oven is strange to a lot of people in America because you really won't find a house without them. So please, stuff your cultural superiority some place else.
@TisiphoneSeraph I dunno what ur problem is, for had u read any of the comments u would know that my comment is true. I don't have 2 stuff anything...u empty headed amreekaans with peanuts for brains need to stop calling ur ignorance, stupidity & pride their of "culture" & with all the ovens all over the place u folks still claim that the oven makes a berad in 10 minutes?
In the anime, it's said to be really fluffy. His bred turned out orange cos' he used orange juice instead of milk. I tried making one just a while ago. It's fermenting now, but I think I got the wrong flour, since it was a pain to knead. I had to put in more and more flour just so it won't sludge about.
I've just recently started reading Yakitate!! JaPan. I'm on chapter 140, and love it. I found your site as I was looking for how to make JaPan #2, and saw that all of your videos are actually related to baking bread. I'm definitely going to use these recipes. Thanks for all the great videos, and keep up the good work. ^_^
I learned how to make JaPan#2 from watching the anime. ^o^ It's one of the more odd breads I've made but also one of the most simple I've ever made. it's my third favorite bread.

this is pretty much more delicious than an american standard bread. I tried this already.
Rice cooker is for rice and oven is for bread, its common sense and that's your point of view, but for a baker, its much more than that.
Bakers usually experiments with other equipments if they want to make a new kind of bread, like this rice cooker.
Yakitate Japan! Actually shows HOW to experiment with other ingredients and utensils to make bread.
