Let the dough rise slowly with a small amount of yeast. If you have time but think natural yeast is too much trouble, this recipe is for you! You'll love the texture and flavor.
Background of this recipe:
I used to dislike the strong smell of yeast. When I bought a bread machine, I researched many recipes in specialty magazines, but they all called for 2–4g of dry yeast. Natural yeast seemed too complicated. Then I discovered a book that used the natural yeast setting on the bread machine, and it changed everything! It was a revelation!

Steps

1

Add the ingredients to the bread machine pan in the order listed above. Make sure the salt and dry yeast do not touch each other when adding them. Be sure to read the tips!
2

Bake using the natural yeast setting on your bread machine. This usually takes about 7 hours. Adjust the baking time to your preference—the bread in the photo was removed 5 minutes early.
3

I tested 40 different recipe variations! I kept notes each time and finally arrived at this one. The simpler the recipe, the harder it is to perfect!
4

This is a fragrant, natural bread that's perfect for a refreshing morning. Enjoy it with plenty of café au lait!
5

This recipe has become popular again after a long time! Thank you to Hazuki8 and the other 10 people who tried it!

From Kenken's mom: Here's a cocoa version! Use 235g (about 1 7/8 cups) bread flour and 15g (about 3 tablespoons) cocoa powder for a delicious twist. Thanks for the variation!
7

From Ageha: Try this variation—170g (about 2/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon) water, 20g (about 1 1/2 tablespoons) sugar, and 35g (about 2 1/2 tablespoons) sweetened condensed milk. I baked it too, and it turned out super milky!
