My interpretation of Shokufan bread, the Japanese interpretation of american wonderbread, which was an interpretation of european luxury breads. This recipe works for one breadpan, you can easily double the ingredients to bake two.

“ Butter Thieves” my grandmother used to call these light and fluffy slices because they took the same amount of butter as hearty heavy farmbread slices, and us kids ate more slices so she needed more butter.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
