This bear pan might be a little bit new to us. Usually, we make bread in a rectangular loaf pan, or make whatever shapes we like with our bare hands. This bear loaf pan bakes in a tube with a bear shape in cross section. Pretty neat right?
Recipe is in Japanese, here's a quick translation:
Ingredients:
Bread flour 200g
Sugar 12g
