+I made [Japanese Milk Bread Rolls][r] from King Arthur Baking for Thanksgiving.
+They were a big hit!
+
+{{< figures/image name=rolls >}}
+
+The weirdest part for most Western bakers is probably the tangzhong, but it's a
+pretty straight-forward roux, like you'd use to make gravy. The recipe has some
+good instructions on how to do it.
+
+The most difficult part -- at least for me -- is probably the shaping because of
+the coordination you need to turn the lump of dough in a circular motion on the
+counter between your fingers. It took me a little while to get that, but now it
+comes almost second nature.
+
+Totally recommend this one for holiday dinner!
