Vanilla Bean Bread with Tang Zhong Starter

This is why I'm not a baker. Thank God this recipe was so very forgiving. I just found where I put my notes for this. One of my flaws is that I cook and write at the same time. I don't write a title, I write ingredients and measurements. It gets confusing all my scrap papers.  I did blog the Tang Zhong starter.  I used a recipe much like this recipe as a base, but I was tired and it all went down hill from there. Put everything... and I mean everything *groan* in the bread machine on the dough cycle then I shaped the dough after. The reason I groan is because I remember it was so late at night and I was tired. I put everything in the bread machine then read that the butter was supposed to be brushed on top. I also over poured into my bowl on the scale a few times. I was crazy tired.

Let rise for 30 minutes. Brush with butter.

Baked at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes. Tap the top to see if it sounds done. I don't know how I know, it just is. (Hallow sounding.) Which is shocking since it's baking and I'm not a great baker.
