I’ve always been a fan of the fluffernutter sandwich. The richness of peanut butter topped with the lightness of marshmallow fluff. But I’ve also always wanted to try to take this goofy after school snack and make as sophisticated of a version of it as possible.
Japanese milkbread. Spicy gokujang peanut butter. Strawberry toasted marshmallow fluff.
What went well: 🥪 The inside of the sandwich for the most part. I think I nailed that peanut butter, getting that perfect balance of salty, sweet, and spicy with the crisp texture I like. The marshmallow fluff and strawberry dust also came together really well and torching it went as I hoped it would.
What didn’t: 🥪 The bread. Bread is hard when you have a life prone to interruptions. I had to try and rescue overproofed dough and baked under time pressure. The result was way too dense for milkbread. Later used the rest of the PB & Fluff on store bought brioche which was way better.
