--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                         For the Yukone:
   6             ounces  cold water -- (3/4 cup; 170g)
   2 1/2         ounces  bread flour -- (1/2 cup; 70g)
                         For the Dough:
   13 3/4        ounces  bread flour -- (2 3/4 cups; 380g)
      1/2         ounce  sugar -- (1 tablespoon; 15g)
   9              grams  kosher salt -- see directions
   1 1/2      teaspoons  instant dry yeast -- (6g)  such as SAF see directions
   6             ounces  cold water -- (3/4 cup; 170g)

Use 9g kosher or table salt. By volume, 2 1/2 tsp Diamond Crystal 
kosher salt or 1 1/4 tsp table salt.

Use instant dry yeast, not rapid rise or active dry yeast

See the website for many photos and background. Yukone is a Japanese 
technique utilizing pre-gelatinized starch in the dough. Technical 
paper (in English):

For the Yukone: In a 2-quart stainless steel saucier or 10-inch 
skillet, combine water and flour. Cook over medium heat, whisking 
constantly, until mixture comes together in a thick, mashed 
potato-like paste, about 2 minutes. Scrape onto a plate, spread into 
a 1-inch layer, and cool until no warmer than 100F (38C), about 20 minutes.

For the Dough: Pulse flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in a food 
processor fitted with a metal blade. Once combined, add cooled yukone 
and water. Process until dough is smooth, about 90 seconds.

Transfer to a lightly greased bowl (the dough will be slightly warm 
and incredibly sticky), cover with plastic, and refrigerate until 
roughly doubled in bulk, between 60 and 90 minutes depending on 
temperature of yukone.

Turn dough onto a clean, un-floured surface, but do not deflate. Cut 
into 12 roughly equal portions (2 1/4 ounces or 60g each), cupping 
each beneath your palm and working in quick circular motions to form 
a smooth ball. Arrange on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, 
cover with plastic, and refrigerate overnight until puffy and soft, 
between 8 and 10 hours.

To Finish: Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat to 
400F (200C). Fill a deep pot with about 3 inches of water and bring 
to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, line a baking sheet or cutting 
board with a thick layer of paper towels. Cut parchment between each 
roll with a pair of scissors. Working with 4 dough pieces at a time, 
use parchment to lift and drop rolls into boiling water so that they 
are upside down. Boil exactly 60 seconds, then flip right side up 
with a slotted spoon (so the bottoms can skin over) and transfer to 
paper towels. (Along the way, the parchment squares can be gently 
tugged free or allowed to slip off on their own.)

Arrange rolls on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet; these can be 
baked immediately or left at room temperature up to 4 hours. Bake 
until blistered and golden brown all over, about 35 minutes.

Rolls can be served immediately or held at room temperature for up to 
6 hours. Reheat in a hot oven for 5 to 10 minutes before serving if 
rolls have cooled and you prefer them hot.

With two long, slow rises, this recipe lets you knock out the work 
(and cleanup) of making and shaping the rolls a day in advance. After 
boiling, the rolls can be baked immediately or held another 4 hours 
at room temperature to better suit your schedule.
