Invented in Japan, but apparently known in English most commonly by its Chinese name, tangzhong.
I think a Chinese person wrote an English-language cookbook using the word "tangzhong" and that popularised it.
My wife has used it in breadmaking.
You have to heat the flour and water very gently just to the point where it gelatinises.
Bread made with tangzhong has superior keeping qualities.
