I was reading about this Japanese bread making method of making bread soft and that it lasts longer.

You add some flour and water and cook it, cool it and add it to your recipe.

Just search for Tangzhong Roux and read up on it. I haven't tried this yet, but I love making homemade bread.

I went to the www.350degreeoven.com/2011/09/Japanese-hawaiian/japanese-milk-bread-tangzhong-or-water-roux-method/

She uses a breadmaker, but states you can make it with a stand mixer. In reading the comments, she also uses the dough to make cinnamon rolls, gotta try this out!!!

Another person uses this Roux method when making all of her bread recipes that uses all purpose or bread flour to make the bread softer and lasts longer.
