"Japanese Milk" Bread

The softest Japanese milk bread made with milk, cream and milk powder. Shaped from four rolls, giving a fluffy 'pull-apart' texture inside.
Prep Time 25 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Rising and proofing 2 hours 50 minutes
Total Time 3 hours 45 minutes
Servings: 1 loaf

Ingredients
  

  • 5 g dry yeast
  • 125 ml milk
  • 15 g milk powder
  • 400 g wheat flour
  • 75 ml cream 20%
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 egg

Method
 

  1. Warm the milk and cream on the stove until lukewarm.
  2. In a deep bowl, mix 300 grams of the flour with all the dry ingredients - milk powder, yeast and salt.
  3. Add the egg and the warm milk mixture. Knead the dough, gradually adding the remaining flour. Gather the dough into a ball and set in a warm place for 1.5 hours.
  4. Turn the risen dough onto a floured surface and divide into 4 equal parts. Cover with a towel and let rest for another 20 minutes.
  5. Roll out each piece into a rectangle the width of the pan and roll it up like a log. Place the rolls seam-side down, side by side, in a pan greased with vegetable oil. Let rise for another hour.
  6. Bake in an oven preheated to 175 °C for 30 minutes. Cool the finished bread on a rack - and enjoy. Bon appetit!

Notes

Shaping from four rolls gives that striking pull-apart texture with fluffy 'slices'.
