This Asian milk bread or Japanese Hokkaido milk bread will be the fluffiest bread you will ever have. It has a secret weapon ingredient that keeps it soft for days. It will without a doubt, become your favorite go-to bread recipe!
Whenever I make Soft Asian milk bread and post pictures of it on Instagram, I always get comments about how gorgeous and delicious my bakes look.
I think this is in part due to the tendency for people to think that yeast breads are difficult to make but they really aren’t once you get the hang of it!
I completely understand the intimidating factor that comes with baking bread though because I used to feel the same way. I hate to sound like a cliche but, practice makes perfect.
To be honest I had to make this loaf five times before I finally got it right. Although I was quite content with that version of the recipe, I always think that there’s room for improvement. I have grown so much as a baker since then.
Unlike most yeast bread recipes, Asian yeast breads usually require the use of a roux. The roux is made out of water and flour and it helps keep the bread nice and moist for days after the initial bake. It’s quite amazing really and adding it to your bread dough will change your life.
Especially if you’re a huge fan of fluffy bread like me (I’m the kind of person who would hollow out a baguette) 😛
As a matter of fact, this has become my go to yeast bread dough for all my bread related bakes and depending on what type of bread I’m making, I just tailor it accordingly by adding in dried fruit, nuts, herbs or whatever I fancy.
That’s the amazing thing about neutral yeast doughs, you can do anything you do so desire with it and all you need is a passion for baking, patience for the rising time, and inspiration to create!
