Fluffy Japanese Milk Bread

Cultural Context

Fluffy Japanese Milk Bread, or Shokupan, has its roots in Japan's adaptation of Western bread-making techniques during the Meiji era. This soft, slightly sweet bread is a staple in Japanese households, often enjoyed as toast or in sandwiches. Its airy texture and rich flavor make it a beloved comfort food, and it has gained popularity worldwide, inspiring bakers to experiment with its unique texture and taste.

3g dry yeast
180g milk (body temperature)
35g sweetened condensed milk
20g butter

bread flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is dairy-free and provides healthy fats.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories; water is more economical.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey offers natural sweetness with a unique flavor.

1

Add bread flour, sugar, salt, dry yeast, milk, and sweetened condensed milk to a bowl and mix well.

2

Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

3

After mixing well, transfer to a surface and knead for about 7-8 minutes.

4

Once the dough is somewhat smooth, incorporate the butter and knead for an additional 10-15 minutes.

5

When the dough forms a thin membrane, shape it into a ball, place it in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise until doubled in size (about 45 minutes at 30°C).

6

Punch down the dough, divide it into 16 pieces, and shape them into balls with the cut side facing inward. Let them rest for 15 minutes.

7

Punch down the dough again and reshape it into smaller balls until they appear slightly white.

8

Arrange in a baking pan, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise until 1.5-2 times in size (about 50 minutes at 35°C). The dough should rise about 1 cm above the pan.

9

Dust with additional bread flour and bake in a preheated oven at 150°C for 18-20 minutes.
