Japanese milk bread (Shokupan)
3/15/26 I'm soooo late to last week's party, I know, but I was curious after the naan party yesterday. THIS BREAD IS DELICIOUS! And I cut smack into the middle of it while it was piping hot, too, bc that's how I roll, contrary to the excellently written instructions telling me not to. Yup! Thank goodness my bread knife is super-sharp! And I did so only after knowing the internal temp was on point (via a meat thermometer no less). Brushed the top w melted unsalted Irish butter. Used that for the dough, too. Less water content in it than domestic butter. Subbed 21g of fresh yeast bc that's what I had it on hand (and it worked yesterday in the naan recipe, also excellent). My first Tangzhong! And I didn't whisk it 'cause I'm a lazy girl! I didn't see any chunks in it. And it didn't matter. TY for the fantastic instructions, the rolling the dough video tutorial, and a very tasty bread! Have I mentioned my admiration for this $35 scale from Amazon? Game changer! Don't sleep on it. Holds 100 pounds. I put my 3qt pot right on it to measure. No problem.
