Fluffy Milk Bread Loaf
Introduction
Fluffy milk bread, also known as Hokkaido milk bread, is a soft, tender loaf beloved for its pillowy texture and slightly sweet flavor.
This bread is made using the tangzhong method, a simple technique that involves cooking a portion of the flour and liquid into a paste before incorporating it into the dough.
This method locks in moisture, resulting in an incredibly soft bread that stays fresh longer.
Perfect for sandwiches, toast, or simply enjoying on its own, milk bread is a versatile addition to any meal.
With its rich flavor and beautiful golden crust, it’s a crowd-pleaser that’s worth the time and effort to make at home.
Once you try it, you’ll understand why it’s so cherished in many kitchens worldwide.
