Ingredients
Tangzhong (Milk Paste):
-
½ cup milk
-
4 teaspoons bread flour
Bread Dough:
-
½ cup milk
-
1 egg, beaten
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
2 ½ cups bread flour
-
2 teaspoons instant yeast
-
2 tablespoons superfine sugar, or more to taste
-
¼ cup butter, softened
Directions
-
Make the tangzhong by heating up milk in a small pot. Stir in bread flour until a thick paste forms. Pour paste into a medium bowl. Add 1/2 cup milk and beaten egg; mix well.
-
Place flour and yeast in a large mixing bowl. Mix with a spatula or by hand. Pour in tangzhong mixture. Stir well with a spatula until no dry spots remain. Gather dough in the middle of the bowl. Cover with a damp towel. Let rest for 20 minutes.
-
Add salt to the dough and knead until incorporated. Repeat with sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Knead until dough is smooth, about 10 minutes. Add butter; keep kneading until evenly incorporated and dough is smooth.
-
Form dough into a ball and place into a well oiled bowl. Turn dough to grease on all sides. Let proof at room temperature until doubled, about 1 hour.
-
Turn dough out onto a clean work surface and deflate it. Press gently into a rectangle; roll up into a cylinder and transfer to a loaf pan. Let loaf proof until doubled, about 1 hour.
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
-
Place loaf pan on the middle rack of the preheated oven and reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake until golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before inverting onto a cooling rack. Cool completely before slicing.
Cook's Note:
If you're making free-form rolls, bake for 14 to 15 minutes. If you're using a round cake pan, bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
