Print Recipe

Fluffy and soft Japanese Milk Bread Rolls with a slightly sweet and tender crumb, perfect for sandwiches or enjoyed fresh with butter.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp dry milk powder
  • 2 tsp instant yeast
  • 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine bread flour, sugar, salt, dry milk powder, and instant yeast.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together warmed milk, heavy cream, and egg.
  3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix to form a dough.
  4. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  5. Add softened butter and continue kneading until fully incorporated and the dough is glossy.
  6. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
  7. Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Shape each into a smooth ball.
  8. Place the dough balls in a greased baking pan, cover, and let them rise for another 45 minutes.
  9. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  10. Brush the tops of the rolls with milk or egg wash for a shiny finish.
  11. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
  12. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

For an extra soft crust, brush the rolls with melted butter immediately after baking.
