hokkaido milk bread

Learn how to easily make this Asian bakery style pork floss buns using tang zhong and autolyse method to make the softest fluffiest buns you will ever have.

Super Soft Meat/Pork Floss Milk Buns (Tang Zhong Method)

gr bread flour (5 tsp)

90 ml whole milk (6 Tbsp)

gr bread flour (2 cups + 2 Tbsp + 1 tsp)

gr instant yeast (1 1/2 tsp)

gr milk powder (1 1/2 tsp)

120 ml whole milk (1/2 cup, see notes)

egg (lightly beaten)

gr butter softened (3 Tbsp)

tsp salt

Tbsp sugar

egg beaten

water

Tbsp kewpie mayo (or you can use regular mayo too)

Tbsp condensed milk

pork floss (or other meat floss of your choice)

Tbsp Sesame seeds

seaweed

Place milk and the bread flour in a small saucepan. Whisk until there is no more lumps. Cook this mixture over medium heat until it is thickened, about 5 minutes or less. Remove from the heat and let it cools down completely

PREPARE TANG ZHONG:

Mix all the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in the wet ingredients and the tang zhong you made earlier. Use a dough hook attachment to knead the dough until all the crumbly dough starts to come together into one mass, it may take about 2-3 minutes for this to happen. Don't be tempted to add any liquid. You may need to stop halfway and scrap the dough off the hook and the sides of the bowl and knead again several times

Once it comes into a dough, stop the machine. The dough will not be smooth, don't worry.Cover the dough and let it rest for 20 minutes. This is an important rest that bakers refer to as an autolyse (though in our case it's a short one. Read my post above for detail)

After the rest, turn on and knead the dough again and knead for 1-2 minutes until it is a bit smoother. Then add the salt and sugar into the dough. Continue to knead until the dough is relatively smooth. You need to stop and scrape the dough off the hook and the bowl several times during this process. I promise it's worth the effort!

Once you have a smooth dough, turn the machine back on again to knead and gradually add in the softened butter a bit by a bit.  The dough will turn into a REAL sticky mess again because of the butter, just keep kneading and stop halfway and scrape the dough off the hook and bowl again and continue to knead until the butter is absorbed by the dough. IT WILL HAPPEN, don't worry! DO NOTbe tempted to add any extra flour. You will get a shiny smooth dough that is very elastic. I promise!

MAKE THE DOUGH:

Place this dough in a lightly oiled large bowl, cover it with a clean and damp tea cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise at a warm place for about 1 hour. It may not double in size, but it will puff up some for sure.

1ST PROOFING:

Punch the dough down, divide into 8 large balls

Pull and tuck the dough to form a smooth round ball or slightly oval (it's up to you) with the seams tucked underneath. Place the seam side down on a baking pan lined with parchment paper and repeat with the rest of the dough. Cover with a plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel

SHAPING:

Let the doughs proof again for another 30-40 minutes or until they puff up again to about 50% or more of their original size. Brush the top of the dough with egg wash

2ND PROOFING:

Preheat oven to 350 F (177 C) and pop it into the oven (3rd rack from the top) and let them bake for the next 20-30 minutes depending on the oven, mine took 20 minutes. It will be golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let it cool down in the pan for about 5 minutes and then let them cool completely on a cooling rack

BAKING:

Mix kewpie mayo and condensed milk in a bowl. Stir to mix. Yes, that&#039;s all you need to do. On another bowl, combine the pork floss, sesame seeds, and roasted seaweed strips

PREPARE TOPPING:

Once the buns have cooled down, brush the top of the bun with the mayo sauce mixture you make above. If you plan to serve 5 buns, then dress 5 of them. Don't dress all of them ahead of time and keep for the next day or so as things will get soggy&nbsp;

Gently press the bun (the side with the mayo sauce) into the floss mixture. Repeat with the next buns and serve

DRESS WITH TOPPING:

How to Make Shokupan with All Purpose Flour - Fluffy Japanese Milk Bread

Sourdough  version of Hokkaido Milk Bread is incredibly soft and airy bread made with a simple technique involving a roux “starter,” known as tangzhong.

Sourdough Hokkaido Bread

For the Tangzhong Flour-Water Roux

Bread flour

milk

Levain

bread flour

whole wheat flour

g Active Sourdough Starter (I used 100% sourdough starter)

For The Dough:

flour bread flour

salt

powdered milk

57 milk and a little more if needed

heavy whipping cream 25% fat

150 g levain

/32 gramsm unsalted butter

Leavain

Add  both whole wheat flour, bread flour and starter for levain and set aside for 6 hours.

The Tangzhong (Flour-Water Roux):

In a medium saucepan whisk together lightly the flour, water and milk in a saucepan until smooth and there are no lumps. Place the saucepan on the stove, and over medium heat, let the roux cook till it starts thickening. Keep stirring/ whisking constantly so no lumps form and the roux is smooth.

If you have a thermometer, cook the roux/ tangzhong till it reaches 65C (150F) and take it off the heat. If you do not have a thermometer, then watch the roux/ tangzhong until you start seeing “lines” forming in the roux/ tangzhong as you whisk/ stir it. Take the pan off the heat at this point.

Let the roux/ tangzhong cool completely and rest for about 2 to 3 hours at least. If not using immediately, transfer the roux to a bowl and cover using plastic wrap. It can be stored in the refrigerator until the color changes . Discard the tangzhong after that.

Dough:

In a bowl of kitchenaid stand mixer add bread flour, salt, sugar, and milk powder and set aside.

In a microwave safe bowl heat milk, whipping cream and butter for about 30  seconds  and set aside.

Kitchenaid stand mixer fitted with dough attachment mix in, tangzhong mixture, milk-cream-butter and starter into flour mixture and knead until it become soft and sticky for about 15 minutes on medium speed (3-4) . Once the dough starts leaves the side and knead with hand for about 3 more minutes or until when you pull the dough it will spread without tearing, means it passes window pan test.

Remove the dough and place it into well oil pan bowl for doubling. Cover with plastic wrap and a towel, and let the dough rise for about 12 hours or till almost double in volume in room temperature.

Place the dough on your working surface. About 823g dough divide into 4 equal pieces of 206g. You do not need flour to work or shape this dough.

Roll out each portion of the dough with a rolling pin into an oval shape, about 1/8” thick. Take one end of the dough from the shorter side of the oval and fold it to the middle of the oval. Take the other end and fold so it slightly overlaps the other fold.

Roll this folded dough with the rolling pin so the unfolded edges are stretched out to form a rectangle. Roll the rectangle from one short edge to the other, pinching the edges to seal well. Do this with each of the four larger pieces and place them, sealed edges down, in a well-buttered loaf tin. Cover with a towel and leave the dough to rise for about 2-4 hours.

Carefully brush the tops of the dough with egg wash and bake at 350F for about 45 minutes  or it registers an internal temperature of 190-200 F. If the top starts browning earlier, tent the loaf tin with foil to prevent extra burning. Let them cool in the tins for about 5 minutes and then unmold and transfer to a rack till slightly warm or cool.

Sourdough Hokkaido Milk Bread

Try this milk bread recipe for the softest, fluffiest homemade milk bread! Also known as Japanese milk bread, Hokkaido milk bread, or shokupan.

Soft and Fluffy Japanese Milk Bread

butter

sea salt

dry yeast

1¼ teaspoon dough enhancer ((optional) see Note 1)

Mix: Attach the dough hook to your stand mixer. Add all the ingredients except the butter. Mix on low until there&#39;s no more dry flour. Then add the butter and beat on high speed. The dough is ready when it forms into a ball and the surface is smooth and glossy. Check for proper gluten develop using the window pane test (See Note 2). Timing will vary but it took me 10 to 13 minutes.

Proof

Proof: Form the dough into a smooth round ball and place into a see through  proofing container that&#39;s been coated with oil. Proof until doubled in size in a warm, humid environment. See Note 3.

Bench rest

Bench rest: On a well floured surface, divide the dough into 6 even pieces and roll each into a ball. Loosely cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Shape

Shape: Roll each ball into an oval shape. Flip it over so the surface (crust) is on the bottom and do a letter fold (2 folds). Then roll it up to form a spiral and then pinch the seam closed. Place three spirals in each 1 lb loaf pan. Repeat for the other pieces (See step by step photos in recipe post above).

Final proof

Final proof: Proof in a warm humid place until doubled in size or it&#39;s 1 cm below the rim of the loaf pan. Preheat your oven to 356° F.

Bake

Bake: Bake at 356° F for 25 minutes or until it gets a golden brown crust. For a shiny, golden crust: Immediately after removing from the oven, brush on an egg wash coating for a shiny crust. Crack an egg in a small bowl and mix well. Using a pastry brush, apply a thin coating to the crust. The heat from the bread will cook the egg, giving you a shiny golden crust.

Learn how to make the softest fluffiest milk bread using tangzhong and autolyse methods. A bread that you can just tear layer by layer.

How To Make Soft and Fluffy Hokkaido Milk Bread (Tangzhong and Autolyse Method)

gr bread flour (2 1/2 cups)

gr milk powder (2 Tbsp)

gr craisins (optional, or other things like mini chocolate chips morsels)

120 ml whole milk (1/2 cup)

gr butter (3 Tbsp, softened)

Tbsp sugar (see notes)

egg (beaten)

Sesame seeds (for sprinkling (optional))

Almond (Thinly sliced)

Place milk and the bread flour in a small saucepan. Whisk until there is no more lumps. Cook this mixture over medium heat until it is thickened, about 5 minutes or less. Remove from the heat and let it cool down completely

Prepare tang zhong:

Mix all the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in the wet ingredients and the tang zhong you made earlier. Use a dough hook attachment to knead the dough on speed 2 until all the crumbly dough starts to come together into one mass, it may take about 2-3 minutes for this to happen. Don&#39;t be tempted to add any liquid. You may need to stop halfway and scrape the dough off the hook and the sides of the bowl and knead again several times 

After the rest, turn on and knead the dough again on speed 2 and knead for 1-2 minutes until it is a bit smoother. Then add the salt and sugar into the dough. Continue to knead until the dough is relatively smooth. You need to stop and scrape the dough off the hook and the bowl several times during this process. I promise it&#39;s worth the effort!

Once you have a smooth dough, turn the machine back on again to knead and increase speed to 4. Gradually add in the softened butter a bit by a bit.  The dough will turn into a REAL sticky mess again because of the butter, just keep kneading and stop halfway and scrape the dough off the hook and bowl again and continue to knead until the butter is absorbed by the dough. IT WILL HAPPEN, don&#39;t worry! DO NOT be tempted to add any extra flour. You will get a shiny smooth dough that is very elastic. This may take about 10-15 minutes. The dough must pass a windowpane test, meaning, when you stretch a small amount of dough thinly, it won&#39;t break and a light can pass through

Make the dough:

Place this dough in a lightly oiled large bowl, cover it with a clean and damp tea cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise at a warm place for about 1 hour. It may not double in size, but it will puff up some for sure.&nbsp;

1st proofing:

Lightly oil your loaf pan and line your loaf pan with parchment paper with side overhanging (easier to pull the bread out later). Punch the dough down, separate it into 3 equal size balls. Cover these doughs loosely with plastic wrap and let them rest for 15 minutes. Make sure you don&#039;t skip this part of resting the dough before shaping

Roll each ball out into a rectangle shape (don't have to be exact). Fold the two long sides up and then roll it from the bottom to top. Place the seam side down in the loaf pan and repeat with the other 2 doughs. Place them next to each other. Cover with a plastic wrap

If you don&#039;t plan to bake on the same day, you can also put this shaped dough in the fridge to let the 2nd proofing happen overnight in the fridge. The next day just bring it out to let it comes to room temperature before baking

Shaping:

If youare going to bake on the same day, let the dough proof again for another 40 minutes or until they fill up the loaf pan. Brush the top of the dough with egg wash

Sprinkle with some white sesame seeds or other seeds of your choice if you like

2nd proofing:

Preheat oven to 350 F and pop it into the oven (3rd rack from the top) and let it bake for the next 30-40 minutes depending on the oven, mine took 30 minutes. It will be golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let it cool down in the pan for about 5 minutes and then lift the bread out and let it cool completely on a cooling rack. Enjoy and once it&#039;s cooled down completely, wrap it up with plastic wrap and it&#039;s good for about 3 days or so (it didn&#039;t last that long in our house)
