This Milk Bread recipe has been one in every of my prime hottest recipes ever since I shared it on my weblog a few years in the past. This bread originates in Japan and so it’s typically known as Japanese Milk Bread or Hokkaido Milk Bread nevertheless it’s now turn out to be so well-liked in lots of Asian nations together with Korea. In Korea, it’s known as Uyu Sikppang 우유식빵. Uyu means milk in Korean and is unquestionably an enormous a part of Korean delicacies as Koreans simply love this bread.

I’ve been requested a couple of occasions by many readers if one might make the milk bread within the bread machine and I wasn’t certain as a result of I didn’t have a bread machine again then. 😝 So I purchased one final yr saying I used to be going to develop a recipe however simply by no means obtained round to it till now.

NOTE – Each bread machine is completely different and your machine might not actually have a customized programming characteristic. Sadly, I can’t create a recipe that works for all machines and you could have to determine what you are able to do together with your machine. However please don’t hesitate to ask questions on my FB web page or in my FB group and we will attempt to clear up it collectively.

How is milk bread completely different from different breads?

1. Milk bread is extra moist, buttery, very barely candy and VERY mild. It additionally makes use of a starter known as Tangzhong which permits the bread to carry extra moisture than the widespread bread recipe and thus you should have a extra moist bread. You will get round this by utilizing dry milk powder in the event you don’t wish to undergo the additional step of constructing the starter.

2. In between steps of rising, you roll the dough leading to a bread that has a feathery and stringy texture. By no means crumbly as most sandwich breads are. So due to that, this bread works properly as toasts or for PB&J sandwiches or egg salad sandwiches.

BTW, right here’s a fast video of how fluffy and superb the bread is – contemporary out of the breadmaker!

Baking Milk Bread in Bread Machine

The machine I exploit is Zojirushi Dwelling Bakery Supreme Breadmaker BB-CEC20. I selected this machine as a result of it has customizable capabilities for kneading, rise and baking. Additionally a 2 lb loaf capability plus nice evaluations! For those who want one, you should buy it from my amazon retailer HERE. (FYI, I make a small fee in the event you purchase, thanks!)

There are some things which might be completely different when baking milk bread within the bread machine –

• Add WET substances -> then DRY substances on prime of the liquid when including substances within the pan. Not a should for all machines however this ensures essentially the most profitable end result.

• As a result of every bread machine is completely different, you could have to regulate the recipe to your state of affairs. You want 3 cycles for this recipe. For those who don’t have customized rise or dough functionality, I recommend you make the dough and do rising in your counter or in your oven – simply comply with my authentic milk bread recipe HERE. After which simply bake in your breadmaker.
• Totally different baking pan sizes – bread machines have completely different sizes and styles in order that’s one other factor you’ll have to take into consideration. Only for reference a pullman loaf pan is about 7.75″ x 4.25″ whereas my Zojirushi bread maker’s pan is 8.75″ x 5″. This recipe will bake properly in each of those sizes however after all, the bread will come out much less tall in wider pans. You probably have a taller however smaller 1 lb bread machine, it’s worthwhile to 1/2 the dough in your closing baking step. Refrigerate leftover dough

Right here’s an overview of the three cycles wanted in making this bread in your machine:

1. Primary Dough cycle (1h 50 min) – My cycle does – preheating (20~30 min) -> 20 min kneading -> 45 min rising -> stir down or punch down -> 22 min 2nd rising.
2. Easy Rise (20-30 min) – let the dough balls rise in bread machine for 30 min, OR let it rise in 2 separate bowls on heat counter or 100 F proof temp in oven for 20 min.
3. Bread Baking cycle (1h 50 min)- 1 hr rising -> 50 min baking. Hopefully you might have a option to mimic what I did right here or you possibly can simply cease the dough after kneading after which use the oven to show by following my authentic milk bread recipe by proving for 40 – 60min till dough has doubled in measurement.

Substances for breadmaker Milk Bread

WET substances

• 3/4 cup 2% milk (plus a little bit additional for prime of loaf)
• 1/4 cup water
• 60g unsalted butter
• 1 egg

DRY substances

• 50g sugar
• 7g on the spot yeast
• 1 tsp high quality sea salt
• 2 Tbs dry milk powder (for baking)
• 1/2 Tbsp unsalted butter (for pan)

Step-by-Step Directions

• This recipe assumes your breadmaker has a dough cycle. In case your machine doesn’t have one, it’s possible you’ll wish to make the dough following directions in my authentic Milk bread recipe after which you possibly can nonetheless bake it in your machine.

1. Soften butter within the microwave till it’s totally melted (50% energy 20-25 sec in microwave).
2. Heat up your milk (to tub water temperature) and use room temp water and eggs – particularly in the event you don’t have a preheat operate inside your dough cycle.
3. Add all of the moist substances (milk, water, melted butter, egg) + SALT into the bread pan. You’ll be able to add salt together with your dry substances however I like so as to add the salt on this step to make sure it doesn’t inhibit the yeast in anyway.
4. Combine DRY substances – combine flour and sugar first in a bowl after which add to pan on prime of the moist ingrdients.
5. Make a little bit properly (or a divot) in the course of the dry substances and add yeast contained in the properly and likewise add milk powder (I often add it within the nook of the pan).
6. Put the bread pan within the machine with all of the substances in and begin a full Primary Dough cycle. See above for particulars of my machine’s dough cycle – it mainly takes 1 hr 50 min complete of preheating and proving 2 occasions. For those who don’t have a dough cycle, you should use simply make the dough with a stand mixer by following steps in my common milk bread recipe.
7. After the dough cycle is full and completed proving, your dough ought to look one thing like the underside pic within the image above. Prime pic is how the dough seems to be like initially of the kneading course of.
8. When the dough is completed proving (1 in pic), punch it down (2) after which take the dough out of the pan onto a granite or wooden chopping board (4) and divide into 2 equal measurement dough (5). Sprinkle some flour on the floor and knead every dough a couple of occasions then shaping it tightly right into a ball (7). IF you might have customized rise operate THEN nestle every dough ball again within the bread pan subsequent to one another (8) and let the dough balls rise within the machine for 30 min. IF there’s NO customized rise operate in your machine, you possibly can put every dough ball into separate bowls, cowl with plastic wrap or towel and let it rise in heat location or 100℉ oven. Under pic is when the dough balls have completed proving within the machine.
9. As soon as the dough has risen, switch the dough separately on a clean floor (granite or marble works properly), sprinkle floor very calmly with flour and likewise coat the rolling pin lightlly with flour. Roll out one dough ball right into a thick rectangle about 12 inches lengthy and 4-5 inches large. The dough will probably be fairly sticky so it could keep on with counter or the rolling pin, it’s okay, simply sprinkle a bit extra flour and it ought to work then. Roll the highest of the dough (3 inches) down after which fold the underside up about the identical quantity, leading to a square-like dough form. Roll it right into a log, ranging from one finish of the sq. till you might have a roll all rolled up. If you want to see a video of the way it’s achieved, you possibly can see it on the finish of the directions.
10. Evenly butter the edges of the bread pan (I didn’t trouble washing the pan, simply smeared some butter with my palms) and nestle the two logs down within the bread machine pan like above.
11. Put pan again within the bread machine and for the FINAL TIME set it to rise for 1 hr or till the highest of the dough is up about 70% peak of the pan. Once more, in the event you don’t have customized rise operate, let dough rise within the pan at room temp or in 100℉ oven for 40 min.
12. Let’s begin baking! Bake for 50 min. Choose the your crust desire. I often set crust to medium. Optionally, for some shine, brush the highest with some milk or egg whites earlier than baking. Word that bread baked within the bread machine gained’t have the identical golden brown prime such as you get within the oven. BUT, imagine me, the style and texture is simply nearly as good as my authentic milk bread recipe!
