WHAT IS BREAD WITH MILK?
Milk bread is a white bread made with milk that is extremely soft, fluffy, and light. It is great for toast, sandwiches, or just eating by itself. It's also known as Japanese milk bread, shokupan, and Korean milk bread.
In Japan, it's also known as "shokupan," which means "eating bread," because it can be eaten every day as a simple white bread.
The milk used to make Hokkaido milk bread comes from Hokkaido, a region well-known for its high-quality milk and dairy products.
Most Asian bakeries, like 85° Bakery, Tous Les Jours, and Paris Baguette, sell them.
They can be baked in pullman loaf pans for a rectangular shape that works well for sandwiches or in open loaf pans for a golden brown crust.
Traditional Asian milk bread is made with "tangzhong" or "yuddane," a roux or starter made by heating flour and water together. However, dough enhancer is a baker's secret for the softest, fluffiest milk bread, according to my mother!

Dough enhancer yields consistently soft, fluffy bread every time.
When handling the dough, be careful not to tear it while shaping it. Without sufficient oven spring, tearing the dough will result in an irregular crumb.
Make sure the dough doubles in size and don't rush the proofing process.
Form the spirals tightly so that they bake with the right amount of oven spring.
