Print Recipe

Fluffy and soft Japanese Milk Bread Rolls feature a tender crumb and slightly sweet flavor, perfect for sandwiches or breakfast treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups bread flour
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp instant yeast
  • ⅓ cup warm whole milk
  • ⅓ cup heavy cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine bread flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together warm milk, heavy cream, and egg.
  3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Incorporate softened butter and continue kneading until fully absorbed.
  6. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1½ hours, or until doubled in size.
  7. Punch down the dough, divide it into 8 equal portions, and shape each into a smooth ball.
  8. Arrange the balls in a greased baking pan, cover, and let rise for another 45 minutes.
  9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool before serving.

Notes

For extra softness, brush the tops with melted butter immediately after baking and cover with a clean towel while cooling.
