| Milk Bread (adapted from two of Christine’s recipes here and here,which she adapted from the 65 degrees book) Ingredients: | |
| 2½ cups | bread flour |
| 3tbsp+2tsp | sugar |
| 1/2 tsp | salt |
| 1 large | egg |
| ½ cup | milk |
| 120g tangzhong, (see below; please note the recipe for tangzhong makes more than 120g so you will only use a little more than half) | |
| 2 tsp | instant yeast |
| 3 tbsp | butter,, (cut into small pieces, softened at room temperature) |
| Directions 1. Combine the flour, salt, sugar and instant yeast in a bowl of a stand mixer. Make a well in the center. Add in all wet ingredients: milk, egg and tangzhong. Fit the dough hook attachment on your stand mixer and begin mixing on medium speed and knead until your dough comes together and then add in the butter and continue kneading. Keep kneading until the dough is smooth, not too sticky on the surface and elastic. I kneaded the dough for about 18-20 minutes. Each mixer may vary. When the dough is ready, you should be able to take a chunk of dough and stretch it to a very thin membrane before it breaks. When it does break, the break should form a circle. ~ 2. Knead the dough into a ball shape. Take a large bowl and grease with oil. Place dough into greased bowl and cover with a wet towel. Let it proof until it’s doubled in size, about 40 minutes. ~ 3. Transfer to a clean surface. Divide the dough into four equal portions. Knead into balls. Cover with cling wrap, let rest for 15 minutes. - 4. Roll out each portion of the dough with a rolling pin into an oval shape. Take one end of the dough and fold to meet the middle of the oval. Take the other end and fold to meet on top. ~ 5. Flip dough over with the folds facing down,and flatten dough with rolling pin. ~ 6. Flip dough over so the folds face up. Now roll the dough up. Place each of the rolls into the bread pan and put a piece of plastic wrap over the rolls. Let them rise until double the size, approximately another 40 minutes. ~ 7. Beat an egg and brush egg mixture on top to create shiny eggwash finish. ~ 8. Bake at 325 degrees F for approximately 30 minutes ➖〰➖〰➖〰➖〰➖〰➖〰➖〰➖〰➖〰➖〰➖〰➖ Tangzhong Ingredients | |
| 1/3 cup | bread flour |
| 1 cup | water |
Directions
1. Mix flour and water together and whisk until it is completely dissolved and no lumps remain.

2. Pour mixture into a small pot and turn on medium heat. Begin stirring constantly as the mixture heats up. It will begin to thicken. When the temperature of the mixture reaches 65 degrees Celsius, turn off the stove and take the mixture off the stove to let it cool. I used a thermometer but I’ve read from Christine’s website and several others that you can sort of eye it. If you are continually stirring, the mixture will start to have “lines ” and then it is done. I started to see lines around the same time the temperature reached 65C.

3. Once the mixture is cooled, pour it into a bowl and cover the top using plastic wrap. Place the wrap directly onto the mixture to keep it from drying out and put it in the fridge for several hours or overnight. The paste does not keep well, so use within a few days.
