Description

Shokupan bread is a Japanese bread that is fluffy, soft, and perfect for sandwiches or toast. It's also known as "milk bread" because it contains milk, which gives it a rich and delicate flavor. This recipe is perfect for those who want to make this bread in a bread machine.

Prep Time

15 minutes

Cook Time

2 hours and 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast

Equipment

  • Bread machine
  • Bread loaf pan

Method

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the milk until it's warm but not hot. Add the egg and whisk to combine. Add the softened butter and whisk again until it's fully melted and combined with the milk mixture.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the bread flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Place the dough into the bread machine and select the "dough" setting. Let it run for the full cycle, which should take about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
  4. After the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the bread machine and place it onto a floured surface. Punch it down and knead it for a few minutes until it's smooth and elastic.
  5. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it into a greased bread loaf pan. Cover it with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until it's golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  7. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Recipes FAQ

What is shokupan bread?

Shokupan bread is a Japanese bread that is fluffy, soft, and perfect for sandwiches or toast. It's also known as "milk bread" because it contains milk, which gives it a rich and delicate flavor.

What is the difference between shokupan bread and regular bread?

Shokupan bread is softer and fluffier than regular bread. It also has a slightly sweet taste, thanks to the addition of sugar and milk.

Can I make shokupan bread without a bread machine?

Yes, you can make shokupan bread without a bread machine. You'll need to knead the dough by hand and let it rise twice before baking it in the oven.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure your milk is warm, but not hot. If it's too hot, it can kill the yeast and prevent the bread from rising.
  • If your bread machine doesn't have a "dough" setting, you can use the "white bread" or "basic" setting instead.
  • Don't over-knead the dough. Once it's smooth and elastic, stop kneading to prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will prevent it from becoming gummy or squishy.
