Description

Hokkaido milk bread, also known as shokupan, is a popular bread in Japan that is known for its soft, fluffy texture and slightly sweet taste. This bread is made with a special technique that involves using a starter called tangzhong, which is a mixture of flour and water that is cooked to create a thick paste. The tangzhong helps to create the unique texture of the bread, and also helps it to stay fresh for longer. This recipe is designed for use in a bread machine, which makes the process of making bread at home much easier. With the help of a bread machine, you can have fresh, homemade bread in no time!
