Milk bread is a Japanese-style white bread that originated from the Hokkaido region of Japan. It also is referred to as shokupan, which literally translates to eating bread and is the general name for milk bread in Japanese.

Milk bread is absolutely the softest, and most versatile white bread ever invented. It has a soft crust and the inside is subtly sweet that gives you a melt-in-your-mouth experience. The special texture of Hokkaido milk bread comes from the high hydration percentage and the addition of a starter. I love using milk bread to experiment with different flavors because it creates the easiest and most versatile base. If you haven't already, check out my Ube Swirl Milk Bread for extra inspo!

Typically, I only fill each bread roll with 1 tablespoon of filling. And since this recipe yields 12 rolls, I prepare 12 tablespoon of black sesame seeds, meaning 6 tablespoon black sesame seeds and 6 tablespoon sugar.

When it comes to bread, I find that it is better to slightly err on the short cooking time as long as the bread is fully cooked then err on the long cooking time since bread that bakes for too long tends to become hard and dry.

Also, as you learn to understand the quirks of your oven, you will become better and better at judging the time it needs to get that perfect bread.

You might have to make a few recipes before you know you’ve found ‘the one.’ But one day, you’ll be deep into a recipe (that you may have read too quickly at the start), and you’ll realize you need help. What texture should this be? Is it ok if I messed this step up? How are these flavors going to work? If it’s a great cookbook, the answer will be right there for you, anticipating pitfalls and knowing when you need more info. That’s the kind of cookbook A Common Table is.
