Matcha Green Tea Bread Recipe

This recipe for Matcha Shokupan yields a light and soft fluffy bread that has an earthy green tea flavour. It's great for sandwiches, Matcha French Toast, or snacking as is.

Note: The dimensions of the Pullman loaf pan I used was: 21.3 x 12.2 x 11.4 cm // 8.4 x 4.8 x 4.5 inches.

I found that adding the matcha to the tangzhong paste helps the green tea powder distribute evenly with no lumps in the bread.

How To Make Matcha Bread

Stir with a whisk or spatula until it becomes a thick paste, over medium-low heat. Beware, it will thicken up quickly!(Step 2).

In a small bowl, combine warmed milk, sugar and yeast. Stir to activate the yeast and set aside for a few minutes. Once bubbly, add the yeast mixture into the stand mixer bowl.

Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap/cloth. Place in a warm location and let it double in size, about 60-90 minutes, depending on how warm your kitchen is.

Once the loaf has almost risen to the top of the pan, bake at 350F for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 200F.

Depending on how large or small your egg is, you may need to add a little flour if the dough feels too sticky before adding in the butter.

Yes, you can bake this bread in a regular loaf pan. Just note that it will rise and have a rounded shape.

Use the best quality matcha powder you can find. The crusts of the loaf will turn brown, but the interior will stay green.
