Baking Bread Every Week With My Mom

I filmed this whole process of making FIVE different kinds of homemade Asian bread with my mom on my YouTube channel, so if you are also a visual learner like me, we can bake together. Today, we’ll be making he following kinds of Asian Bread:

  1. Milk Bread AKA Master Dough
  2. Marble Chocolate Milk Bread
  3. Chinese Hot Dog Bun
  4. Creamy Tuna Buns
  5. Scallion Buns

Secret To Fluffy Milk Bread is Tangzhong

First, why are homemade Asian bread so fluffy and soft? Asian bread is always soft yet slightly chewy because of Tangzhong, a roux made with flour and water. This keeps the bread extra moist and soft, giving it an extra fluffiness. Adding in Tangzhong guarantees that your Milk Bread will come out perfect every time.

Make sure your Tangzhong is completely cooled down before adding it to the rest of the ingredients. I recommend making it the night before to help you save time.
