Milk Bread
Milk Bread – Japanese-inspired milk bread that is cotton soft, sweet and delicious. Using roux method, this milk bread recipe is a keeper!
It’s been raining here in Southern California. For days. When it rains, the Rasa Malaysia kitchen is closed because I only develop, cook and shoot new recipes when the sun is out. So I apologize of the lack of updates and recipes since the holidays.
My baking assistant and I worked on this amazing, soft, cottony Japanese-inspired milk bread recipe before the holidays but I never got a chance to share the recipe until now. This milk bread recipe applies a roux technique to make the dough. First part of the dough is cooked first. This technique yeilds soft, puffy and absolutely amazing bread.
You can make this using regular 9X5″ loaf pan or baking dishes for split-top buns. I made them into these cute clover-shaped buns because they are just so cute.

This is the exact recipe of the Kindred Milk Bread that was featured on Food 52–word for word, I think. The bread is really good and versatile–best of all, one of the easiest to make!

I adapted it from Bon Appetit.

You said to a previous commenter that one could make this in a regular loaf pan but that it would have to be made as “pull apart bread”. This would be my first time making pull part bread and my second time making bread (I’ve only made potato bread in the past), can you give me more info on how to do that and if all of the times given are the same or if they change when cooked as a loaf. Thanks so much!! I love your site and your recipes. You’re definitely one of my favorite food bloggers. Your Asian recipes are so authentic and I like how you keep the ingredients simple. Thanks again!!

Hi Nicole, if you make this into pull apart bread, you are basically putting all the dough balls into the regular loaf pan instead of shaping them like shown in this post. Thanks for your sweet support!
