I previously made these sweet dinner rolls using this tangzhong milk bead recipe found here.
The bread was a success and everyone loved it. I made some again recently, but I made it into one single loaf instead into smaller rolls. The bigger loaf pieces were even fluffier and softer than the small rolls. I’ll definitely be making this again soon.
I love how shiny the outside of the bread is. It’s perfect for breakfast, a snack, or really any time of the day.

Milk Bread (adapted from here)
Ingredients
2½ cups bread flour
3tbsp+2tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 large egg
½ cup milk
120g tangzhong (use this recipe here for the tangzhong and used about 1/2)
2 tsp instant yeast
3 tbsp butter (cut into small pieces, softened at room temperature)
Make a well in the center. Whisk and combine all wet ingredients: milk, egg and tangzhong, then add into the well of the dry ingredients. Use the dough hook attachment and mix on low speed until your dough comes together and then add in the butter and continue mixing on medium to high speed. Mix for about 18-20 minutes until the dough is no longer sticky and is elastic. You want the dough to be elastic. So if you were to take a part of it and stretch it out, you can stretch it to a very thin membrane without it breaking. When you poke a hole in the thin membrane, it should form a close to perfect circle.5. Roll out each part with a rolling pin into an oval shape. Take one end of the dough and fold to meet the middle of the oval. Take the other end and fold to meet on top. Turn the dough over, so that the folds face down and roll and flatten dough with pin. Flip dough again, so folded side faces up. Roll the dough up from top to bottom. Repeat this step of rolling for the rest of your dough. Place each roll into a 9 x 5 loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Then cover with cling wrap or a wet towel. Leave it for the second round of proofing, about 45 to 60 minutes, until double in size.
