Milk bread is a Japanese style white bread that is incredibly soft, white, fluffy, and shreddable. It has a soft and thin crust and the insides are milky-sweet with a lightness that melts in your mouth.
Ingredients
- 80 g water warm
- 40 g milk warm
- 57 g egg (1 large)
- 24 g sugar
- 270 g bread flour
- 6 g instant dry yeast
- 20 g unsalted butter room temp
Steps
- In a stand mixture, add water, milk, egg, yeast, sugar, butter, flour, and salt. Mix on low speed with the dough hook for 5 minutes until the dough comes together in a shaggy mass, scraping down the bowl as needed.
- Knead on medium for 15 more minutes. The dough will be very soft and tacky – try to resist adding flour. With floured hands, shape into a ball and transfer to a clean lightly floured bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
- Put it inside a bowl and you will find that the size has tripped in like 1 hour.
- Take the dough and tip it out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Punch down lightly then divide into 3 equal portions. Take one ball of dough and lightly roll it out into an oval.
- Next, bring the two sides of the oval towards the middle.
- At this point, you can roll it up. Then place the rolls in a loaf pan, cover and let proof until doubled, about 40 minutes to 1 hour.
- Then the oven to 355°F after the dough has been proofing for 30 minutes.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the bread is golden and cooked through. You can brush with cream or butter if you want a shiny top.
- Remove from the pan immediately and let it cool completely. And here you have your milk cloud loaf bread ready!
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 3 tbsp coconut cream spoon from a refrigerated can of full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Optional toppings: sea salt black pepper and rosemary or any other seasoning you like
Steps
-
Pre-heat the oven to 325f degrees and arrange a rack in the middle. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and keep it aside.
-
Spoon out the top refrigerated coconut cream and add to the smaller bowl.
-
Then separate the eggs into the two bowls, adding the yolk to the bowl with the cream and be careful to not let the yolk get into the whites in the larger bowl.
-
Then beat the yolk and cream together first until nice and creamy. Make sure there are no clumps of coconut left.
-
Add the baking powder into the whites and start beating on medium with the hand mixer for a few minutes, moving around and you’ll see it get firmer. Keep going for a few minutes, you want to get it as thick as you can with stiff peaks.
-
Then add the yolk-coconut mixture into the whites, folding with a spatula, careful not to deflate too much.
-
Now pour your batter down on the baking sheet. Keep going as quickly and carefully as you can, or it will start to melt.
-
Add your baking sheet to the middle rack in the oven and bake for approx. 20-25 minutes.

You should be able to scoop them up with your spatula and see a fluffy top and a flat bottom. Store in the fridge for about a week or freeze.
