This is my fifth Japanese pastry course, and I’d like to focus on Japanese Hokkaido milk bread.

Hokkaido milk bread is one of the most popular and common breads for Japanese people. It’s incredibly soft and fluffy like a pillow, most people eat it as an everyday bread for breakfast.

You can find many recipes online but it’s very important to know particular techniques to create perfect fluffy bread.

In this course, you will learn the basic techniques needed to bake not only Hokkaido milk bread, but also other Japanese breads. You will also be shown how to prepare ingredients correctly, how to check signs that the dough is ready and how we let the dough rise properly.

For this time, I’d like to show you the classic method, not Tangzhong method. I’m going to show you every single step even some small tips, so you will get the hang of it.

Hope you enjoy baking with me!
