Thanks for everyone who gave advice about my Japanese milk bread 🙂

Instead of 1.5x the recipe for my 13x4x4 loaf, I did 1.2x and really watched the rise. Also made four dough balls instead of three.

It came out fluffy and sooo soft!! I also made a couple of small recipe tweaks (bumped up the fat in eggs and dairy) which I think makes it all the better. Can’t wait to see how it ages over the next few days 🙂

You can see in the second picture there’s maybe the slightest hint of denseness along the top crust but honestly I didn’t even notice until I changed lighting and it doesn’t impact the quality of the bread to me

    Nice work! I’ve also been working on a shokupan bake in my 13″ Pullman but the lid keeps getting blown off in my oven! 😭

    What’s your secret?

    I dunno friend. You should probably send it to me so I can make absolutely certain that it’s all good 👀
