About Japanese milk bread

Japanese Milk Bread, also known as "shokupan," is a soft, fluffy bread originating from Japan. It’s made using simple ingredients like flour, yeast, sugar, salt, milk, and butter, with its signature pillowy texture achieved through the incorporation of a pre-cooked flour and water paste called tangzhong. This technique enhances moisture retention, resulting in a light, tender crumb. While its mild sweetness and delicate texture make it a popular choice for everything from sandwiches to toast, its buttery composition contributes to a higher calorie and fat content compared to whole-grain breads. Japanese Milk Bread is rich in carbohydrates, providing quick energy, but low in fiber or micronutrients, making it less nutritionally dense. Though an indulgent treat, pairing it with nutrient-rich toppings like avocado or lean proteins can help balance its nutritional profile for a satisfying meal option.
