About Milk bun

Milk buns are soft, fluffy breads derived from Japanese baking traditions, often known for their pillowy texture and subtly sweet flavor. Commonly made with milk, butter, sugar, flour, and yeast, their additional tenderness comes from the use of tangzhong, a roux-like mixture of flour and water that enhances moisture retention. While milk buns are a popular comfort food enjoyed plain or as a base for sandwiches and desserts, they are moderately high in carbohydrates and sugars due to their ingredients. They provide some protein and calcium from the milk and butter but are low in fiber, which may lead to faster digestion. Originating from East Asian cuisine, they’ve gained global appeal for their versatility. Milk buns are best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Their simplicity makes them a satisfying treat for many, but pairing them with nutrient-dense fillings can enhance their nutritional value.
