Ingredients

• 250 grams Rice flour
• 100 grams All-purpose flour
• 50 grams Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.5 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 200 milliliters Whole milk
• 50 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
• 120 grams Cooked white rice (cooled)
• 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

Step 2

Warm the milk slightly until lukewarm (not hot) and pour it into the bowl. Stir to combine.

Step 3

Add the cooked and cooled rice to the mixture and begin kneading the dough by hand or using a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment.

Step 4

While kneading, gradually add the softened butter a little at a time until fully incorporated. Continue kneading for about 8–10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Lightly grease a large bowl and place the dough inside, covering it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Once risen, punch the dough down to release the air. Transfer it to a floured surface and shape it into a loaf or divide it into smaller rolls, depending on your preference.

Step 7

Place the shaped dough onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover again and allow it to proof for another 30–45 minutes until slightly puffy.

Step 8

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Gently brush the egg wash over the top of the dough.

Step 10

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 11

Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
