Fold the long sides of the dough inwards so that they meet in the center and press lightly with your fingers. Twist the dough on the short side into a roll and seal the bottom edge. Place in the mold seam side down, prepare the remaining dough in the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo make the rolls: divide the dough into 6 pieces, roll each into a ball, transfer to a baking tray some distance apart and follow all other bread making instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCover the mold with 3 pieces with foil and leave to proof for 20-25 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\nBaking bread<\/h3>\n\n\n\nBeat the egg with a fork.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBrush the top of the future bread with egg and place in the oven.

It might take a little longer, around 10-15 minutes, to achieve the same smooth and elastic consistency.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nWhat can I use if I don\u2019t have a bread loaf pan?<\/h3>\n\n\nIf you don’t have a bread loaf pan, you can shape the dough into individual buns and bake them on a lined baking tray with enough space between each for expansion.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nCan I make this bread without eggs for a vegan version?<\/h3>\n\n\nFor a vegan version, omit the egg used for glazing. You can brush the top with plant-based milk or melted vegan butter instead.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nHow can I tell if the bread is fully baked?<\/h3>\n\n\nThe bread is done when it has a golden-brown crust and sounds hollow when tapped at the bottom. An internal temperature of about 190\u00b0F (88\u00b0C) is also a good indicator.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nIs it possible to add fillings to this bread, like chocolate or cheese?<\/h3>\n\n\nAbsolutely! You can incorporate fillings like chocolate chips or cheese into the dough before the final shaping and baking step.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nCan I freeze this bread?<\/h3>\n\n\nYes, the bread freezes well. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to a month. Thaw at room temperature and reheat slightly before serving.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nCan I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?<\/h3>\n\n\nYes, you can use instant yeast in the same quantity. Instant yeast doesn\u2019t need to be activated in warm milk and can be mixed directly with the dry ingredients.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nWhy does my dough take longer to rise?<\/h3>\n\n\nThe rising time can vary based on the room temperature and yeast freshness. In colder environments, it may take longer for the dough to rise. Ensuring your yeast is not expired can also help.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nHow can I ensure my bread stays ultra-soft and fluffy?<\/h3>\n\n\nKneading the dough sufficiently to develop gluten and ensuring a proper first rise are key. Also, avoid over-baking, as it can dry out the bread.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nCan I add sugar to the dough for a sweeter bread?<\/h3>\n\n\nYes, you can increase the sugar amount if you prefer a sweeter bread. However, too much sugar can affect yeast activity, so be cautious with the quantity.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nWhy is my bread crust too hard?<\/h3>\n\n\nA hard crust can result from over-baking or baking at too high a temperature. Try reducing the oven temperature and check the bread a few minutes earlier than the prescribed time.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nCan I use a different type of milk, like almond or soy milk?<\/h3>\n\n\nYes, you can use non-dairy milk like almond or soy milk, but the final flavor and texture might slightly vary from the original recipe.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nHow should I store the bread to maintain its freshness?<\/h3>\n\n\nStore the bread in an airtight container or wrap it in plastic wrap at room temperature. Avoid refrigerating, as it can dry out the bread.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nIs this bread suitable for making sandwiches?<\/h3>\n\n\nAbsolutely! Korean milk bread is excellent for sandwiches due to its soft, fluffy texture and subtle sweetness.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n📌 Pin it!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\t\n\tKorean milk bread – ultra soft and fluffy buns<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n

An internal temperature of about 190\u00b0F (88\u00b0C) is also a good indicator.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nIs it possible to add fillings to this bread, like chocolate or cheese?<\/h3>\n\n\nAbsolutely! You can incorporate fillings like chocolate chips or cheese into the dough before the final shaping and baking step.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nCan I freeze this bread?<\/h3>\n\n\nYes, the bread freezes well. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to a month. Thaw at room temperature and reheat slightly before serving.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nCan I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?<\/h3>\n\n\nYes, you can use instant yeast in the same quantity. Instant yeast doesn\u2019t need to be activated in warm milk and can be mixed directly with the dry ingredients.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nWhy does my dough take longer to rise?<\/h3>\n\n\nThe rising time can vary based on the room temperature and yeast freshness. In colder environments, it may take longer for the dough to rise. Ensuring your yeast is not expired can also help.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nHow can I ensure my bread stays ultra-soft and fluffy?<\/h3>\n\n\nKneading the dough sufficiently to develop gluten and ensuring a proper first rise are key. Also, avoid over-baking, as it can dry out the bread.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nCan I add sugar to the dough for a sweeter bread?<\/h3>\n\n\nYes, you can increase the sugar amount if you prefer a sweeter bread. However, too much sugar can affect yeast activity, so be cautious with the quantity.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nWhy is my bread crust too hard?<\/h3>\n\n\nA hard crust can result from over-baking or baking at too high a temperature. Try reducing the oven temperature and check the bread a few minutes earlier than the prescribed time.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nCan I use a different type of milk, like almond or soy milk?<\/h3>\n\n\nYes, you can use non-dairy milk like almond or soy milk, but the final flavor and texture might slightly vary from the original recipe.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nHow should I store the bread to maintain its freshness?<\/h3>\n\n\nStore the bread in an airtight container or wrap it in plastic wrap at room temperature. Avoid refrigerating, as it can dry out the bread.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nIs this bread suitable for making sandwiches?<\/h3>\n\n\nAbsolutely!

Beat the egg with a fork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brush the top of the future bread with egg and place in the oven. Bake at 180 \u00b0C (350 \u00b0F) <\/strong>for 25-28 minutes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nTake the bread out of the oven and help it to separate from the mold using a knife, then remove it from the mold and place it on a wire rack to cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt is important to take the bread out of the mold at once so that it does not get soggy.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen the bread has cooled completely, it is ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n🙋♂️ FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\nCan I use all-purpose flour instead of bread flour for this recipe?<\/h3>\n\n\nYes, all-purpose flour can be used, but bread flour is preferred for its higher protein content, which contributes to the bread’s soft and fluffy texture.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nCan I knead the dough by hand if I don’t have a mixer?<\/h3>\n\n\nYes, you can knead the dough by hand. It might take a little longer, around 10-15 minutes, to achieve the same smooth and elastic consistency.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nWhat can I use if I don\u2019t have a bread loaf pan?<\/h3>\n\n\nIf you don’t have a bread loaf pan, you can shape the dough into individual buns and bake them on a lined baking tray with enough space between each for expansion.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nCan I make this bread without eggs for a vegan version?<\/h3>\n\n\nFor a vegan version, omit the egg used for glazing. You can brush the top with plant-based milk or melted vegan butter instead.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nHow can I tell if the bread is fully baked?<\/h3>\n\n\nThe bread is done when it has a golden-brown crust and sounds hollow when tapped at the bottom. An internal temperature of about 190\u00b0F (88\u00b0C) is also a good indicator.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nIs it possible to add fillings to this bread, like chocolate or cheese?<\/h3>\n\n\nAbsolutely! You can incorporate fillings like chocolate chips or cheese into the dough before the final shaping and baking step.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nCan I freeze this bread?<\/h3>\n\n\nYes, the bread freezes well. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to a month. Thaw at room temperature and reheat slightly before serving.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nCan I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?<\/h3>\n\n\nYes, you can use instant yeast in the same quantity. Instant yeast doesn\u2019t need to be activated in warm milk and can be mixed directly with the dry ingredients.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nWhy does my dough take longer to rise?<\/h3>\n\n\nThe rising time can vary based on the room temperature and yeast freshness. In colder environments, it may take longer for the dough to rise. Ensuring your yeast is not expired can also help.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nHow can I ensure my bread stays ultra-soft and fluffy?<\/h3>\n\n\nKneading the dough sufficiently to develop gluten and ensuring a proper first rise are key. Also, avoid over-baking, as it can dry out the bread.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nCan I add sugar to the dough for a sweeter bread?<\/h3>\n\n\nYes, you can increase the sugar amount if you prefer a sweeter bread.
