This Milk Bread is a delight! It is a simple recipe for a bread dough that yields soft and slightly sweet bread that is perfect on its own or with a pat of butter. #milkbuns #Milkbread #sweetbuns
This Milk bread recipe produces soft and fluffy rolls that are mildly sweet and are perfect for your choice of spread or jam.

Soft and fluffy milk bread that is perfect on their own but also great with a pat of butter or jam.

This milk bread had me at its deep golden top. It sparked my imagination of spreading butter lavishly over a soft crust and feeling in my mouth a sensation of warm, soft bread being moistened by a smear of softened fat.

Milk Bread

Milk bread has a mild taste and slight sweetness. Its simple profile makes it a perfect canvass for your choice of spread, be it fruit jam, cream cheese or whatever is your favorite. In my case, butter.

On most days though, I eat it plain. There is just something so satisfying about tasting the natural sweetness of bread and savoring its softness and fluffiness.

Pointers for Making Milk Bread

  • Most traditional methods for making milk bread calls for a starter called a tangzhong. It is flour cooked together with water (and milk) to form a soft dough that is mixed with the rest of the ingredients. This recipe is a simpler but foolproof method of making milk bread and does not require the tangzhong.
  • A stand mixer is employed here and it pretty much does all the job. Kneading using the dough hook takes about 15-18 minutes, and just like in the brioche recipe, my indication if the dough is ready is if the dough is gathered in the center of the bowl, and is slapping against the sides of the bowl (More about that in the process part later).
  • The recipe is enough to make 2 sets of rolls in a round baking pan, and with 8 pieces of rolls in each. You can also make 2 loaves instead. Or like what I did, make one pan of rolls and one loaf. They stay soft for days as long as they are stored in covered containers. You can also microwave them for 15-20 seconds, and they will still be as amazing as if they were just out of the oven.

Milk Bread: The Process 

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the warm water. Sprinkle the yeast and about 1 tsp of the sugar. Let stand until foamy. Add the warm milk, warm heavy cream, the egg, the remaining sugar and salt. With the dough hook attached, run the mixer at low speed just to incorporate the ingredients.
  2. With the mixer still running, add 3 cups of flour, one cup at a time, and beat until the dough gathers into a shaggy mass. Add the remaining cup of flour and continue to beat until incorporated. Then slowly build up the speed to medium and mix the dough for about 8-12 minutes, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl when necessary.

  3. As the machine continues to run, you should see your dough starting to form in the center, and is clinging to the dough hook. A few minutes more and the dough is beginning to slap the sides of the bowl and making the slapping sound. If you are 10 minutes into the mixing and the dough seems like it is not coming together (still laying flat and shaggy in the bowl), sprinkle about a teaspoon or two of flour to the bowl. You can add up to 2-3 tablespoons of flour. Keep mixing until the dough is coming together in the center. You should hear the slapping sounds of the dough soon.

  4. Overall, the kneading should take like 8-12  minutes only. Longer than that, you might risk over kneading your dough. The dough is now ready for proofing. Its texture is still a little bit tacky when you poke it with your finger, but it has lost a lot of stickiness at this time. Gather the dough into a ball. Sprinkle a little amount of flour into the sides and base of the bowl and place the dough for proofing. (Or set the ball of dough in another bowl, if you prefer.)
  5. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and set this aside in a warm place for about 1 to 1 and 1/2 hours. The dough should double in size. After the first rise, divide the dough into two equal portions.

Shaping the Dough (3 ways)

  • 16 pieces of milk buns. Divide each portion into 8 equal portions, for a total of 16. Roll each portion into a log of about 8-10 inches long. Roll the log into a coil, tucking the ends under the roll. Place each roll in the pan, giving them about an inch of space in between. Each 9 inch round pan can hold 8 pieces of rolls each.
  • 2 large milk loaves. Divide each portion into three portions for a total of 6. With your palms or a rolling pin, roll each portion into a rough rectangle that is about 1/4 inch thick. Roll each rectangle beginning on the short edge to form a cylinder. Repeat with the rest of the portions. Using two greased 9×5 inches loaf pan, arrange the cylinders next to each other, with three cylinders in each pan.
  • Combination. Make buns with one half of the dough, then make a loaf with the other half. This is what I do!
  • The milk bread dough divided into 2 portions.

       6. Let this assembled dough rise for an hour. Cover them loosely with plastic wrap and set them aside. Once the dough has risen, preheat the oven to 350 F. Make the egg wash by beating one egg with 1 tablespoon of milk. Brush the surface of the rolls with the egg wash.

     7. Bake the rolls for 23-25 minutes. The top should be deeply golden and a thermometer should read 200 F. Do not over bake them for they will dry out fast. Then, enjoy the fruit of your not-so-hard labor. Your bread is now ready for glazing, for slathering with spread, or simply pick one out right there and feel the fluffiness of each bite.

Simple glaze: Mix 3 teaspoons of sugar with 2 teaspoons hot water. Stir mixture until sugar is dissolved. Brush over the bread surface.

Enjoy!

Milk Bread

Yield: 16 buns or two loaves
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 23 minutes
Additional Time: 3 hours
Total Time: 3 hours 48 minutes

These milk bread are soft and fluffy rolls that are mildly sweet, making them versatile for pairing with your choice of jam, spreads or even with just a plain cup of coffee. 

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm water (105-115 F)
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup of sugar
  • 1 and 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour

For the Egg Wash

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp milk

Sweet Glaze

  • 2 tsp water
  • 3 tsp sugar

Instructions

      1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the warm water. Sprinkle the yeast and about 1 tsp of the sugar. Let stand until foamy. Add the warm milk, warm heavy cream, the egg, the remaining sugar and salt. With the dough hook attached, run the mixer at low speed just to incorporate the ingredients.
      2. With the mixer still running, add 3 cups of flour, one cup at a time, and beat until the dough gathers into a shaggy mass. Add the remaining cup of flour and continue to beat until incorporated. Then slowly build up the speed to medium and mix the dough for about 8-12 minutes, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl when necessary.
      3. You will see the dough starting to gather into the center and attaching itself into the dough hook. If your dough looks like it is not coming together after 5 minutes of mixing, sprinkle a little amount of flour (about half a teaspoon at a time) into the bowl and continue mixing. You can add up to two tablespoons of flour and you should soon see the dough starting to gather in the center of the bowl. As you approach the 12 minutes mark, you should hear the dough slapping the sides of the bowl as it clings to the dough hook. This is a good sign that your dough is ready for proofing.
      4. Gather the dough into a ball, sprinkle a little bit of flour into a bowl, and place the ball of dough inside it. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and set it on a warm place for one hour to one hour and a half, until the size of the dough is doubled. Meanwhile, Grease two 9 inch round cake pans. After the dough has risen, return it into the mixer with the dough hook and mix on medium for 5 more minutes.
      5. Divide the dough into 16 equal portions. I usually cut the dough in half, then cut each portion in half again, and so on until I yield 16 equal pieces. Roll each portion into a log of about 8-10 inches in size, then twist each log into a coil. Tuck the ends underneath. Place each assembled dough inside the round pans, giving about an inch of space between each roll. Each 9 inch round cake pan should have 8 rolls each. Cover the rolls loosely with plastic wrap and let rise again until double in size, about an hour or so.
      6. Alternatively, you can make two loaves by dividing the dough into 2 portions, then divide each portion into 3 portions for a total of six. Roll each portion into a rough rectangle, then roll it into a cylinder starting on the short edge. Arrange 3 cylinders of dough in each pan. (See photos in the post)
      7. Preheat oven to 350 F. Make the egg wash by lightly beating one egg with 1 tablespoon of milk. Brush the surface of the rolls with the egg wash without letting the fluid drip to the sides. Bake in a 350 F oven for 23-25 minutes or until rolls are deeply golden on top. A thermometer should read 200 F. Once it reaches that mark, the bread is done. For loaves, bake it for 3-5 minutes more. To make the glaze, mix three teaspoons of sugar with two teaspoons hot water, stir it until the sugar is dissolved, and brush over the bread.

    Hi Sanna, I have 2 questions…can this dough be used to make cinnamon rolls & also could some herbs & garlic be added to make garlic herb bread? For the cinnamon bread I just wondered if rolling the dough would make any difference…then for the garlic herb I am wondering if adding that would hurt the dough. I’m not really new to baking, it’s just been many moons since I’ve really baked any. I appreciate your help & advice! Thanks so much!

      Hi Jenny! You can freeze them after baking for up to 2-3 weeks. Or after the first rise, Divide the dough in half. Make the rolls for the other half as usual and keep the other half in the fridge for up two days. When ready to bake, allow the dough to rest at room temperature for about 5 minutes. Shape and let rise again. Bake as usual. I suggest this method rather than freezing them. Happy Baking!

    I have a Kitchen Aide stand mixer and it says not to go over 6 min I believe, so just wanting to avoid over kneading. Previously, I start hearing the slapping sound after about 2 minutes, but your your recipe calls for about 15 minutes of kneading. Thanks for your help!

      Hi Chelsea! If the dough is smooth and can stretch thinly, then it is good. I don’t have a Kitchen Aide, and maybe the mixing speed differs from mine. ( I use Oster) The slapping sound is a good indication that the dough is ready. Just look for other signs like the smoothness and stretchiness. good luck and thank you so much!

      Also, for medium speed, the dial is somewhere between 4-6.

    So excited, amateur bread baker here. When you say to put the mixer on medium speed, do you mean 5? My handbook for mixer says “kneading is at level 2”. Also, do you think half and half would be ok to substitute?

      November 20, 2017 at 7:37 pm

      Hello Chelsea, It will be best to use level 2 so to follow the mixer guidelines for the particular brand you use. 🙂 I have not tried using half and half in place of the heavy cream, but I am thinking that it should be fine 🙂

      Please keep me posted. 🙂

      Hello there, Trudy! Thank you for your question. The meat thermometer would work fine. Generally, the rule is for the milk to not be lukewarm or hot but somewhere in the middle. A thermometer will work just to be sure of the temperature. But then, since you are using instant yeast, you can add the yeast straight to the dough and you don’t need to warm the milk. Just follow the recipe exactly, just omit the warming of the milk part. Active dry yeasts work best when dissolved in warm liquid while instant yeasts can actually be added straight to the dough. Hope that helps and let me know how they turn out!

        Hi Nina,
        Yes, you can still knead it by hand. You just have to look for the signs of an adequately kneaded dough. It should be smooth, shiny and can stretch thinly.
        Good luck and keep me posted!
