milk bread
Soft enriched loaf
Milk bread is a soft, slightly sweet bread made with milk (or milk powder) and often enriched with butter and eggs.
The milk proteins create a tender, pillowy crumb and thin, golden crust.
Popular in East Asian baking, particularly Japanese shokupan, milk bread is used for sandwiches, toast, and as the foundation for various filled buns: The bakery's milk bread rolls were impossibly fluffy.
