Kawaii Matcha Milk Bread Recipe by Kat Lieu
What’s better than fresh homemade milk bread? Matcha milk bread of course! If you’re time-poor, you can make this bread dough like I did the night before and allow it to rise in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, shape and then proof for about an hour in warm room temperature. You can also use any standard bread pan. I chose a cute neko (cat) bread pan and turn the slices into a frog and a kitty. I highly recommend you try this easy milk bread recipe. It requires neither the tangzhong nor yudane methods, and I bet you’ll be matcha in love with it! Happy baking! Xoxoxo, Kat Lieu Note: For added umami, instead of salt, add 1/2 teaspoon of any miso to the bread dough.

Miso Garlic Pesto Milk Bread Buns (Cinnamon-Bun Style) Recipe By Kat Lieu
Let’s make miso garlic pesto milk bread rolls!
These buns are soft, fluffy, and almost too decadent. They can be made entirely vegan (use plant-based milk instead of dairy milk, and use tofu instead of an egg as the dough's binding agent). And only because someone had an argument with me about this, yeast is 100% vegan. They are fun-guys like a mushroom. Get it? Fungi, fun-guy? Har, har, har.
If you love spicy foods, add some crispy garlic spicy chili oil for an added kick.
If you bake these beauties, be sure to let me know what you think and tag #subtleasianbakes ! <3
