Matcha white chocolate Shokupan

Oleh Special Recipes

Making bread is one of my hobbies ^^.

Many times, I hand kneaded it (well, I use all of my strength to release my stress, haha). But there is time that I'm too lazy, plus it's easier for me to use a stand mixer to knead the dough for shokupan. As it contains more liquid and I always want to add more flour when I knead it by hand.
Anyway, you can hand-knead it but try not to add more flour. If the dough is too sticky to work with, just wash your hand, pat dry, and coat your hands with butter before kneading it again.

This bread is delicious on its own, but you can make it more delicious by lightly toasting it and serving it with more butter 😆 .

To prevent the top of the bread from burning, cover it after baking for 15-20 minutes or use only lower heat.
