Hokkaido Milk Bread

Always wanted to try this technique and when I found a recipe for Matcha Hokkaido Milk Bread I knew I had to try it out. Matcha is the Japanese powdered Green Tea and it just happened that I had some, since Green Tea Ice Cream is one of our indulgences.

The recipe was from the Bakeansita and can be found here. 

Making the tangzhong was simple, but does require constant stirring so that the paste does not burn as it thickens.

Followed the recipe instructions for using a bread machine to make the dough. Here is the final result, light airy, great flavor bread.
