- 1
Add the bread flour, sugar, salt, and dry yeast to a bowl. Warm the water to the touch, then combine it with the egg and pour into the bowl in one go. Whisk everything together with chopsticks.
- 2
Knead a little and once the dough has gathered into a ball add the margarine and knead further for roughly 10 minutes. Wrap with cling film and leave to proof until doubled in size.
- 3
Whilst the dough is proving, prepare the cookie dough. Cream the margarine in a bowl, add the sugar and mix well.
- 4
Add the egg and vanilla essence and mix again. Then sift in the cake flour and fold in gently with a spatula.
- 5
Once the dough has gathered into a ball, form it into a log, wrap and let it rest in the fridge.
- 6
Once the dough from Step 2 has finished proving, gently punch down, separate into 10, form into balls and leave to rest for 20 minutes. Once it has rested, punch down gently again and re-shape into balls.
- 7
Whilst that dough is resting, go back to your cookie dough. Slice into 10 portions and roll into balls.
- 8
Place the cookie dough on a piece of cling film and roll into a circle.
- 9
Place the ball of bread dough on top of the cookie dough and gently wrap the cookie dough around it.
- 10
Put some sugar on a plate and roll the melon bread around on it to coat a little.
- 11
Feel free to mark the surface with a knife to get the traditional melon bread pattern or leave it as it is and prove for a second time for 40 minutes. Bake for 17 minutes in an oven preheated to 170℃ for 17 minutes to finish.

My Family's Recipe for Rich Melon Bread
When I cook dinner I often add grated to cheese to get a richer flavour. I wondered if this would work with bread and that's how this recipe was born.When wrapping the bread dough with the cookie dough, the cookie shouldn't be sealed completely to allow the bread dough to also expand during the second proofing.Since this cookie dough uses a lot of butter, if it's proved at too high a temperature, the cookie dough will start peeling away from the bread dough. For 12 servings. Recipe by Nagiry
Easy Egg-Free Melon Bread
These melon bread rolls, or "melonpan," are my family's absolute favourite.

Everyone Loves This Melon Bread
I've loved melon bread since I was little, so I've been making my own version, obsessing about the cookie dough and bread dough, since I was a student.This is very popular as a gift, so my friends have given it the name "Meg's Melon Bread". This melon bread recipe is my beloved child.In step 8: the cookie dough is sticky, but be very stingy with the flour on the work surface. Otherwise the granulated sugar won't stick to it properly.Layer the cookie dough and bread dough in the same way with the same sides down. Recipe by MeguBroaden

Please adjust the baking temperature and time depending on your oven. Recipe by itarunrun
Melon Bread With Custard Cream Filling
I thought that putting custard inside melon bread would be delicious! So that's what I did.When you are wrapping the custard into the dough, be sure not to roll out the dough too thinly or the custard will come out of the bread when you bake it. Be careful! For 10. Recipe by EnjoyKitchen

Crocodile-Shaped Melon Bread in the Microwave
When I tried making turtle-shaped bread I noticed that if the body was a bit longer it would look like a crocodile so I tried to make it that way.This recipe uses the same amount of dough for a crocodile as it would take for a turtle so it's possible to make 3 of each from this recipe.The ingredient amounts and way of kneading for this bread are the same is in the referral recipe. The thing about this recipe is that you can arrange the later steps how you want. I recommend making all the feet at once and then sticking everything together in one go. If you're making them with someone else put one person in charge of feet and things will go much faster. If you can't be bothered to make the pattern on the crocodiles back you can try making a lattice pattern with a knife instead. Recipe by Chibato

So Cute! Turtle-Shaped Melon Bread
I've made lots of turtle-shaped melon bread before, usually with live yeast but this time I wanted to write an easier recipe that uses more orthodox ingredients. This recipe took a lot of effort but I just really wanted to see my little turtle army at the end.It's going to take a lot of effort to shape these turtles but please try and get it done as quickly as possible! When creating the lattice pattern it's better to make shallow cuts. If they're too deep, the shell can crack. If you don't fix the head and feet on properly with egg whites then they will most likely come off whilst baking. You can use icing instead of white chocolate for the eyes if you prefer. Recipe by Asaemon
Tofu Mock-Melon Bread
I took some leftover tofu and mixed it with some pancake mix!!The color kind of looked like melon bread, so I made it in the shape of melon bread and make pseudo melon bread.When you mix the dough with a rubber spatula, it will look floury, but if you properly knead it with your hands, it will come together just fine. Recipe by Chi-zusan
Pancake Mix Matcha Melon Bread

Turtle-Shaped Melon Bread in the Microwave
I realizeded that although I've made a lot of different melon bread recipes, I haven't made a traditional turtle one! There's probably a lot of these recipes around but I thought I would upload mine as well anyway.When it's hot both the cookie and bread dough will tend to get a bit soft. Even though it's annoying, keep the pieces you don't currently need refrigerated so that they keep their shape.Transfer to a baking tray as soon as you have scored the turtle shells. Make sure there is plenty of space between each turtle. The turtles will most likely fall apart if you try to move them onto the baking tray after assembly so I don't recommend this way. Recipe by Chibato
Melon Bread-Style Avocado Cookies
I based this recipe on a recipe for kabocha squash cookies. I avoided butter and eggs and instead used vegetable oil to highlight the taste and the color of the avocado. The result is a healthy cookie well-flavored with avocado. The pretty color, together with the melon bread shape, makes this a very charming treat.While these cookies are very easy to make, they use a special baking technique.I came up with this technique in order to allow the cookies to retain their pretty color and to brown nicely.Please watch the oven carefully and adjust the baking time and temperature to suit your oven.

Ultra-Fast Just Like Melon Bread
I thought they might look like melon bread if I sprinkled granulated sugar on my usual mini bread.Since the dough is soft, it's easier to handle it if you wet your hands when forming into balls. When you're using store-bought pancake mix, you don't need vanilla extract. Recipe by Pekuchin

Honey Apple Bread
Our family just loves super soft and slightly sweet bread. So I decided to wrap in some apples and honey.Seal the sides quickly during Step 6 and proceed to the next, since if you take too much time doing so, the honey will start to come out. If the bread doesn't come out easily at Step 10, take it out after inserting a knife between the bread and mold. This bread might also rise quite a bit, so check up on it starting around 15 minutes into baking and place an aluminum foil up top if necessary. Recipe by caramel-cookie

Twisted Cream Bread
What if I used a little bit of custard cream to make cream bread??Since there is cream rolled into the bread, it's quite fluffy when it's baked.When removing it from the pan, be careful not to make it fall apart.It's safest to line the pan with baking paper or grease with shortening.I didn't line the pan with anything this time and had some trouble getting the bread out.
