I created this recipe because I'm hooked on baking steamed bread.

A hint is to wrap the steamer lid with cloth. When the bread cools, wrap with plastic wrap to keep at room temperature. It would be very delicious on the next day even if you make the bread a day before you go out for cherry-blossom viewing. Recipe by Asamato

It would be great to pack the bread in a bamboo lunchbox like this and bring it to cherry-blossom-viewing.
