This super soft and fluffy milk bread with nice earthy green tea flavour.

The Yudane / Tangzhong (water roux) which is a paste made with flour, water or milk that is added to the bread mixture to bring the perfect texture.

There are two ways can be used to make the water roux.
🍞 One of them is called Yudane method which mixes bread flour with boiled water or milk to be the roux (paste).
🍞 The other one is named Tangzhong method that cooks the flour and water or milk into a paste (roux).

Those two kinds of methods will give the bread super soft and light texture, and make the bread stay fresh longer.

I add a little Japanese green tea powder in half of the dough. It creates a nice natural , and incredible Matcha flavour! 👍😋

In this recipe, l use Tangzhong method.
