The Japanese are known for their fluffy Hokkaido milky bread so i decided to try out their recipe. But no no no, i'm never kneading bread with my tiny hands again 😞. This kneading gave me emergency muscles 💪. Only with electric mixer henceforth. Nonetheless, if you have hopes of representing Nigeria at the next Olympics, then be my guest! (lol). Although i'm glad to have had the experience of hand kneading bread 😁. This here is the result of my first FLUFFY MILK BREAD!!
( if you can't get cake flour, you can make a substitute cake flour... measure 1 cup of all purpose flour, remove 2 tablespoons from the 1 cup and add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch/cornflour to the 1 cup. Then sieve the mix up to 5 times).

Tips:
(steam bake for the first 15minutes)
As you preheat your oven, place your oven bake pan in the oven and add water to it. Let it heat up with your oven. Then place your bread in the oven after the oven reaches desired baking temperature. After 15minutes, remove the pan with water gently and quickly and let the bread continue baking until the top gets lightly browned and the bread feels hollow when you gently tap on-top

And i learnt that, darker colored nonstick baking pan would give you darker baked goods than lighter shades of nonstick bake pan.
