Japanese Milk Hearth Bread, crusty and soft bread

“Happiness is the smell of freshly baked bread”

 

Yes… our favorite is freshly bread.

Thankful that I have so many bread recipe on the internet. Try, fail, try again…

 

Lately, I was tried to bake one of the famous Japanese bread. Milk Hearth Bread.

This is the simplest version of crusty chewy artisan bread. Just use straight forward kneading method, quick and easy ! Sprinkle it with bread flour and score it ….  you can feel be like a Sourdough baker…

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can score some low-to-mid hydration dough after shaping. I made with simple pattern.

 

 

Crusty outside like artisan bread, but soft inside. You can enjoy your bread with butter and peanut butter on the top. 

I made this bread many times and trying many variations.

 

 

                                                                With some seeds

 

                                                         Kiddos fave… chocolateeeee.....

 

 

 

 

I am sure that you will like the texture. So soft and good… You shall try it with smoked beef and cheese.. Yum!
