Milk bread is pretty much just like it sounds — bread that’s made with milk, though it’s not that simple. It’s a yeast dough enriched with butter, sugar, and egg. But what really sets it apart is an ancient Japanese technique, called tangzhong, which makes for extremely tender, fluffy, lighter-than-air bread. Once you make the dough and let it rise, all you need to do is decide how you want to shape it — into a standard loaf, dinner rolls or clover leaf rolls.
