The Hokkaido Milk Loaf has apparently been the rage of baking bloggers some time ago, and it has been in my 'to-try-list' for awhile. Finally, i have made it. This bread is fragrant and cottony soft, it is a 'can't-stop-at-one-slice' deliciousness! Extra good when fresh out of the oven and a favorite for those who like their bread sweet.

Oh yum! I loved the Hokkaido milk dome from BreadTalk! Especially nice dipped in hot green milk tea. Mmmm.. I want to make some of this soon! :)

sure you can use the cake mixer.
invest in a breadmachine, it is worth it, sayang the kitchenaid. Visit your goodwill or trift stores and you could get a bargain especially when they have 50% off day. I bought 4 breadmachines already and they only costed about 3 - 5 usd.

i baked this on friday and it is still soft today.
oh, this is my all time fav. bread....now I eat bread for breakfast, for lunch and for dinner....no kidding...I even ate two slices of bread this afternoon as a snack....
p.s. you've changed the blog layout and background....I always love to try different layouts and templates....
Lily, this looks wonderful. Thanks for the tip about inexpensive bread machines.
So you have changed a new template. No wonder the last few days, your blog has been pretty messed up. I was like something must be going on. Hehe...
Aunty,
I love your blog, always delicious looking pics, and I also have tried some of your recipes, usually turned out great, thanks for sharing. What is whipping cream, if cannot find, what can I replace with, and also how long should I put the ingrs for bread if I use Kitchenaid mixer, unfortunately do not have bread machine. Thanks again, much appreciated....Susie

Heavy cream, also called heavy whipping cream, is whipping cream with a milk fat content of between 36 and 40 percent. Whipping cream will double in volume when whipped. Heavy cream is not the same as the British double cream. Double cream has 48% butterfat, 8% higher than the highest-fat cream available in the United States. To sub, look for cream that has 36 - 40 percent milk fat.
If you are using a kitchenaid stand mixer, hold back a cup of flour and mix the rest of the ingredients without the butter and using the paddle, beat the batter until it forms spider-web like texture, then add in the butter and the rest of the flour. As soon as it clears the bowl, change to the dough hook and knead dough until a tiny piece can be stretch out with breaking. Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and let double proof until double it's size.
Continue following the recipe.
Hi Lily, your Hokaido bread so white..and soft. Mine turn to yellowish, do you know the reason ?? TQ, Joan
joan
it could be the brand of the bread flour, milk powder or the egg used - a free range egg has a very yellow yolk.
Hi aunty, can I use thickened cream instead? It has 35% milk fat.
My bread came out very dense.
Aunty Lily, yr recipes never fails me....I baked the bread last week after I made the crysanthemum jelly. I like the texture of the bread very much! Thanks again! Loretta
Hello Lily,
Is instant yeast same as the active dry yeast?
pei
pei
no instant yeast would be the same as rapid rise yeast.
active dry yeast needs to be activated - letting it foam first before using
Thank you for posting it in U.S. standard measurement (cups,tbsp,tsps...). Now I have a reason to take out my dust-covered bread machine. I'll check out your other breads. Thanks again.
Hi Lily,
I tried this recipe on monday and my bread turned out dense not like yours looking soft n fluffy. why is that so"?
As I did not have a bread machine, i used kitchenaid as u have suggested earlier. However, in ur suggestion, u mentioned to hold the butter. According to your recipe, butter was not used. what should I be holding back? the whipped cream, which i did ..
is the dough supposed to feel sticky when proofing and after?
Hope to hear from u soon, thanks.
P.S. could i use choc flavoured milk? libratoh

i am so sorry about the error. most bread has butter or oil but unfortunately this bread has not and uses whipped cream.
in this case, put all the ingredients in the mixer but hold back a cup of flour, beat with k beater until spiderweb consistency, then slowly add in the rest of the flour. Change to the dough hook and knead until dough is elastic and silky. take a tiny ball and check for balloon stage = that is stretch the dough to see if it does not break while stretching
Dear,
May i seek your advice on what brand of bread machine to purchase?
They are so many choices in the market.I would like to get one ASAP to try out your lovely sharing recipes...
Thank you....
anonymous
i don't know which brand is available where you are. There is no need to buy an expensive machine cos i use the machine for kneading mostly and i don't need all the other functions, therefore get one with basic functions. If you are in the United States, i would suggest getting one from Goodwill or thrift stores.
Dear Lily,
Thank you for your prompy reply.
Im currently in malaysia.
There are several brands such as kenwood,panasonic and others....
Thank you for advicing on getting a simple machine for kneading....I will try to get one ASAP and try out ur lovely recipes.
Hoping for a good outcome.
See ya.
dear lily,
5fl oz whipping cream is equal to how many gm/ml?
Thank you.
anonymous
5 fl oz should be 150 ml
Can you let me know how many lbs setting did you use for the bread macine. 2 lbs or 1.1/2 lbs setting?
Per your advise, I got a used breadmaker and can't wait to try this bread!
veronica
it really depends on the bowl size of your machine - if you are having a bowl that can make a 2 lb bread, then you can certainly use this machine to make this bread which is 1 1/2 lbs
HI Lily, can all purpose flour be substituted for bread flour? I saw on the Robin flour site that these two can be sub 1 for 1 but many comments on the web says no. I wonder if it is b/c diff place has diff names. Is it ok to sub APF for BF in the states?
Thanks!
leanne
i have used all-purpose flour bleached or unbleached for making sweet bread and i prefer the texture which is less sticky to the teeth cos all-purpose has less gluten. But for making loaf bread, i would recommend using bread flour or high gluten flour.
