I have seen so many people starting to make such creative recipes with the pandemic keeping everyone indoors. One of the top things people have been learning is the skill of making bread at home. Lucky for me, my hubby has had this hobby for about six years now. We can’t even stand to have bread from the grocery now as his is so much more flavorful.
One of the recipes I ask him to make is a lovely sweet bread with white chocolate. What an indulgent treat it is. That was my favorite until this sweet milk bread recipe. You guys know how much I love travel. It has been so difficult not being able to travel during this time. So, a way for me to quasi travel during this time is to research new places and of course all the food I want to try when I visit a destination. Japan has been on my bucket list for quite a while and I love this Japanese milk bread recipe. I mean cherries and almonds? How good does that sound?
This Milk Bread recipe is so delicious you will be wondering making it all the time, especially when you have company for dinner! Plus you can sub different fruits or nuts and change it up for a tasty variety.
Ingredients For the milk bread dough:

Ingredients for this Japanese milk bread are relatively inexpensive
1 and 1/2 C all-purpose flour plus 5 tbsp extra
2 TBSP sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 TSP active dry yeast
2/3 C warm milk 105-115 F
2 TBSP condensed milk or 37 grams, at room temperature
2 TBSP softened butter or 28 grams
Condensed milk filling:
2 TBSP softened butter or 28 grams
2 TBSP condensed milk or 37 grams, at room temperature
8-10 pieces maraschino cherries drained
2 TBSP raisins
1 TBSP sliced almonds
Chopped cherries for garnish
Blanched almonds for garnish
Directions for this unique milk bread dessert:

Make sure you have time to allow dough to rise
In a large mixing bowl, stir together 1 teaspoon of the sugar, the warm milk, and the yeast.
Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
Add 1 and 1/2 cups of flour, the remaining sugar, salt, condensed milk, and butter, then use a wooden spoon to stir the ingredients together.
Gradually sprinkle some of the reserved flour, a little at a time, to help with the stickiness.
Keep stirring until a soft, sticky dough gathers in the center of the bowl.
You may not need the entire reserved flour at this point.
Generously flour a working board using the remaining flour.
Turn the dough over onto the board.
Knead the dough for 6-10 minutes, dusting more flour in the board and in your hands as needed.
Once the dough is smooth and elastic, shape it into a ball and place in a bowl.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise for 1 and 1/2 hours.
While the dough is rising, make the condensed milk filling. Stir together softened butter and condensed milk until it turns into a paste.
It is important that the butter is very soft and the condensed milk is at room temperature.

The milk filling should be a paste consistency
Butter a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
Punch the dough down and roll it into a 12 x 8 inch rectangle.
Spread the condensed milk filling across the surface of the dough.
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough vertically into 4 sections, forming 4 long strips.
Stack the strips together, the filling side up.
Cut the stacked dough into 8 sections.
You now have 8 stacked rectangular dough portions.
Arrange the dough portions in the greased loaf pan, with the long sides of the dough facing up. It is fine if a small space is vacant in the pan, it will be filled up once the dough rises. Let it rise for about an hour, covered loosely with a kitchen towel.
Preheat oven to 325 F. Top the dough with raisins, sliced almonds and maraschino cherries.

Sprinkle almonds and cherries on top of the milk bread. But you could sub other fruit or nuts if you like!
Bake the bread at 325 F for 20 minutes, then lower the temperature to 300 then bake for 10-12 minutes more, or until the bread is golden.
Sprinkle the cherries and blanched almonds for garnish.

Thanks for taking the time to review us. We’re actually hitting our 6 year anniversary this month, and work with over 60 restaurants throughout our delivery area. What restaurants are available to a particular zip code is based upon distance from the restaurant to ensure food is delivered hot and fresh.
As for grocery items, I’m not sure which items cost double on our site versus what you’d pay in the store — we actually try to keep those prices as close to what you’d pay in the store as we can while still covering our costs. While you may not see value behind offering things like movies, groceries or office supplies for delivery in an hour, it’s something that a good percentage of our customers take advantage of. Grocery happens to be fastest expanding section of the site, as we’ve seen the demand for frozen meals and dry goods rapidly increase over the past year.
I apologize if our terms of service come across in any way as harsh. That certainly wasn’t the intention and we’ll edit to make it more friendly. It’s a fine, and difficult, line to walk between being totally “legalese” (and hence worthless because no one reads it), versus keeping it plain English and terse.
Thanks again for the review and comments. Hopefully one day soon we’ll service your area too!
Damn Malika you are one cheap fuck..lol.. when I order a lrg pizza for say $12.00 I would tip the guy around 5.00 to $7.00 that’s how they make their living you fool and be generous
