I am obsessed with Japanese cuisine. Besides sushi, I love their bread and pastry as well. I am learning to bake more Japanese goods lately.
Have you ever have a Japanese milk roll? It tastes a little bit similar to a Hawaiian roll. I love it because it is soft, not too sweet and a perfect side dish or snack for us.
I am actually very surprised how easy it is to make these. You only need a few ingredients.Â
After you try the recipe below, you don’t need to go to the bakery to buy these anymore. It’s super easy.
