Hokkaido Milky Loaf

I found this on the internet, so not mine:

Hokkaido Milky Loaf

270g Bread Flour
30g Cake Flour
5g yeast
15g milk powder
40g sugar
4g salt
1/2 egg
125ml milk
75ml whipping cream


Double it up to get a full size loaf. I was horrified at the amount of sugar so reduced it by a factor of 10.

Cake flour doesn't exist in the UK so I used 3/4 plain flour and 1/4 corn flour as a bit of research seemed to suggest.

A really nice soft loaf, with the extra sugar almost like a brioche perhaps?. Without the extra sugar, a definite hit.

I'm assuming that's the white cornflour that we get here (I think that the US call it cornstarch) rather than the yellow polenta type?

Yes, apparently cake flour has a low gluten content, so the corn flour acts to dilute it out a bit.

If I feel brave I'll try it with the full amount of sugar one day :)

Thanks Dave - I'll give this a go when I've got some cream going spare.
