Salted Butter Rolls

The moment I started making Japanese milk bread, I knew I was hooked on Japanese bread making. I love how soft and fluffy the bread is, and the endless variety of shapes and fillings that you can combine. One shape I am particulary fond of are these croissant-shaped buns, called Salted Butter Rolls (or shio pan in Japanese) because the whole bun is wrapped around a piece of salted butter. As the buns bake, the butter melts into the bread rolls, giving the buns are buttery flavour from within, as well as a crispy bottom from the caramelised butter. They are utterly delicious!

Soft Bread Rolls

As a child, my parents owned a busy bakery in Australia. Like many Vietnamese businesses, it was open 7 days a week, 365 days a year. When I wasn’t at school, you could find me earning my pocket money at the bakery, whether serving customers behind the counters, slicing and bagging loaves of bread, decorating the “easy” cakes, or sweeping up breadcrumbs (an endless, fruitless task).

Japanese Red Bean Buns

My first encounter with Japanese baked goods was, surprisingly, here in Zurich. Having constant access to delicious cakes and pastries of Swiss, French, Italian and German origins is a luxury I never take for granted. But one day, I came across some baked pastries from a local Japanese baker, Hiro Takahashi, and I was intrigued because, although I had grown up eating Chinese cakes and pastries, I had never tried Japanese baked goods before.
