Instructions
  1. FOR TANGZHONG – In a pan add plain flour, whole milk, and water, bring to boil. Stir continuously at low heat until you get a thick paste. Keep aside to cool.
  2. Sift together the flour and salt, keep aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the tangzhong with all the other ingredients except flour mixture and butter. Add sifted flour mixture and mix well. Once the dough is formed add butter and knead until smooth and elastic. This will take about 30 minutes.
  3. Transfer the dough into a greased bowl. Cover and let it rest for about 2 hours or until doubled.
  4. Knead again for about 5 minutes and divide the dough into 8 balls. Place the balls on a 9 inch round baking pan. Cover and let it rest for about 1 hour or until doubled.
