- Incorporate the Tangzhong mixture and knead with the remaining ingredients (sugar, salt, milk powder, 290 g of high protein bread flour, and yeast) until the dough is silky and smooth.
- Add the softened unsalted butter, and continue kneading until the dough is elastic and passes the windowpane test.

- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.

- Bake the dough until golden brown.
