Instructions Of Making Japanese Cheese Bread

1. Prepare Cheese-Milk Mixture
   Heat UHT milk and grated cheddar in a pan until melted. Cool and chill before using in dough.
2. Make Dough
   Combine all dry ingredients and eggs from Dough 1. Slowly add the chilled milk-cheese mixture. Knead until half smooth.
3. Add Butter & Salt
   Mix in butter and salt from Dough 2. Continue kneading until the dough is smooth, elastic, and passes the “windowpane test.”
4. First Proofing
   Cover dough and rest for about 1 hour, until it doubles in size.
5. Shape & Fill
   Punch down, divide (approx. 80g per portion), flatten, fill with grated cheese mixture, seal, and shape. Place in paper cups or baking tray.
6. Second Proofing
   Cover and let rise again until doubled (30–45 minutes).
7. Final Touches
   Brush with egg wash, add cheese slices or toppings of choice.
8. Bake
   Preheat oven to 180–190°C (356–374°F). Bake for 15–20 minutes or until golden brown.
9. Finishing
   While still warm, brush the tops with butter or margarine for a shiny finish.
