10 servings
For the tangzhong
- 3 tbsp bread flour
- ½ cup whole milk
For the dough
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
Ingredient noteLow histamine diets often flag yeast because of its association with fermentation, but baker's yeast is a fresh cultured leavening that does not carry the pre-formed histamine of aged or fermented foods, and the small amount used to raise dough adds little. It is likely fine here. If you prefer to always avoid active dry yeast, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ cup warm whole milk (about 110°f / 43°c)
- 2 ½ cups bread flour
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp fine salt
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened and cut into pieces
For the egg wash
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tbsp whole milk
Instructions
- 1
Make the tangzhong: whisk together the 3 tbsp bread flour and 1/2 cup milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a smooth, pudding-like paste and leaves a trail when you drag a spatula across the bottom, about 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.

Combine the yeast and 1/4 cup warm milk in the bowl of a stand mixer and let stand until foamy, about 5–10 minutes.
