Critical Success Points

  • Cooking the tangzhong to the correct thickness (≈65 °C).
  • Kneading until the dough passes the window‑pane test.
  • Incorporating soft butter without melting it.
  • First proof until the dough doubles in size.
  • Final proof before baking to achieve a fluffy crumb.

Safety Warnings

  • Tangzhong mixture is hot; handle the saucepan with oven mitts.
  • The oven reaches high temperatures; use heat‑proof gloves when removing the tray.
  • Do not touch the dough immediately after baking; it retains heat.
