Prepare the Yeast Mixture: In a bowl, mix 150ml warm milk, 25g white sugar, and 3g active dry yeast.

Add 1 egg and mix well. Let it sit for 5 minutes to activate the yeast.

Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine 300g all-purpose or bread flour and 3g salt. Mix well.

Pour the yeast mixture into the flour mixture and knead the dough with your hands until combined.

Add 30g softened unsalted butter to the dough and continue to knead until the surface is smooth and elastic.

Rest the Dough: Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Prepare the Baking Pan: Grease a 20cm diameter baking pan with 5g unsalted butter.

Shape the Dough: After resting, cut and divide the dough into 8 equal parts.

Take each piece of dough and shape it as desired.

Place the shaped dough pieces into the greased baking pan.

Repeat until all dough pieces are shaped and placed in the pan.

Second Rise: Cover the baking pan and let the dough rise until it doubles in size.

Steam the Bread (Option 1): Bring 600ml of water to a boil in a steamer.

Place the baking pan with the risen dough into the steamer.

Steam for 35-40 minutes on medium heat.

After steaming, turn off the heat and let it sit for 5 minutes.

Remove the bread from the pan and place it on a rack to cool.

Bake the Bread (Option 2): Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).

Take 10ml of egg and brush it on the surface of the dough for an egg wash.

Bake the bread for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

After baking, remove the bread from the pan using a cup and place it on a rack to cool.
