After I had tried almost 3 kinds of recipe, this recipe really comes out really soft and fluffy without any bread improver or bread softener. The most important things are you need to knead it very well and the liquid temperature has to just 65C / 150F. This recipe is making this buns with bread machine but I don't have one. So I used my electric mixer with the dough attachment. This recipe is actually from Happy Homebaker.
This is the dough that been double size and I rolled it to small buns. Let it sit for at 60 minutes or more (depends to the house temperature) to final prove in double size.
This is what it look like after the final proving double in size and it's ready to go in the oven to bake.
After tasting the bun, I decided to make some serikaya for it.
You can see how soft and fluffy it looks. It even stayed soft after the next day.
