Braided Matcha Streusel Milk Bread

Another Matcha Bread which caught my attention!  The original recipe uses red bean paste as the filling, but I am using Matcha Streusel instead, being a huge fan of Matcha ~ SMILE ~

In October 2023, I baked this Yummy Matcha Streusel Bread, and love the delicious filling.  So, for this Braided Matcha Milk Bread, I decided to use the same filling, but with a smaller portion as listed below:

70 g. unsalted butter

27 g. caster sugar

20 g. whole egg

34 g. cake flour

47 g. milk powder

4 g. Matcha powder

Let me share some photos captured throughout the process of baking this delicious Braided Matcha Streusel Milk Bread.
