After trying out this super easy bread recipe, I just don’t buy bread anymore because it’s so easy. This Shokupan bread recipe makes soft as cloud bread that melt it your mouth. It can stay soft for days. My family can’t get enough of it because it’s perfect for any types of sandwiches and especially French toast.
