In Korea, we call it Honey Bread and it’s often served with whipped cream or ice cream (great minds!) on top and syrup. So satisfying to have it with a cup of black americano. 🤤

[@CupcakeJemma]

That sounds absolutely delicious, especially with the Americano!

[@catherinestevens7551]

I’m in the middle of making my loaf at the moment. I proofed it overnight in the fridge and now it’s shaped and having its final proof before baking. I’ve done a variation, one of third rolls I covered in a layer of cinnamon, sugar with a little bit of softened unsalted butter before folding and rolling. My son saw the clip advertised on KZbin and asked me to make it for him. We lived in Hong Kong where there are a lot of Japanese style bakeries and milk bread was his favourite thing.

[@CupcakeJemma]

Oh that sounds absolutely delightful!

[@zacharywong483]

That looks absolutely delicious!

[@StevenPerry]

I kinda want to go savory with that and make some garlic bread. That bread is so soft and fluffy inside! 🤤

[@CupcakeJemma]

Oh man, a soft pillowy garlic bread would be SO good with this loaf!

[@gillycaswell236]

You are so entertaining to watch. I've been a fan of yours since the beginning still as great to watch!

[@CupcakeJemma]

You're the best! 💖

[@heidid5275]

Mmmmm, looks fantastic!

[@cman996]

Had old homemade French bread that needed to be used, so I whipped some up for breakfast, me and my wife love it!!!

[@fdfgsa]

Looks amazing! I am going to make this tomorrow.

[@metislamestiza3708]

Jemma - whip some cream and add some fruit - oh and maple syrup to up the ante - this looks DIVINE

[@CupcakeJemma]

YES

[@nazreenchowdhury4114]

I love seeing your cake making a lot

[@CupcakeJemma]

Thanks so much 😊

[@Jerisa]

I'm going to try this with brioche bread ❤

[@CupcakeJemma]

Sounds great! I hope you enjoy it! 💖

[@jenniferdeanne6725]

Cupcake Jemma is art! 😍

[@amyp2811]

I went to Arome bakery earlier this month and this was one of the best things I've eaten. I brought a loaf of shokupan from Chinatown then brought it back home to recreate however I don't think the slices were thick enough to have the same effect. Thank you for sharing these recipes I'm definitely going to try and make this myself! The extra crunchy failure was eaten with ice cream and not wasted.

[@CupcakeJemma]

We love Arôme Bakery SO much

[@lisayerace6117]

Haha! I haven’t heard that since I was a child! “Crust makes your hair curly”! Cute! This looks AMAZING! ❤

[@CupcakeJemma]

LOL is it not true 👀😂

[@MommyOfZoeAndLiam]

I don't understand the logic behind that saying.

[@mmakomanyatja5213]

I seen it I love it do much thank you very much Jemma may you grow more the lord bless your family

[@me.cooking.adventures]

Looks absolutely amazing, delicious and tempting, Loved it 🥰❤❤

[@CupcakeJemma]

Thank you so much 😊

[@EyenBlack]

Omg I just tried it with my last slice of toast I had around. Omg its so delicious. Imagine adding custard cream, cream cheese and fruits... Omg love it

[@CupcakeJemma]

Sounds like a delicious, indulgent breakfast 😍

[@Lettuce-and-Tomatoes]

I was thinking about ice cream sandwiches, but since you mentioned them at the end, I’ll suggest using this bread for a ham and cheese sandwich or a patty melt (which is a cheeseburger on grilled bread for those who aren’t familiar). Excellent video, Jemma!!! Your fried doughnut video from years ago is currently at the top of my cooking To Do list!!!

[@CupcakeJemma]

A patty melt with this bread would be 10/10!

[@blksteve11]

I’m defiantly gonna make this

[@hudarasbi4893]

Looks Amazing!! Please please re-create their vanilla chocolate brioche, especially their filling is amazing 😍🫢

[@scoleho]

Tried the honey butter toast recently and it has inspired me to make shokupan... currently proving in the fridge. Thank you for the recipe, i'll try this out too 😊

[@CupcakeJemma]

I hope you love it!!

[@kasiasbakes8273]

Oh yeah, that look so yummy 😋! Must try it! 💖

[@CupcakeJemma]

Hope you enjoy!

[@crystaldance5731]

Aah you’re so true to your word Jemma looks delicious I’ve not really been successful making bread I guess I’ll have to keep practicing thankyou Jemma ❤️😊

[@CupcakeJemma]

Practice makes perfect! It gets easier, I promise!

[@fdfgsa]

I made it, it was a 10/10. Thanks!

[@CupcakeJemma]

Glad you liked it!

[@TheTrumpReaper]

This is bread candy. Before seeing this video I wasn't aware that there was such a thing. 🤤

[@humblebeginnings5131]

Yum! Need to make this. I bet adding some cinnamon or nutmeg or cardamom would be delicious too!

[@user-tj6mw9ii2s]

Made this today and i top it off with some cream cheese, blueberries, and maple syrup. Super yummy!

[@Terri_MacKay]

That sounds delicious!!

[@markdodson1607]

So, I'm the one who said I use milk bread for their rolls. WHAT if you used the honey butter as the roll filling.....then you could make a creme anglaise for dipping as opposed to a frosting or icing for them?? Boom! You'd have your ice cream sandwich anyone regardless of teeth sensitivity could enjoy. I wonder if that could work?? 🤔

[@frama1122]

Sounds delish! Would love to try but I can’t bake to save my life

[@CupcakeJemma]

I'm sure that would absolutely work and tbh, I really want to eat that 😂👌🏼

[@markdodson1607]

@@CupcakeJemma I'm off work from the boring job today. I kinda wish now I had made a batch of dough last night to test this out. 😁

[@smileygirl6457]

I have no words.🤤🤤

[@Stephen_Lafferty]

This looks like cartoon toast from heaven! I'm inspired to have a go at the bread/toast recipe myself! :D

[@CupcakeJemma]

Haha it tastes like that too!

[@knightsofneeech]

A nice way for me to use a little bit left of my 1.5kg shokupan I make. Thanks for the nice dessert idea and would love more like this

[@CupcakeJemma]

Sounds like a great idea!

[@dianashomebaked2422]

We've been doing this for a long time. Butter then brown sugar then toasted in a pan. We do this because we don't have budget to buy jams or other spreads when we we're small kids way back. (Philippines)

[@tommybrown8845]

Looks absolutely amazing, definitely shouldn't be making those for a breakfast/brunch but I will. 😂

[@CupcakeJemma]

Haha a little treat every now and then won't hurt 😏

[@macaoron]

Shokupan is also what's used for Hong Kong-style French toast, would love to see you guys try and make it!

[@renees766]

Easy recipe? Put butter on 1 side of your bread of choice, sprinkle with white or brown sugar, put in oven on Broil until golden brown. OR butter 1 side of bread, put in oven on Broil until golden brown, add honey to the top & eat. Both are delicious n super easy. I thought that's what this vid was gonna be when I first read the title 😊

[@biswajitsaha5737]

Yummy 🤤

[@SuperFuzzmonkey]

Get well soon

[@ChrisMasto]

Just in the spirit of scientific inquiry... hypothetically, if anyone wondered if, faced with a snack emergency, you could do this with a piece of whole wheat supermarket sandwich bread, I can confirm it does not explode or anything and is quite delicious. I imagine the thicker bread isn't just for the fluffiness, I'm sure it balances out the intense sweetness better.

[@Gemma6043]

We need a double baked pistachio raspberry croissant pleaseeee

[@emilyorter3661]

I am new here, really lovely video. I need to try that out.

[@CupcakeJemma]

Welcome to the gang! 💖

[@johnd3185]

Looking forward to using that spread recipe on some challah bread from a baker friend

[@CupcakeJemma]

YES!

[@becca3366]

Desperate to eat this but I’m gluten free so trying to decide if the bread recipe would work GF 😬 or what the best GF bread would be to add the topping to! 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@jerihurd]

Those were a bit disappointing. Bread was fine, but when I made the toast, the outer coating was only crunchy around the crust. While it passed what Chef John calls the "fork test," the white bread part was more chewy than crisp on the outside, if that makes sense. Not sure how to trouble shoot that. I tried a second round, spreading the paste more thinly, but didn't really change anything. UPDATE: Ha! What do I know? I took them to work and everybody told me "Save that recipe." One woman came to me in tears to thank me for making them, saying it reminded her of her childhood. So there you go. I stand corrected.

[@MommyOfZoeAndLiam]

Sort of like making a grilled cheese sandwich golden brown and crunchy, you want a slightly lower temp for longer and then you want to take take them out and flip them onto a rack to cool so they don't steam underneath and become soft.

[@nicolehuff8455]

It's so sweet that you reminded that dear woman of her childhood. That's great 😊

[@ericcagnassi368]

Hi ! Did you bake it with or without fan?

[@ian1785]

Not sure what Jemma did hers on, but I did non fan in a Pullman tin and it came out beautiful 🍞😋

[@Catten_whisperer]

I made it by pan frying it and it is better than

[@ypcomchic]

I would just melt the butter honey sugar mixture and dip the bread in it. Same result.

[@krireshin]

If you are in America you can buy Texas toast bread for this if you can't find milk bread

[@phranerphamily]

I bet Texas Toast would be a quick cheat for this treat

[@lepetitchat123]

Can i pan fry these instead

[@craig5066]

Maple syrup and cinnamon instead of the honey would be my go to.

[@janerobison]

This is delicious. However, I was expecting to it to come out of the oven crispy...noooo..... I baked and baked it about double the time until it was vaguely crispy. Then I realised that it goes crispy when it cools. The coating is essentially a caramel that hardens as it cools. It's best eaten cold.

[@pineshimmer]

❤

[@pineshimmer]

ok, making these in the morning. bread is ready to go!

[@CupcakeJemma]

Woohoo! Enjoy 😊

[@pineshimmer]

@@CupcakeJemma even the cat enjoyed it 😻

[@msCandelicius]

I see this with camembert cheese, garlic confit and rosemary

[@AsabiG]

I’m lazy, so I just bought a couple of loaves of shokupan and will make the honey butter to go on it. 😅🤣🤣

[@CupcakeJemma]

That is a plan and tbh, I rate it. Why make the bread if you don't need to!

[@rmdebora]

I would take the honey out 😊

[@CupcakeJemma]

But it adds such a lovely flavour! You do you though!

[@PWingert1966]

Yeah it looks nice but ot get the recipe is hard since it is locked behind a paywall o the site.

We need a recipe for toast with honey

[@CupcakeJemma]

Well Shelle, I think we might just have the recipe for you.. 👀

[@TheJackdanielsen]

170° C? Or F?

I love you

[@ellec.5101]

I like straight hair though 😭

[@CupcakeJemma]

Haha!

[@cheryl5994]

IT L👀KS SO DRY THOUGH, IT DEFINITELY NEEDS A DRIZZLE & HEAP OF SOMETHING.

[@wodezhu]

It's nice but way too sweet..I cut the sugar and honey in half and its still too sweet..

[@xtrnisse]

If this is a "very, very easy bread", what's a difficult bread? And here I thought an easy bread was flour, water, salt and yeast...

[@CupcakeJemma]

This is true - a lot of people are a bit intimidated making bread - what may be super simple to some, might be quite difficult to others!

[@andrewpowell1734]

First.

[@UmmEss]

Toasted with your daughter? How did you cook your daughter though? 😬

[@CupcakeJemma]

LOL obviously no Eden's were harmed - she had toast.. she wasn't toasted!
