Victorian milk bread originated in Japan, where it is known as Shokupan, and it has quickly become popular in many countries. It is a popular bread because it has a soft and fluffy texture and is mildly sweet. This bread is versatile and can be enjoyed at any time of the day as a toast or sandwich bread. The texture of this bread is due to the use of milk, which makes it moist and soft, making it perfect for any occasion.
