Eric Kim’s Fluffy Maple Milk Bread | NYT Cooking

Get the recipe:

“You can take comfort in knowing that someone who has never made bread before is the person who developed this recipe, which means you can probably do it, too.” Eric Kim is back! He’s in the studio kitchen showing us how to make his Maple Milk Bread recipe, which appears in Eric’s new cookbook, “Korean American: Food That Tastes Like Home.” It’s inspired by the milk breads found in Asian bakeries, but Eric’s recipe is distinguished by maple syrup and a sturdier crumb.

  1. Whoa, Eric! So awesome to see you with the New York Times 👏 Living the dream! And fyi, for anyone who doesn't know, Eric is also an amazing singer/songwriter. Can't wait for the day the NYT features you as a musician 🤞😁

  2. Need more content from Eric! I feel like I’m in the kitchen with a close friend showing me how to bake bread and we’re bonding over our cultures. Such a comforting experience ❤️

  3. This video is so sweet, I was smiling through the whole thing. I love the point about how bakeries are so special because it's also something you take home with you. I'm looking forward to making this recipe!

  4. This was a perfect video moment and recipe. Liked Eric almost as much as he liked himself. I'll will now be making my first milk bread.

  5. I just made this. It was very easy and produces a wonderful, slightly sweet bread. The only difference from the recipe is that it took 60 minutes in a 350 degree (convection) oven.

  6. Love this video. You seem so sweet!! ❤️❤️ I want to make this. It looks SO GOOD!! You said Korean bakeries in Atlanta. Can you give any suggestions. I’d LOVE to check them out!! ❤️

  7. This looks incredible. I cannot wait for the book to arrive. Does anyone know if the pan shape makes a difference to this recipe? I don't have a tall rectangular one like his. 😕

  8. Eric, you are such a wonderful writer and explain things so well. This video was great. And I could smell that bread all the way to Florida! I hope that they feature you in more videos because you explain techniques so well and exude charm. I cooked and baked professionally in NY for over 30 years, now retired and still cook. I also taught cooking but in my day we did not do the tangzhong technique. I have tried it and my breads and especially sweet rolls were wonderful and also kept for longer periods of time. If they lasted that long! Loved your quote about the bakeries. I teared up hearing it and have to look it up and display it in my little baking kitchen.. Thanks again for a great video and keep smiling.xxoo

  9. brilliant recipe! one question: how do we know when to stop kneading/incorporating flour and assemble the dough to divide in half/make the balls? window pane test? light finger indentation with no bounce, like a brioche? many thanks, can't wait to try this <3

  10. I’ve just started baking no knead bread through the pandemic and appreciate a home baked good so much more because of it. This looks quite simple and doable. I can’t wait to try! Thanks for beautifully interpreting my childhood favorite milkbread. Can’t wait to make some strawberry jam and diving in! My family’s favorite way is to tear the warm bread apart and dipping in jam.

  11. Had a smile on my face the entire time I watched this. Eric is so sweet! What a natural on camera. He inspires confidence. I need to know more about why he prefers Morton’s over Diamond Crystal!!!! Love that he advocates for the scale. Changing the baking world one gram at a time. I’m here for it.

  12. I LOVED this!!
    Keep doing your thing , Eric! This is such a valuable experience to share with everyone. Now I am going to see what Korean bakeries might be available in my hometown.
