Salt Bread

Salt bread, also known as shio pan (塩パン), is a Japanese bread roll with a crisp, buttery exterior, a soft and fluffy interior, and a signature fried, crispy bottom created as the salted butter melts and bakes into the dough. This collection includes my go-to salt bread recipe along with variations that use the same salt-butter technique, like salt butter focaccia and shio pan bagels, as well as flavored variations like cinnamon roll salt bread, matcha salt bread, and chocolate salt bread.
