Mini Challah Bread (Milk Bread–Style)

This is a cross between two of my favorite breads: rich, eggy challah and soft, fluffy Japanese milk bread. The secret is making a tangzhong and using it to give challah that signature pillowy texture milk bread is known for. The result is buttery, slightly sweet, and incredibly soft even days later. I’m still workshopping it, but for my second try at challah, it turned out way better than expected. Here's how I made it.
