Japanese Melon Bread or Melonpan: The family can't get enough

Ever since the Holidays I had been on a baking kick. Funny enough it was not because of some Holiday tradition. Rather, it's because of two shows:

The latest recipe I tried out is cooking with the dog's melon pan recipe which is right here:

Here are some pictures:

Before fermentation. Yes, I added chocolate.

After fermentation. Since it's winter, it took a few hours for it to rise.

End Results!

Some changes...

• I used my pre-made mother dough  and a quarter teaspoon of yeast instead of a pack of yeast in this recipe. I no longer had a lot of chances to use the mother dough and I just really want to get rid of it. A mother dough is not needed in this recipe. 
• Instead of powdered milk, I added a tablespoon of whole milk since I do not have powdered milk at home.
• Because of the water content of the mother dough and the milk added, no water was added to the recipe.

Final Verdict: 
Delicious recipe. The crust is crispy and buttery and bread inside is fluffy as they usually are a few minutes after they came out of the oven. One problem of this recipe is that there is a lot of work to do. A good chunk of the day would be dedicated to make these treats. However, while it took a few hours to make these bad boys to make it only took a few minutes for the fam to finish it. Five buns are not enough for my family so I am going to make more tomorrow!

I can't say a few days later to pack for school because these never last 12 hours in the house but I hope I could bring some to share to some friends.
