Japanese type Sandwich bread - Pain de mie (Quick & easy version)


The sandwich bread in Japan tastes totally different from what I've got in USA market or here in UK market. They are usually more moisture, with rich milkier test, more concentrated but smoother texture, soft but springyApparently it is based on a type of bread from French call Pain de mie. There is a full version recipe to replicate the best of Japanese sandwich bread at this post

Since I start to make this kind of bread, my son doesn't accept any bread from supermarket. So I needed a simpler and quicker version.
This is the quick and easy version that the bread maker does the all hard working part.

I've revised this post with my java script application for calculating the portion of each ingredients for making this bread in different size.
Just place the "Strong flour" weight or" Total" weight you want it in grams, then click on "Calc" button. 
It will calculate the rest of ingredients weight. 
I was trying to make more generic app that I can manipulate with any ingredients, then Blogger page apparently restricts some Java script and couldn't make it.

Ingredients(g)Bakers %Custom(g)
Strong flour260(100%)
Sugar16(6%)0
Salt4(2%)0
Dried yeast5(2%)0
Skimmed milk5(2%)0
Butter22(8%)0
Honey11(4%)0
Milk195(75%)0
Total:518

Methods:
1. Cut the butter into 1-2 cm cubes (for adding them later).
2. Put the kneading blade into the bread pan. (It has only one direction to slot in and not easy to get lose)
3. Scale and put all ingredients except butter in the bread pan.
5. Plug in the Bread Maker, place the bread pan in the BM, then select the "Basic Rapid" menu (Menu 02 for Panasonic SD-2501) and press "Start" button. 
6. Wait for 5 minutes and when the kneading phase start, put the butter in the bread pan (just open the lid, put them into the working bread pan, then close the lid back). 
7. Press the "Stop" button when the beep sounds. Take the bread pan out from the BM, take the bread out from the bread pan then put it on a wire rack and leave it to cool down. Better not cutting them until it gets enough cool, takes up to 1 hour (depends on the loaf size and the room temperature).
8. Keep it in a plastic bag.
