Instructions
- 1 Whisk flour, 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons sugar, green tea powder, yeast, and salt together in a bowl; make a well in the center. Pour in ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons milk and beaten egg; mix until a soft dough forms.
- 2 Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead until dough becomes smooth and is no longer sticky, about 5 minutes. Knead and mix 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons butter into dough; continue kneading until dough is smooth and elastic and no longer sticks to the work surface, about 15 minutes.
- 3 Smooth dough into a ball; place in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap; let dough rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Lightly grease a loaf pan.
- 4 Transfer dough onto a work surface; punch down to remove accumulated air. Lightly flour work surface; roll dough into a large rectangle slightly wider than the length of the loaf pan and as long as possible using a rolling pin. Roll dough tightly, Swiss-roll style. Pinch dough to seal the seam tightly. Place rolled dough, seam-side down, into the prepared pan; cover pan with plastic wrap. Let dough rise until it fills 80-percent of the pan, 45 to 60 minutes.
- 5 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- 6 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.
- 7 Immediately remove bread from the pan; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing, about 30 minutes.
