Chef John's Milk Bread
Japanese-style milk bread is easy to make and stays moist and fresh longer than your typical loaf of homemade bread thanks to a starter or "roux." It's light and soft with the perfect amount of sweetness. Try it with my Japanese Egg Salad Sandwich (Tamago Sando) or toast it and use it for a tuna salad sandwich.
Air Fryer Halloumi
I had fried halloumi in a pub in England where it's often served as an appetizer, and it was instant love. It's a breeze to make in the air fryer! We like to serve it with sliced cherry tomatoes, freshly chopped herbs, or occasionally a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
No-Cook Icing
Light and fluffy angel food cake frosting. It has all the taste of a boiled frosting with very little effort! Sometimes I like to change it up a bit and use maple or peppermint extract instead of vanilla.
