The Charm and History of Melon Bread
Melon bread, as its name suggests, features a lattice pattern reminiscent of a melon, making it a distinctly Japanese sweet. It originated in the 1950s and evolved uniquely under the influence of Western bread culture. Today, this bread, known for its crispy exterior and fluffy interior, is loved by many.
Characteristics of Melon Bread
The standout feature of melon bread is its outer layer of cookie dough. This cookie dough, rich in butter and sugar, has a subtly sweet and fragrant aroma. The inner bread is fluffy, offering a simple yet profound flavor experience. Particularly when freshly baked, the balance between the crispy exterior and the soft interior makes it truly exceptional.
Various Ways to Enjoy
Melon bread is delicious on its own, but there are numerous ways to enjoy it. You can create melon pan sandwiches filled with cream or ice cream, or explore variations using chocolate or matcha. Additionally, warming the bread enhances the richness, as the cookie layer slightly melts.
At UnD, we also plan to offer various limited-edition melon bread flavors in the future.
