Chinese corn mayo bread is a type of soft bread that is a staple in Chinese bakeries, where it often sits alongside other favorites like red bean buns, egg tarts, and hot dog buns. The dough is made from a milk bread dough, with fluffy, moist and extra tender texture. The bread has a topping made of sweet corn mixed with mayonnaise, sometimes mixed with tiny pieces of ham. The combination of the slightly sweet corn and the creamy, tangy mayonnaise creates a hearty taste that is both savory and slightly sweet. It is one of my favorite kinds of bread from Chinese bakeries. In this recipe, I want to show you how to make this fun bread using a simplified milk bread dough recipe. You simply need to mix the ingredients with a stand mixer to create that heavenly texture.

In China, this bread is often enjoyed as a breakfast item, a midday snack, or for a picnic. It’s easy to see why: the bread is satisfying but not overly heavy, making it a perfect pick-me-up. The savory-sweet flavor is also incredibly versatile, appealing to kids and adults alike. The corn mayo bread tastes the best when it’s fresh out of the oven and still a bit warm. But you can easily store them in the fridge or in the freezer. For corn mayo bread out of the fridge or freezer, it’s best to slightly warm it up in the oven before serving.
