What’s Melon Pan?
Melon Pan is good bread coated in a skinny layer of crisp biscuit/cookie crust with grid line sample on high. The Japanese phrase for bread is “pan (パン)”, which got here from the Portuguese phrase for bread. Now why is it referred to as “melon“?
Does it style like melon? No, historically the bread does NOT embody melon taste or the fruit itself. Then why is it referred to as Melon Pan if there isn’t any melon taste?
There are a couple of completely different theories for the origin of Melon Pan’s identify (nonetheless no conclusive concept even at this time).
Some say that the unique melon pan was invented in the course of the Meiji Period. The bread resembled an oriental melon (マクワウリ) with the parallel traces on the crust, and was full of candy white bean paste (shiro-an) inside. Throughout that point, the oriental melon was offered as “melon” in order that they began to name this “Melon Pan”.

In Taisho Period, the same spherical bread with biscuit/cookie crust was launched to western and southern western Japan (Osaka and Hiroshima space), they usually named it “Dawn (サンライズ)” bread. In a while, this spherical Dawn bread began to be offered as Melon Pan all through Japan, as the looks resembles a muskmelon, which was (and nonetheless is) extremely prized fruit.
Right this moment, should you go to the Kansai space, the soccer form bread you see above with white bean paste filling is what they name Melon Pan. They nonetheless confer with the spherical bread with biscuit crust Dawn bread (whereas it’s referred to as melon pan in every single place else). Our native Andersen bakery that began in Hiroshima additionally calls their Melon Pan “Dawn”. In Shikoku Island, Melon Pan is named “Koppepan (コッペパン)”.
Different theories on the origin of the identify says the phrase “melon” comes from “meringue (メリンゲ)”, which is positioned on high of the bread dough earlier than being baked. Perhaps we’ll discover out the Melon Pan’s origin someday. Who knew Melon Pan is kind of mysterious bread?!
Variations of Melon Pan
There are some Melon Pans that embody chocolate chips, cocoa powder, and even matcha, and a few bakeries put custard (cream) contained in the bun.
In recent times, numerous bakeries began so as to add actual pureed melon or melon syrup (from both actual melon or the inexperienced melon syrup we use for shaved ice) within the dough so as to add “melon” flavors or shade. Nevertheless, for at this time’s recipe I made my Melon Pan with traditional elements.
There’s little question kneading the dough in a stand mixer is way simpler and sooner. However I wish to encourage everybody to make bread together with your palms occasionally though you will have a stand mixer.
It does require extra effort and time, however after I knead dough with my palms I really feel it’s completely different. The distinction in style may be too refined to acknowledge however perhaps there’s that additional particular ingredient … referred to as love 🙂
