Melon Pan is a popular Japanese sweet bread known for its unique appearance and texture. It features a soft, fluffy interior and a crunchy, cookie-like crust on top, which is often scored to resemble a melon, hence its name. Despite its name, it does not contain any melon flavor; the name refers to its shape. Typically, Melon Pan is made from a dough that includes flour, sugar, yeast, and butter, topped with a sweet cookie dough. It can be enjoyed plain or filled with various ingredients like cream, chocolate, or custard, making it a versatile treat loved by many in Japan and beyond.
