Method
 

Preparing the Dough
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine bread flour, cake flour, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together warm milk, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and instant yeast. Combine both mixtures and knead the dough until smooth and elastic—about 10-12 minutes by hand or 8-10 minutes with a mixer.
Rising the Dough
  1. Transfer the kneaded dough to an oiled bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 60-90 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
Making the Curry Filling
  1. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and sauté chopped onion, carrot, and potato until tender. Next, add ground beef and cook until browned. Stir in soy sauce, ketchup, and the broken-down Japanese curry roux, then mix in a cornstarch slurry until the filling thickens.
Assembling the Bread
  1. After the dough has risen, punch it down and knead briefly. Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces, rolling each into a ball. Flatten the balls, add a spoonful of curry filling, seal the edges carefully, and coat each piece with egg and breadcrumbs.
Final Rising
  1. Arrange the assembled curry bread on a baking sheet, cover it lightly, and let them rise again for 20-30 minutes.
Frying the Bread
  1. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (180°C). Fry the bread in batches until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
