Martin makes this irresistibly buttery Salt Bread. Known as shio pan in Japan and sogeum-ppang in Korea, salt bread is formed by rolling each piece of dough around a block of butter. The butter steams and melts in the oven, leaving the buns with hollow centers and — our favorite part — butter-fried bottoms. Then Martin talks with recipe developer Kat Lieu about how she created King Arthur's take on this popular bakery staple in East Asia.
