Tips:

Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Fresh bread, eggs, and milk will make a big difference in the flavor of your Kuga.
Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the bread tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will help the dough to rise properly and produce a light and fluffy bread.
Bake the bread at a high temperature. This will create a crispy crust and a soft and fluffy interior.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing. This will help the bread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.

Kuga is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own tastes. Whether you like it plain or topped with your favorite spreads or ingredients, Kuga is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a new bread to try, give Kuga a try. You won't be disappointed.
