Salt bread, called shio pan (塩パン, shiopan) in Japan and sogeum-ppang (Korean: 소금빵; RR: sogeum-ppang) in Korean, is a Japanese buttery roll.[1]

Salt bread originated in the Ehime prefecture in Japan around 2014 and was popularized by the Pain Maison bakery. By 2021, the bread had become a trend in South Korea's cafe culture. The bread is made by wrapping dough around butter. The butter steams during the baking process, leaving a hollow interior and crispy base.[2] It may come with a variety of sweet and savory fillings, including custard, cheese, and mochi.[3]
