In a large bowl, combine the dough ingredients except the butter. Ensure the cooled tangzhong is added. Mix until a dough forms, then knead in the softened butter for 15 minutes.

On a floured surface, roll the risen dough into a large rectangle about 1-1.5 cm thick. Spread a thin layer of melted pistachio spread over the dough. Roll tightly from the long edge, then cut into 9 pieces using floss or a knife. Arrange the pieces in an 8-inch square cake tin. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until fluffy and soft.
