Red Bean Paste Bun


The aroma of homemade red bean paste is irresistible when you bite into the bun!

Ingredients

  • 3½ Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 2½ Cups Red Bean Paste
  • ⅔ Cup Water
  • ⅔ Cup Milk
  • ¼ Cup Sugar
  • ¼ Cup Butter, Melted and Cooled
  • 1½ tsp Fast Active Dry Yeast
  • 1½ tsp Salt
  • Egg wash for brushing
  • Some nuts or seeds to garnish

Directions

1. Microwave water and milk together for 40 seconds, about 30 degree.
2. Pour it into bread machine, then add yeast, sugar, butter, flour, salt. Mix all ingredients in the bread machine in dough setting (usually done in 90 minutes).
3. Divide the dough into 20 pieces and make buns.

4. Place the dough on a cooking sheet and set it aside to rise again for about 15 minutes. 
5. While buns are rising, preheat the oven to 350°F. 
6. Brush the surface of the bread with egg wash and garnish with nuts or seeds just before baking.
7. Bake the buns for about 28~30 minutes, or until golden brown.

You can use store bought red bean paste, which seems too sweet for me. I like to make my own, just plain red beans with a touch of oil and sugar.
