Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Whey protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 5 grams Baking powder
- 2 grams Salt
- 150 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 ml Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 200 grams Mung beans
- 100 grams Coconut sugar
- 50 grams Soy protein isolate
- 1 egg Egg wash (for brushing)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the filling. Rinse the mung beans and soak them in water for 3-4 hours or overnight.
Drain and simmer the mung beans in a pot with enough water to cover them until soft, about 30 minutes.
Drain again and mash the mung beans into a paste. Stir in the coconut sugar and soy protein isolate until well mixed.
For the dough, combine the all-purpose flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Cut in the unsalted butter with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add water and mix until a smooth dough forms. Divide the dough in half.
Roll out the first half of the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thin rectangle. Brush with olive oil.
Roll up the dough tightly into a log, then divide into 8 equal pieces. Repeat with the second half.
Flatten each piece with your palm, then roll out to form a circle, about 4 inches in diameter.
Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each circle. Gather the edges of the dough to seal and shape into a ball.
Flatten the filled dough balls slightly into discs. Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the top of each hopia with egg wash for a shiny finish.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Bake for about 20-30 minutes or until light golden brown and flaky.
Allow to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your high protein hopia!
