Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g All-purpose Flour
- 150 ml Water
- 100 g Sugar
- 75 ml Cooking Oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 500 g Red Bean Paste or Mung Bean Paste
- 1 Egg Yolk
- 1 tsp Water for Egg Wash
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine 200g of all-purpose flour, 100g of sugar, 75ml of cooking oil, and 1 tsp of salt.
Gradually add 150ml of water, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
While the dough rests, divide the red bean paste into 12 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
After the dough has rested, divide it into 12 equal portions.
Roll out each dough portion into a small circle, roughly 4 inches in diameter.
Place a ball of filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling, pinch the edges, and then flatten slightly to form a disc shape.
Place each filled hopia on the prepared baking tray, seam side down.
In a small bowl, beat together one egg yolk with 1 tsp of water to create an egg wash.
Brush each hopia with the egg wash for a glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the hopia is golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade hopia!
