Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Sugar
- 5 grams Salt
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 180 milliliters Whole milk
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 250 grams Red bean paste
- 30 milliliters Water
- 15 milliliters Milk (for brushing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
In a small saucepan, heat the whole milk and unsalted butter over low heat until the butter is melted. Let it cool to lukewarm.
Beat the egg lightly in a small bowl and then add to the flour mixture.
Pour the lukewarm milk and butter mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix well until the dough starts to come together.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Divide the red bean paste into 8 equal portions and set aside.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to remove excess air and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
Flatten each piece of dough into a disk, place a portion of red bean paste in the center, and wrap the dough around it. Pinch the seams together to seal.
Place the buns seam side down on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover with a damp cloth and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Brush the tops of the buns with milk to give them a nice glaze.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
