Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 30 grams Sugar
- 3 grams Salt
- 150 milliliters Warm water
- 30 milliliters Vegetable oil
- 200 grams Red bean paste (sweetened)
- 20 milliliters Soy milk
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Make a well in the center and gradually add the warm water and vegetable oil.
Mix the ingredients to form a rough dough, then transfer it onto a floured surface.
Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air bubbles and divide it into 8 equal portions.
Flatten each portion into a disc and place about 25 grams of sweetened red bean paste in the center.
Carefully wrap and seal the dough around the red bean paste, pinching the edges together tightly to ensure the filling won't leak out during baking.
Arrange the buns seam-side down on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, cover with a damp cloth, and let them rise again for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).
Brush the tops of the buns lightly with soy milk to give them a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let the buns cool slightly before serving.
