Sweet Buns with Red Bean Paste


Ingredients:

1 tbsp active dry yeast
1/3 cup white sugar
1 cup warm milk (around 40 degrees Celsius)
2 cup bread flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
8 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tsp water

Directions:
1. Prepare the warm milk with by heating up milk in the microwave. Dissolve sugar in the milk. Stir well. Add the yeast and let stand for 10 minutes.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine bread flour, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and salt. Mix well.
3. Make a well at the centre of flour mixture, pour in the yeast mixture from (1) gradually. Be sure to combine them well.
4. Next, reserve 1 tbsp of beaten eggs for later. Add remaining beaten eggs and vegetable oil into the dough from (3). Knead dough for 10 minutes until it is soft and smooth.
5. Place dough in a greased bowl and cover bowl with plastic wrap. Rest the bowl in a warm place for about an hour, or until the dough doubled.
6. When dough is ready, punch down the dough at the centre to release air. On a lightly floured surface, knead dough for 10 to 15 minutes until it is soft and pliable. Divide dough into 12 portions. Roll the dough out to get a circular shape with a rolling pin. Wrap dough with your favourite filling (e.g. red bean paste, meat filling etc.). Make sure to seal the filling well by bringing the corners together and pinching down the dough.
7. Let the dough rest on a non-stick baking tray in a warm place for an hour, or until the size doubled. Wrap tray with plastic wrap.
8. Remove the plastic wrap. To prepare egg wash, mix the 1 tbsp beaten egg with 2 tsp water. Brush the egg wash on dough with a pastry brush. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 F for about 20 minutes, or until the surface of buns are lightly brown.

    Hi Adeline,

    just a suggestion, it would be nice if you could add an approximate # of yield/people and how long it takes to make/bake your food. I like a lot of your recipes but as you may be aware of, I am short on free time and need if you could provide more information, it’ll help me (and certainly others) to organize my time.

    Thanks,

    Pierre
