Crispy red bean paste buns are a beloved treat with a flaky crust and sweet, fragrant filling. Here’s a simple guide to making them at home.
Ingredients: For the dough, mix 200g all-purpose flour, 30g sugar, 5g yeast, and 100ml warm water. Knead into a smooth dough and let it rise for 1 hour. For the filling, blend 200g cooked red beans with 30g sugar and 1 tbsp oil until smooth.
Steps:
1. Prepare the dough: After rising, knead again, then roll into a thin rectangle. Spread the red bean paste evenly, leaving a border.
2. Shape the bun: Roll the dough into a log, cut into 6 pieces, and seal the ends. Flatten each piece slightly.
3. Fry or bake: For frying, heat oil to 160°C and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden. For baking, brush with egg wash and bake at 180°C for 20 minutes.
Tips: Let the dough rest for 10 minutes before rolling for better texture. Adjust sugar in the filling to your taste. Serve warm for the best crunch and soft center! Enjoy these homemade delights with tea or as a sweet snack.
