Creating a beautiful ring-shaped red bean bread is easier than you think! Follow this simple guide to bake a soft, sweet treat with a vibrant swirl of red bean paste.
Ingredients Needed:
- 300g bread flour, 30g sugar, 3g salt, 30g butter, 7g yeast, 150ml warm milk, 1 egg.
- 200g red bean paste (store-bought or homemade).
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Dough: Mix flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in a bowl. Add warm milk and egg, knead into a smooth dough. Incorporate softened butter and knead until elastic (about 15-20 minutes). Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size (1-1.5 hours).
2. Shape the Bread: Punch down the risen dough and divide into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a circle, place 1-2 tbsp red bean paste in the center, and seal the edges. Roll each filled dough into a 15cm-long rope.
3. Form the Ring: Braid two ropes together, then coil into a ring and pinch the ends to seal. Repeat with remaining dough. Place the rings on a baking tray, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.
4. Bake: Brush the tops with milk or egg wash. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes until golden. Cool completely before serving.
