How to Make Red Bean Paste Toast: A Step-by-Step Guide

Red bean paste toast is a beloved treat, blending soft, fluffy bread with sweet, earthy red bean filling. Here’s a simple recipe to recreate it at home.

Ingredients:

- 300g bread flour, 30g sugar, 3g salt, 3g instant yeast, 1 egg, 150ml milk, 30g butter (softened).

- 200g store-bought or homemade red bean paste.

Steps:

1. Prepare the dough: Mix flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Add egg and milk, knead until smooth. Incorporate softened butter and knead for 15-20 minutes until elastic. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled.

2. Shape the bread: Punch down the dough, divide into 6 equal portions. Roll each into a ball, cover, and rest for 10 minutes. Flatten each portion, place 30g red bean paste in the center, and seal the edges tightly.

3. Proof and bake: Arrange the dough in a greased loaf pan. Let it rise for 40 minutes until puffy. Brush with milk or egg wash. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 25-30 minutes until golden. Cool completely before slicing.

Tips: For extra flavor, add a pinch of matcha powder to the dough or sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Enjoy it as a breakfast snack or dessert!
