How to Make Honey Red Bean Bread: A Complete Guide

Honey red bean bread is a delightful treat, blending soft, sweet bread with a rich, earthy red bean filling. Here’s a simple guide to making it at home.

Ingredients: For the dough, you’ll need 300g bread flour, 30g sugar, 30g butter, 1 egg, 7g yeast, 150ml warm milk, and a pinch of salt. For the filling, use 200g cooked red beans, 2 tbsp honey, and 1 tsp vanilla extract.

Steps:

1. Prepare the dough: Dissolve yeast in warm milk and let it sit for 5 minutes. Mix flour, sugar, salt, and egg, then knead in the yeast mixture and butter until smooth. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled.

2. Make the filling: Mash red beans, stir in honey and vanilla until creamy. Chill for easier handling.

3. Shape the bread: Punch down the dough, divide into 8 equal portions. Flatten each, add a spoonful of filling, and seal edges. Place rolls on a baking sheet, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.

4. Bake: Brush with egg wash, bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15-20 minutes until golden. Cool slightly before serving.
