RED BEAN BUN

Bread making is interesting, 

with the various texture and shapes.

Thanks to so many posts in the web, 

that I am able to try out so many recipes.

My husband has a sweet tooth,

he likes everything sweet.

Red bean paste is one of his favourite,

not forgetting the groundnut filling.

I like making red bean paste from the scratch.

Quite often you can buy quite good ones from the shop.
