ANPAN

Anpan

are Japanese Buns

with 

anko filling

I have been making buns with red bean filling

now

I adapted this recipe from

Namiko Chen of justonecookbook

Buns: (8)

225g bread flour

25g Cake flour ( or 25g AP flour + 1 tsp corn flour)

50g sugar

1 tsp salt

1 tsp dry yeast

1 large egg

50ml milk

50ml water

35g butter

Filling:

280g (35x8) anko, sweet red bean paste

Topping:

1 egg beaten with 2 Tbsp water

2 tsp black sesame seed

Method:

1) sieve all flours together

2) put everything into the bread machine

3) bread dough cycle & let dough rise until double

4) divide dough into 8 balls & leave to rise 15min

5) shape into rounds & wrap the filling

6) allow to rest until double in size

7) egg wash the buns & place some black sesame seeds on top

8) bake in preheated oven 200'C for 15min

Note:
1) It can be baked plain
2) can replace 25g bread flour with oats or oat meal
