Wondering what to do with Milk training? Try these quick, healthy, and crowd-pleasing recipes.
When making this red bean paste bread, I deliberately avoided cutting or braiding it, mainly to prevent the red bean paste from drying out after baking in the oven, which would greatly affect the texture. Instead, I layered the red bean paste into the dough, creating a flaky, layered texture similar to puff pastry. This avoided the problem of biting into a mouthful of filling that was cloyingly sweet, and allowed the sweetness of the red bean paste to blend perfectly with the softness of the bread. Every bite offers a delightful combination of creamy red bean paste and fluffy dough, with rich layers that make it incredibly satisfying to eat.
The filling blends the rich, mellow aroma of black sesame powder, the crunchy grains of peanuts and walnuts, and the gentle sweetness of milk powder. The multifaceted flavors intertwine, each bite offering a nutty crunch and the richness of sesame, a sweet yet non-cloying experience. The dough is also infused with black sesame powder. After steaming, the aroma of wheat permeates the air, mingling with the scorched aroma of sesame. The soft dough envelops the generous filling. One bite is filled with a soft exterior and fragrant interior. The richness of sesame, the crunch of nuts, and the aroma of milk are a comforting blend from nose to taste. It's a perfect fusion of traditional pastry and nutty flavors, incredibly delicious. By the time I realized it, my stomach was already swollen. The sight of the scale instantly sobered me up—but then I thought, trading three sweet, soft sesame and nut snacks for a solid meal is a real bargain! After all, the dough is so chewy and the filling is so flavorful, it would be a shame not to eat enough.
