Red Bean Bun

This week I wanna try to bake a bread! I found this recipe from My Home Kitchen .The ingredients and steps seem like not too confusing so I decided to try on this.

Well, here’s my first bun…

Outlook – not too bad. Hoho = P

Taste – inside is nice but not the top of the bun as it is a bit hard. I think may be is my temperature is too high??? Not sure…I will try again to make it perfect!!! Gambateh~~

OMG!!! I ate 3 red bean buns at once...cant stop myself! I love red bean, I love to eat bread, I love everthing...hahahaha. Gim Theng, you can have a try on this. It is quite simple. Hope you will enjoy it!
