Dan Pat Bbang

Red Bean Filling Bread atau biasa disebut "DanPatBbang" di Korea, merupakan salah satu jenis roti yang sangat digemari sejak dahulu disana. Ada banyak sekali jenis masakan Korea yang menggunakan Red Bean Paste, roti ini adalah salah satu yang sangat populer diantaranya. Bbang dalam bahasa Korea artinya roti. 

Roti ini lembut banget dan nggak terlalu manis. Aku dapat resepnya masih dari Aeri's Kitchen. Video cara membuatnya juga ada disana. Senangnya lagi, Faatih dan ayah doyan ama roti ini, jadi puas deh udah praktekin roti ini :)

Sebelum dan sesudah proses pengembangan

Serving: 16-18 pieces

Ingredients:

3 1/2 cups all purpose flour

2 1/2 cup Red Bean Paste (resep home made red bean paste ada di chapssalddeok)

2/3 cup luke warm water

2/3 cup luke warm milk

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup butter, melted

2 tsp active dry yeast

1 1/2 tsp salt

Some melted butter for brushing (kemaren aku lupa pake)

Some black sesame seeds for garnish (bisa pake sesame seeds biasa atau kacang-kacangan)

Sebelum dibakar

Directions:

1. Place all purpose flour in a big mixing bowl. Make three holes in the flour, and then put sugar, yeast and salt in each hole. Gently cover the holes with the flour.

2. Pour ⅔ cup of lukewarm water and ⅔ cup of lukewarm milk in the flour mix. Mix everything together with a fork or your hands.

3. Pour ¼ cup of melted butter into the dough and knead the dough. If you have a bread machine, let it mix the ingredients and knead the dough. If you knead the dough by hand, knead the dough for about 30 minutes. Knead the dough strongly, as if you are washing clothes. When the dough becomes smooth and elastic, it is done.

4. Loosely cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set it in a warm place, such as an oven with the light turned on, for about 40 minutes.

5. Meanwhile, obtain 2½ cups of red bean paste. Divide the bean paste into 16 pieces and make round ball shapes out of the pieces. It will be about 1½ Tbsp of red bean paste for each ball.

6. When the dough has risen into a nice big size, take the dough out of the bowl and press down in the center to remove some of the air in the dough. Divide the dough into 16 pieces and make a round ball out of each piece.

7. Flatten a ball until it is about 3 inches in diameter and place 1 red bean ball in the center. Fold the dough up and over the red bean paste to cover it. Seal the center tightly so that the red bean paste will not come out. Put the sealed part face down on a mat and press the dough into about a 2 inch diameter. Cut 8 decorative slits around the edge, equally spaced apart. Put some black sesame seeds in the center of the dough. Press gently to help them stick to the dough. You can substitute regular sesame seeds, crushed walnuts, or crushed pecans.

8. Place the dough on a cooking sheet and set it aside to rise again for about 15. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 350°F/180degC. 

9. Bake the bread for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown. You can brush the surface of the bread with egg before baking, or you can brush melted butter on top right after it comes out of the oven, as I did. Those steps will give the bread a nice and shiny look.
