Black Sesame Bun with Azuki Bean Paste

Black Sesame Bun with Azuki Bean Paste
Yeah! Finally after the stressful year end examination it’s time to sit back and enjoy the long 7 weeks school holiday. So now we would have more time to prepare and enjoy international breakfast (some breakfast ideas here) in the morning as well as getting into some bread making sessions with the boy because he loves to help up with shaping the dough.

Furthermore bread making has become a breeze ever since I am using my new BOSCH MaxxiMUM stand mixer to prepare the dough.


Grinding Black Sesame Seeds
Sesame Seeds (芝麻) which come in black, white, yellow or red are packed with calcium, iron, zinc and etc. These tiny seeds are often roasted before consuming to release its nutty flavour which is often using for seasoning, making dips, sauces or spread. Between grinding sesame seeds isn’t difficult because you can use either a food blender or the Japanese grinder (can be found at Daiso outlets) shown above.

Black Sesame Bun with Azuki Bean Paste
For the bread dough, I added some toasted black sesame seeds which I grind them using a Japanese grinder leaving a little coarse texture which adds nutty flavour to the bread. Between for the bun filling you can either used sesame paste, azuki bean paste (get from baking stores or Japanese supermarkets) or leave it empty so that you could have it with some butter or spread of your choice.

芝麻 (Sesame Seeds)含有多种的营养物如蛋白质、胡萝卜素、维生素及含量极高的铁。 这些微小的种子有黑色,白色,黄色或红色。它们通常都用于搭配在调味料,酱汁或烘培材料当中。这个食谱就用了一些烤香然后磨碎黑芝麻当材料因此吃起来特别香。而且那些微甜的红豆陷也提升了面包的口感。
