It's been really quite sometime since I last baked a bread. Got this sudden urge to bake one for tomorrow's breakfast and off I ran to the kitchen to get everything prepared. Since there's still quite an amount of Red bean paste left over from the last mochi session, I decided to make Anpan Bread.

This recipe is adopted from "孟老師的100道麵包". I can say the dough can be hard to manage since it's kinda sticky. My Prince charming ate one of the sample roll and commented it is soft and nice. I felt like taking a bite too but it's already 3am and I'll definitely pile on weights if I continue to eat at such hours. Anyway, my eyelids are on the go of closing down. LOL! Good night!


Updates: I can't believe that this happen! My anpan bread which was left over since last night actually taste softer than it was out from the oven! How amazing! The texture was fluffy and soft. OMG! My Royal Prince Charming actually "snatched" my bun and ate it down his stomach! LOL!
