Braided bean paste buns
Overview
I also made my family’s favorite red bean paste bread. While it was being baked, my son stayed by the oven. He said that the smell of the bread made him not want to be anywhere else. Although it takes several hours to make bread once, seeing how much my family likes it makes me like making bread myself more and more. I have become lazy, and when I have enough time, I can enjoy the fun of kneading dough by hand.

Steps
-
Pour all the ingredients except butter into the bread machine in the order of liquid first and then powder; start the dough mixing program of the bread machine for 30 minutes; 10 minutes before the end of the dough mixing program, add softened butter and continue mixing until the dough is finished; then start the rising process for 90 minutes; this is the fermented dough; (I have detailed dough mixing and rising steps for the bread machine in my log, so I will skip this step)
-
After the fermentation process is completed, take out the dough and knead it on the panel to deflate, use a rolling pin to roll it into a long dough piece; roll the bean paste filling into 1/2 the size of the dough piece, place it on the left side of the dough piece, then fold the other side of the dough piece over to cover the bean paste filling, use a rolling pin to roll it into a long dough piece of about 0.5 cm;
-
Cut into 12 even strips with a knife and let rise for 15 minutes;
-
Then arrange every 3 strips together to form a braid, and place them on a baking sheet lined with oil paper after braiding them all;
-
Then use the fermentation function of the oven to ferment again for 40 minutes at a temperature of 38 degrees and a humidity of 80%;
-
The fermented bread dough has doubled in size;

Brush the surface with egg wash;

Sprinkle with peach kernel slices; (almond slices can also be used here, whatever you like)
