Red Bean Rolls




Whenever I have the opportunity I like to hang around bakeries and look at the different shapes and patterns of their bread and buns on display.  Yes, for inspiration to experiment.   I recently made these 'Red Bean Rolls' for tea and they still tasted good the next day!






After the first proving, roll out the dough, place the red bean paste in the centre, fold up and roll up into half, then fold up the sides.


Turn over the folded up dough, roll out flat, then roll up like a swiss roll and cut into 1 inch thick pieces.
Place the rolls in a pan and cover with a damp cloth, let rise again for about 40 min.  Apply egg glaze and bake in preheated oven.



Freshly baked rolls straight out from the oven ....... lovely aroma!






These yummy rolls are good for tea anytime!

  • 300 gm high protein flour
  • 25 gm caster sugar
  • 1/4  level tsp salt

  6. Roll  out dough into an oblong, spread the red bean paste onto the centre of the dough.
  7. Fold the dough from the top and from the bottom.  Then fold into half.
  8. Fold in from both ends and turn over.
  9. Roll out to a rectangle and roll up tightly like a swiss roll.
  10. Cut to about 1 inch thick and place, cut side down onto a greased pan.

Herbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Gao

H erbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Ga o literally translated means 'Tortoise Jelly' is one of my family's favourite desserts.  It's much more economical to prepare this at home for you'll need to fork out between Rm 9 to Rm 11 for a bowl of this cooling dessert in any of those herbal tea outlets.  This soothing jelly, served chilled, is supposed to be able to help reduce our body heat, helps to get rid of toxins and is believed to be good for the skin thus culminating a healthier complexion.
