This is copied over from Nyan Bread. I want to try making it with a thin filling of red bean paste and a light icing on top (sort of like a pop-tart). AMichael
Ingredients:
- 1 tsp active dry yeast (1/2 package)
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 3 tbsp soy milk
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 3/4-2 cups bread flour
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 8 tbsp red bean paste
- 2 tbsp icing sugar
Preparation:
- In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let stand about 10 minutes, until frothy.
- Stir in the sugar, soy milk, salt, and enough flour to make a soft dough, between 1 3/4 to 2 cups.
- Knead for 6 to 8 minutes on a lightly floured surface or until smooth. Place in a well-oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and set aside to rise. Let it rise 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in volume.
- Punch down the dough then roll into ping-pong-ball-sized pieces and place on a baking sheet. Cover with a towel and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat a pan to high heat and lightly oil.
- Roll two balls of dough at a time into two very thin circles. Add 1 tbsp of red bean paste to one, spreading thin, and cover with second circle of dough. Pinch in edges, if needed.
- Add to pan one at a time. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until bubbles begin to brown and brush the top side with additional oil. Flip the bread and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on the other side. Continue until all the bread is cooked.
- Prepare the icing sugar with enough water to form a thin icing.
- Brush the icing very thinly onto the tops of the Nyaan.
