Sunday "baking"

We made hong dou baozi, which are steamed red-bean buns. To make them you first make a dough ball.






You knead it for about 20 minutes. Be sure to put flour on the table so it doesn't stick.













Let it rise. When it is done rising divide the dough into small balls then put flour on your spot on the table and flatten out each ball one at a time with a rolling pin.












Then, using the red bean paste that you have, put a spoonful into the flattened out dough and close it up into any shape, just make sure it's closed.

















Then, steam it.






I like making hong dou baozi. I like to eat them too.
