Another Red-bean Buns...

Have been looking for more breads and buns recipe lately. Yup, bread and buns.....my family love breads and so do buns! Especially my daughter, she can take bread for all her meals.

I've come across this recipe from a baker in Seremban, my hometown. He has been serving in a cake house and also sets up a college in Seremban too....Yeah is a HE! I was wondering why all bakers or cook are normally guys...hmm... Are they smarter???? Or are their work neater....whatever...heehee..;-P

Okay, i did alittle changes here...avoid his bread improver and minus the water used and also skip some steps, then it turned out just nice! See...i'm also smart! haha!...:) So here is it......

1/4 tsp Salt

20g Cold Water

2.5g Instant yeast
