1

In a bowl, mix milk, sugar, dry yeast, and whole egg well. Add strong flour, weak flour, and salt, and mix until no dry flour remains. Add rice oil and knead until incorporated. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 20 minutes.

2

Mix the dough by gathering it from the outside to the inside and let it rest for 15 minutes. Repeat this step once more.

3

Shape the dough into a ball and let it rise until it doubles in size (first fermentation). This took about 60 minutes at room temperature (around 28°C).

4

Punch down the dough and divide it into 9 pieces, rounding each piece. Let it rest for 15 minutes (bench time).

5

Flatten each piece of dough, wrap it around the red bean paste, and seal well. Place in a lined baking pan and let it rise until it doubles in size (second fermentation). Aim for it to rise about 1-2 cm above the pan (this took about 40 minutes at 30°C).

6

Brush the surface with beaten egg and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 18 minutes. Adjust baking time and temperature based on your oven.
