I like similar bread sold at my neighbor bakery. They sell a loaf for about 400 yen, so I tried to make one for myself.

I still have to improve how to shape the bread.

If you don't have a loaf tin, divide the dough into 8 portions at Step 5 and bake in a baking tray. Or you can use an empty biscuit tin lined with baking paper. Recipe by Mamu

Ingredients

1 serving
  1. 240 gramsStrong bread flour
  2. 60 gramsPlain cake flour
  3. 5 gramsMatcha
  4. 20 gramsSugar
  5. 4 gramsSalt
  6. 1Egg
  7. 210 mltotal Milk, plus the egg listed above
  8. 30 gramsButter
  9. 5 gramsDried yeast
  10. 120 gramsAdzuki beans paste (I used a can)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Put all the ingredients except the aduki beans in a bread maker. Press start on the dough setting.

  2. 2

    After the dough has proofed, punch the air out gently and let it sit for 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Roll out the dough into a 20 cm x 35 cm rectangle. Spread the adzuki bean paste evenly on the surface, leaving a 2 cm border at the far end.

  4. 4

    Roll up the dough from the nearest end and seal the joint well.

  5. 5

    Divide the dough into 3 pieces with a knife or bench scraper.

  6. 6

    Arrange the dough in a greased tin with the cut ends facing up.

  7. 7

    Cover with plastic wrap (I used a shower cap I bought at a dollar shop). Leave to proof at about 95°F/35°C for about 40 minutes until the dough swells to 2 cm below the edge of the tin.

  8. 8

    Bake first at 390°F/200°C for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 340°F/170°C. Bake for another 20 minutes (it burns easily, so cover with aluminum foil if necessary). After baking remove from the oven and drop the bread from a height of 30 cm to remove excess air.

  9. 9

    This is the bread I made this time. It doesn't look great, unfortunately...I might make it into a braided shape before baking next time.
