Bean Paste Buns for Cherry Blossom Viewing
I often see the sakura bean paste buns at bakeries so I tried making some myself.
The salted sakura blossoms are too salty to use as-is, so you should soak them in water for 30 minutes or so. You can use smooth or chunky red bean paste instead of the sakura flavored type if you want. Recipe by Tamagorou

Cooking Instructions
- 1
If you are kneading by hand, place the flour, yeast, and sugar in the bowl and mix. Then add the egg and the water.
- 2
Mix with a dough scraper. Turn out onto a work surface after the dough comes together. Add the salt and the butter and knead.
- 3
Knead on a work surface. When the surface gets smooth, place the dough in a bowl and let it rise for 30~45 minutes at 35℃. It should double in size.
- 4
If you are using a dough kneader, add all of the ingredients at once and knead for 20 minutes. Then let the dough rise until it doubles in size.
- 5
Check if the dough has risen enough by poking a hole in it with your finger. If the hole remains, the dough is ready.
- 6
Punch out the dough, then divide into 8 equal pieces. Let them rest for 10 minutes.
- 7
Wipe the moisture from the sakura flavored bean paste with a paper towel. Divide into 8 pieces and roll into balls.
- 8
Soak the salted sakura blossoms in water for 30 minutes to remove the salt.
- 9
Dry the flowers well with a paper towel.
- 10
Shape the bread. Place the dough, with the seam-side up, on your palm and punch out the gas. Place the bean paste on the dough and pinch shut.
- 11
Place the dough on a baking sheet with the seam down. Make 5 cuts into the dough with a dough scraper. Put some bread flour on your finger and poke a hole in the middle.
- 12
Place a salted sakura blossom in the hole. Cover with canvas cloth and damp cloth. Let them proof for 20 minutes at 35℃.
- 13
Put some egg wash on the dough, then bake at 190℃ for 16 minutes.
- 14
All finished. How about taking some to cherry blossom viewing?
- 15
This is what it looks like when it is cut. Isn't it cute?
- 16
I added 1 teaspoon of green tea powder to the dough to make green tea bread. The matcha and the sakura-an are perfect together.

Cute Rabbit Steamed Buns for Cherry Blossom Viewing Cute Rabbit Steamed Buns for Cherry Blossom Viewing
I thought the rabbit steamed buns would become cute if I added a flower decoration as an accent. I thought a long time about what ingredients I should use for the flower hair pin. In the end I used ingredients that I had on hand and am completely satisfied with how cute the finished product turned out.-Step 6: The amount of flour changes according to the moisture of the potato. Adjust the flour so that it is roughly the texture of an earlobe.-The filling tastes better if it's soft. Please adjust the texture according to your taste.-Step 14: As time passes, the flower will absorb the moisture from the steamed buns and melt, so please add the flower as close as possible to the time of eating. For 10 steamed buns. Recipe by Sumireno usagi -

Steamed Sakura Buns for a Spring Aduki Filling Steamed Sakura Buns for a Spring Aduki Filling
When I bought sakura leaves in order to make sakura 'an' paste , I bought a pack that had 50 leaves, and figured I'd use them to make steamed bread . Please definitely give this light Sakura colored and flavored bread a try for the Japanese Doll Festival.There seem to be a lot of different kinds of Salted Sakura leaves. This time I used the type that can be used right away, and it isn't a good idea to just quickly wash them and them wipe them dry when making Sakura 'an' paste, and there are time that you have to let soak for a while first to get rid of the salt.I used a mixed rice package that already had the Sakura flour in it. You can skip the flowers if you don't have them. You need a very small amount of the red food coloring. If the pink is too strong, then it won't turn out so good in the end, so please be careful. If you don't have a steamer: You can still make steamed bread. For 4 aluminum cup cake molds. Recipe by Shirufi- -

Small bean jam pancakes (steamed buns) Small bean jam pancakes (steamed buns)
When I make "Manjyu (Japanese traditional sweet)", I prefer a dough from rice flour and Yam potato to one from plain flour. It's softer and moister. But these ingredients aren't popular out of Japan. It's also little difficult to wrap a bean jam ball with the dough from plain flour (It's better to make it thin because it not so soft or moist). So, I try to think something different. Putting a bean jam ball between 2 small pancakes in stead of wrapping, it is much easier! And I try to use yoghurt and honey to make plain flour buns softer and moister without any oil, butter, eggs....
