Ingredients
- 200 g Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 50 g Tapioca starch
- 1 tsp Xanthan gum
- 1 tbsp Instant yeast
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 180 ml Unsweetened almond milk
- 40 ml Vegetable oil
- 1 large Egg
- 250 g Red bean paste
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, mix together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.
Step 2
In a separate small saucepan, warm the almond milk over low heat until lukewarm (around 38°C or 100°F). Remove from heat and stir in vegetable oil.
Step 3
Incorporate the warm almond milk mixture, along with the beaten egg, into the dry ingredients. Mix until a smooth dough forms.
Step 4
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 6
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Flatten each piece slightly and place a heaping tablespoon of red bean paste at the center.
Step 7
Carefully wrap the dough around the red bean paste, pinching the seams to seal, and shape into a round bun.
Step 8
Place the formed buns on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 9
Optional: Brush the tops of the buns with an egg wash made by beating one egg with a tablespoon of water for a glossy finish.
Step 10
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free red bean buns warm or at room temperature.
