Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 5 grams Instant yeast
- 20 grams Sugar
- 5 grams Salt
- 150 milliliters Low-fat milk
- 1 Egg (beaten)
- 15 milliliters Vegetable oil
- 200 grams Pre-made low-fat Japanese curry filling
- 100 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 0 Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, mix the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt together.
Step 2
Warm the low-fat milk slightly until it's lukewarm, then pour it into the flour mixture along with the beaten egg and vegetable oil.
Step 3
Stir until a dough begins to form, then knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Place the kneaded dough into a bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Step 5
Once risen, gently punch down the dough to release excess air. Divide it into 8 equal portions.
Step 6
Roll each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball, then place a spoonful of the pre-made low-fat Japanese curry filling into the center.
Step 7
Carefully wrap the dough around the filling, pinching the edges tightly to seal and shape it back into a ball.
Step 8
Once all the balls are filled and sealed, lightly spray them with cooking oil and roll each one gently with the panko breadcrumbs until coated.
Step 9
Place the coated balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 10
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
Step 11
Bake the coated dough balls in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 12
Remove from the oven and let the Kare Pan cool slightly before serving.
