Black Sesame Bun
I bought this tube form sweet black sesame butter during a Taiwanese food fair in UNY some months ago. This paste is not too sweet and it can be used as a filling for dumplings(tang yuan) or buns. It can also be used as a spread for toast. Really handy!
Today I used this paste as a filling for my bun. I made the bun into smaller size to fit into my 6-cavity muffin pan. I liked the way the buns looked with the pretty muffin paper cups. Very presentable as give-aways!
See the molten black sesame paste...yummy!
This is the texture of the bun/bread.
This is the paste that I used.
This is my breadmaker Kenwood BM300.
Ingredients: (Makes about 14 pieces)
240g Bread flour
30g Cake flour
4g instant yeast
40g sugar
1/8 tsp salt
30g butter
1 egg + milk/water to measure up to 170g
Filling:
Black sesame paste
Method:
1. Put all ingredients in the bread machine as per instructions for your machine in the dough cycle.
2. When the dough is ready, remove from the machine and punch down to release the air.
3. Divide dough into 35g pieces wrap in the filling and roll it into a round ball shape.
4. Put them into a muffin pan lined with paper cups and prove for another 25 minutes.
5. Bake at 190C for 15 - 20 minutes.
Notes:
I did not apply egg wash.

Hi Florence,
Your BSB looks really good! I had gotten a breadmachine last X'mas, can't wait to try out your recipe!!!

Hi Florence,
Do you have a pic of your bread machine? i am thinking of getting one, but i honestly have not seen one before.
Thanks!
ning's mummy,
I've posted photo of my breadmaker.
Hi Florence,
Thanks for your recipe, which I tried last night. I guess I did not punch out the air before wrapping in the filling or I over-proofed it 'cos my bread rose very high and there was a big hole between the filling and bread. But the dough was very good, soft even till now. Thx again,

Hi Juliana,
Nevermind, you can always do it again. I just use this recipe to make my coconut buns and they were yummy too!
Tricia,
Do try this, not a bad recipe. :D
Hi Florence,

Greatly appreciated!
Ning's mummy,
You're welcome. :D
I will try it and said you (sorry for my english!! I'm Nad18 in KC ;) )
Hi Nadia,
Do give this a try and let me know ok!
How do I proof the dough? Where do I keep them to do so?
Hi Florence,
This is an odd request but since I'm living in North America I'm unable to find the black sesame paste that you used for your black sesame bun. The only one I found smelled of oil and didn't seem too fresh anymore. Do you think that you could send me a sample?

isabelle,
Drop me your email address and I'll contact you via your email. :)
Hi Florence
Thank you so much for your bread recipe. I tried out by hand and it turned out very good. However, I have trouble during the kneading and shaping stage. When you handle the dough to put the filling in, is your dough very sticky? Mine is ultra sticky and I have to apply lots of flour on my hands and the dough itself while shaping to prevent sticking. thank you for reading. hope you can enlighten me.

Jonie,
The dough shouldn't be sticky at all.
Liquid content is only about 62% to flour weight. My usual percentage is about 65%.
Anyway, make sure you knead enough before the first prove. As you knead the dough will be less sticky. :)
Hi Florence
thanks for the quick reply. My mistake. I made 2.5 times your recipe and miscalculated the water part by a lot! but the result of your wonderful recipe still turned out great, I am so impressed.
Jonie
