Directions/做法

– mix all ingredients in bread machine or mixer till dough is soft and non-tacky. cover with cling wrap and proceed with first proofing till 2.5~3x the original size
利用面包机或搅拌器搅拌所有材料，将面团做成圆球状，盖上保鲜膜进行第一次发酵至面团膨胀2.5～3倍

divide dough into equal portions of 20-25g, cover with cling wrap and rest for 10-15 mins
面团分割成20～25克等份，再次盖上保鲜膜静置10-15分钟

roll each dough into a flat disc
将面团擀平

place 30g of red bean paste onto centre of dough
将30克红豆泥放在面皮上面

seal seams well
封口收好，捏紧

seam side downwards; place an almond on top of each bun and press it gently. cover with cling wrap and proceed with second proofing for 40-50mins
收口朝下。取杏仁，放在面团中央轻轻按压一下，盖上保鲜膜，进行二次发酵。约40-50分钟

– bake in preheated oven of 180 degrees C for 12 mins. brush a light coat of egg wash on buns after removing from oven
放进预热至180摄氏度的烤箱里烤约12分钟。取出后趁热在上面薄薄的涂抹一层蛋汁变完成

Personal notes/温馨小贴士:

 i omitted the almond. i prepared a paper cut out (not really cut out though.. i just used a toothpick to poke holes ^^) of a tree
and some dark cocoa powder (see below)
我没用上杏仁。自己准备了剪纸（其实不算剪。。是用牙签慢慢刺成的小树）和黑可可粉 （参考以下图片）

after second proofing, i brushed the bun with a light coat of egg wash, waited for it to dry a little, then place the cut out on the bun.
Please ensure you grease the base of this cut out! then, brush dark cocoa powder over the cut out
二次发酵后，我在餐包上刷上薄薄一层蛋汁，然后让它稍微收干。之后，将剪纸摆在餐包上。
记得，一定要在剪纸底部上刷上黄油。在剪纸上抹上黑可可粉即可

aren’t these lovely? go ahead and make your decorated buns
