Are you also fascinated by the diverse flavours and textures of Japanese baked goods? If so, then you\u2019ll love anpan! This traditional Japanese speciality hides sweet bean paste inside a light and soft dough. With this recipe, I\u2019ll guide you through each passage of the baking process step by step.<\/p>\n\n

Anpan \u2013 A sweet journey through time<\/h3>\n\n

Anpan (\u3042\u3093\u30d1\u30f3) is more than just a pastry. For many Japanese people, it is a piece of childhood, a sweet memory of days gone by. The dough, so fluffy and soft, envelops the anko (red bean paste), which provides a special taste experience with its natural sweetness.<\/p>\n\n

In Japan, bread is called “pan”, a word derived from Portuguese. “An-pan” therefore literally means “sweet bean bread”. This pastry has fans of all ages and can be found in every Japanese bakery, each with its own secret recipe.<\/p>\n\n

\"Anpan<\/figure>\n\n

But who actually had the brilliant idea of putting sweet red bean paste inside a bun? This question had been on my mind too, and during my research I came across an interesting story. The origins of anpan date back to 1875 and are closely linked to a samurai named Kimura.<\/p>\n\n

After the end of the samurai era, he sought a new vocation and became a baker. Soon afterwards, he founded the now famous Kimuraya bakery and revolutionised the pastry by replacing mochi <\/a>with bread, thus creating the anpan.<\/p>\n\n

DIY Anko \u2013 the key to the perfect Anpan<\/h3>\n\n

Before you start the actual baking process, I recommend that you make the anko (red bean paste) yourself<\/a>. Although it may seem time-consuming, the result is all the more rewarding.<\/p>\n\n

Anko is a very famous, typical Japanese bean paste \u2013 it is made from small, red adzuki beans, which are gently cooked and heavily sweetened. Due to the thin skin of the beans, the finished paste is particularly soft, creamy and perfect for making all kinds of traditional Japanese sweets.<\/p>\n\n

Please make sure to prepare a coarse, nice and firm bean paste! This is also called Tsubu-an<\/strong>. The coarse consistency is ideal for use as a filling for anpan, Mochi, dorayaki or taiyaki. Click here for the recipe!<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n
