About

You’ll find red bean doughnuts or bread in most Korean pastry shops. Red bean paste often comes in cans in smooth and chunky options, but if all you can find is the latter, you can purée it in a food processor until smooth, if you like. A light dusting of sugar on the doughnut is the perfect finishing touch.

Method

In a very small saucepan, heat the milk to about 41°C/105°F. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, mix the flour, sugar, salt and yeast on low speed. Add the eggs and warmed milk and beat on medium speed for 5 minutes until a smooth but sticky ball of dough forms. With the mixer running on low speed, add the butter piece by piece, waiting for each piece to be incorporated bef
