Gyeongju bread

Method

1. 1 Simmer red beans until tender, then cook with sugar to form a thick filling that still contains some broken beans, and let cool.
2. 2 Mix the flour with softened butter, eggs, honey, and sugar until a soft dough forms, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. 3 Divide the dough into very small pieces because this pastry is almost entirely filled, with only a thin crust.
4. 4 Flatten the shell and wrap it around the large filling, pressing it down so that the shell covers the filling evenly and thinly.
5. 5 Flatten into a round shape, dot the surface with a pattern, then bake at 180 degrees for 12 minutes.

With an appliance

• Air fryer 55 min

  Replace step 5: spray a thin layer of oil onto the sides of the mold, use a 195-degree hot air oven for 8 minutes, rotating the tray at minute 4. The strong airflow shortens the time by about one-third compared to a conventional oven and browns the surface faster.
