Braided bean paste buns

Overview

I also made my family’s favorite red bean paste bread. While it was being baked, my son stayed by the oven. He said that the smell of the bread made him not want to be anywhere else. Although it takes several hours to make bread once, seeing how much my family likes it makes me like making bread myself more and more. I have become lazy, and when I have enough time, I can enjoy the fun of kneading dough by hand.
