Mushroom buns

Overview

Making mushroom buns was purely accidental. I accidentally sprinkled cocoa powder on the fermented dough. After steaming, I found the texture of mushrooms. I wondered if I could make a mushroom shape, so I tried making it in my free time. Although it didn't look like it, I felt a sense of accomplishment when I saw the fruits of my labor. Doing it yourself is fun.
