Purple Sweet Potato Red Bean Buns 紫薯红豆面包

Today just wanted to bake some bread for tomorrow breakfast. Since i have homemade red bean paste and mashed purple sweet potato which leftover from making purple sweet potato sushi the other day.So just came out with this new recipe.

Still using the same recipe from earlier purple sweet potato hot cross buns , just fill in with red bean paste this time.

This time i gotten not so good quality of purple sweet potato, so i can't get sharp purple colour ..Nevertheless this bun is soft and love the less sweet homemade red bean paste.
