In order I do after I put together a batch of mashed purple candy potatoes, I froze 100 g parts of the anko paste in ziplock baggage. I all the time clear and reuse the ziplock baggage as I don’t like single use plastic a lot.
Figuring out that I had anko paste out there to me, I made a decision so as to add it to a kamut sourdough bread. You may recall that I like making my anko paste a bit chunky relatively than completely easy. I noticed hoping that in a bread, you may see a number of the azuki beans nonetheless intact within the crumb. I solely used 10% so we’ll see in case you can really style the anko paste, I’m guessing that it is going to be a delicate trace which is sweet with me.
