My Vietnamese partner loved it so much when we first ate this type of bread in a supermarket in Vietnam. The soft chewy texture inside as well as crunchy skin outside and lightly sweet and sesame flavor really impressed us! I recreated this bread at home to quell our craving of this delectable bread, as we cannot find it sold anywhere in Quebec City Canada! It's one of my favorite and most popular recipes. Korean Sesame Mochi Bread is also called Dino Egg as it looks like a dinosaur egg.

Ingredients

• 25 g [1 ¾ tbsp] unsalted butter
• 25 g sugar [2 tbsp]
• 2 g salt [⅓ tsp]
• 125 ml milk [½cup]
• 25 g all purpose flour
• [3 tbsp]
• 110 g tapioca starch [⅔ cup]
• 50 g egg [4 tbsp or about 1 large egg]
• 10 g black sesame seed [1 tbsp]

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350’F (180’C) with a rack in the center.
2. Cook the unsalted butter, sugar, salt, milk, then add the all-purpose flour and mix to combine.
3. Add the tapioca starch and egg into the mixture then mix until a soft dough forms.
4. Add the black sesame seeds to the dough, then transfer to a piping bag and pipe 8 to 10 balls on the baking tray.
5. Bake for about 28 minutes. Enjoy while they're still warm!

Notes:

The dough texture is perfect when it can fall down in V letter form under the spatula while lifting it.
