Today I was making 'An Pan', that is a Japanese sweet bread roll filled with Sweet Azuki (Red Bean) Paste. Suddenly my 'laziness' kicked in and I wanted to make something easier. So, instead of wrapping the Azuki paste with the dough, I rolled it, placed it in a loaf tin, and baked it.. Once the pans are cool enough to handle, remove the bread from the pan and allow the loaves to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing or serving.
