Korean Mochi Bread 韩式麻薯面包
This small round ball shape Korean Mochi Bread looks cute (some called them Dino eggs) is crusty on the outside and chewy on the inside. The recipe is different from the Chocolate Mochi Balls that I posted some time ago. That was simple with a quick mixing of the ingredients whereas this Korean Mochi Bread needs to light boil the butter, milk and bread flour together before adding in the tapioca flour and egg. You don’t need to add in the whole egg but little by little until the soft dough mixture gets to the right consistency by achieving a ‘V’ shape drop when lifting up the spatula. Fill the soft dough into a piping bag and pipe out to about a 4 cm dome. Dip your finger with little water and dap on the tips of each dough to flatten a little. Piping out the dough will hold the shape properly as it will puff up into a nice round ball with airy pockets after baking. Baking time is about 20-25 minutes and it is best to be eaten fresh from the oven. The bread is still very chewy after being cooled but you may re-toast it for a few minutes in the oven for a crusty bite. I used matcha powder to bring out the matcha fragrance with black sesame seeds but you can use chocolate chips, cocoa powder or even cheese powder, all to your personal preference.

Korean Mochi Bread
Ingredients
- 30 g bread flour
- 1/2 tbsp matcha powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 150 ml milk
- 25 g caster sugar
- 30 g unsalted butter
- 120 g tapioca flour (starch)
- 65 g egg without shell - lightly beaten
- 1 tbsp black sesame seed
Instructions
- Sieve bread flour and matcha together, set aside.
- Pour milk into a bowl, then add in bread flour and matcha powder, stir well. Add sugar and salt, stir well again and strain.
- Melt butter at low heat. Then pour in milk mixture (step 2). At medium heat, stir mixture till almost boiled and starting to thicken to a soft dough. Off heat.
- Pour in tapioca flour in 2 batches and blend well with a rubber spatula to smooth texture and leave to cool down for a few minutes.
- Add beaten egg a little at the time, Mix till egg liquid all absorbed in the dough mixture before adding the next. When you see the soft dough form a 'V' drop when lifting up the spatula, then it is done. (the total amount of egg will depend how much the flour been absorb. I used about 60g egg liquid **the mini bread will not puff up if too much egg is added). Lastly add black sesame seeds and mix well.
- Pour the soft dough into piping bag and pipe out like a dome shape (about 4cm) on baking tray lined with parchment paper ( make18 pieces). Dip your finger with water and flatten the tip to make a smooth top.
- Bake in preheated oven at 190 degrees C for about 20-25 minutes till crisp.
Notes
- can use chocolate chips, cocoa powder or even cheese powder, all to your personal preference.

- 韩式麻薯面包 Korean Mochi Bread
- 这款圆圆的麻薯面包外形不但好看，也很可爱，也有人称它为空心恐龙蛋。其实一点都不难做，尤其是新鲜出炉口感最好，外脆内Q软，超级的弹牙好吃。隔天吃的话，外层就不脆了，但内部还是很嚼劲。喜欢的话可以放进小烤箱烤几分钟就可以保持外层的脆度了。
- 材料：
- 30克 高筋面粉
- 1/2汤匙 抹茶粉
- 1/4茶匙 盐
- 150毫升 牛奶
- 25克 细砂糖
- 30克 无含盐牛油
- 120克 木薯粉
- 65克 鸡蛋（ 不带壳），打撒
- 1汤匙 黑芝麻
- 做法：
- 将面包粉及抹茶粉混匀备用。
- 牛奶倒入碗中，加入粉类，拌匀。然后放入砂糖及盐，再搅拌均匀过筛备用。
- 小火加热牛油至融化。倒入牛奶混合物（步骤2）。换中火，搅拌混合物至微滚及开始呈现软面团就可以熄火了。
- 将木薯粉分2次加入，用刮刀翻拌均匀至滑，放置几分钟待凉。
- 鸡蛋液分次加入，蛋液一定要完全吸收才继续加入蛋液，再拌匀至刮刀捞起面糊呈现三角状态即可。**蛋液不用加到完，要看粉类吸收量。我用了大约60克。蛋液加了太多的话，面包烤的时候就很难膨胀** 最后倒入黑芝麻，拌匀即可。
- 将软面团装入裱花袋里，剪一个开口把面糊挤在烤盘上约4公分大（底部铺纸），约18粒。然后手指沾点水把那表层的尖段轻轻的抹平。这样麻薯面包烘烤后就会变得圆圆的。
- 放进预热烤箱摄氏190度烤约20-25分钟至外层酥脆即可取。
They do look like Dino eggs, very cute too. Haven’t tasted this type of Korean bread before but they do look good!
Can use potato starch instead of tapioca starch?
Hi Cass, yes you can use potato starch but maybe a little different in consistency.
I like the combo of crusty yet chewy texture..and they look cute too.
