Chuseok is just around the corner!
So, we prepared Chuseok baking!
I made chestnut manju!!!
Among the many types of bread with sediment, I made chestnut manju for Chuseok, and it's easier and fun to make than I thought ^^
Let me tell you the ingredients to prepare for Chuseok baking chestnut manju.

First, break an egg and a half and put it in a bowl.

Mix half of the egg evenly.
For the amount of half an egg, I broke one egg and mixed it to make egg water, and then I used half of it!
(Apply the remaining half of the egg mixture on top of the chestnut manju!)

I'm going to make chestnut manju dough, so I moved it to a big mixing bowl!

Add 60g of sugar and 20g of starch syrup to the egg mixture evenly mixed with 1 1/2 eggs.

And mix evenly with a rubber spatula.

Egg water, sugar, and starch syrup are mixed evenly!

Store at room temperature and add 25g of softened butter and mix well.

When I added butter and mixed it, the butter kind of mixed separately!
I couldn't mix it like the butter was completely melted
I just proceeded, but there was no problem later!

Now put 260g of flour and 8g of baking powder on a sieve.

Sift it finely!

Mix it gently with a spatula to make a heavier dough!

You don't have to make a dough that's too fine!
Make dough a lump to a certain extent.

Then cover it with plastic wrap and rest the dough in the refrigerator for an hour.

While the dough is resting, add the filling inside the chestnut manju
I'm going to split it up and make it.

Measure the white sediment into 25g and make it round.

I measured the white sediment at 500g, so I got two more sediments.
If you use 450g white sediment, you'll get exactly 18 sediments!

Wrap up the chestnut manju's filling and put it in the refrigerator for a while.

Remove enough tissue from refrigerator for 1 hour.

Measure 25g into a lump, just like white sediment, and make the dough round.

There are only 18 chestnut manju doughs.

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and keep it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

Chestnut manju dough and lumps of sediment aged well in the refrigerator
It's so cute when it's round!
Preheat the oven at 180 degrees with the upper and lower lights on
Please preheat it for 30 minutes.

Press one chestnut manju dough and spread it out thinly like dumpling skin
Put white sediment in the middle.

And knead it well so that you don't see the white sediment.

And knead well with your hands so that the entire surface of the dough is smooth!

Press the dough flat with your hands and make it cute and sharp like a chestnut.

Then, dip sesame seeds in the round part of the dough and stick them together.

The dough is moist, so sesame sticks well!
If you think sesame seeds don't stick to the batter, you can dip it in water.

I'm a mini-oven, so there are 6 chestnuts in one tray!
Pan it in the oven pan like this.

Then use one and a half eggs in the chestnut manju batter and spread the remaining half egg mixture on the chestnut manju.

Apply bread brush to areas other than sesame seeds.

If you spread the egg mixture and bake it, the color of the bread comes out golden and pretty.

Bake in the oven at 180 degrees for 25 minutes with the top and bottom lights on.
The oven baking time and temperature vary depending on the temperature!
It's always good to check while looking at the bread!

The visual chestnut manju that I thought came out!
It's so, so, so cute!
It's well-done!

Transfer the well-cooked chestnut manju to a cooling net.

Manju tastes good after it's cold, but fresh ones are even better!

It's moderately sweet and soft, so I think the elderly will really like it.
The outside had a crispy texture, so it was very delicious

If you continue to bake the remaining dough, it's done.

It's like chestnuts hanging from the cooling net

It's hard to stop after eating one!
While making it, I ate it in the middle and my mom ate it, so I plated it with 14 chestnuts! ^^

I tried plating with cute dolls, too!

Golden chestnut manju So cute and pretty!

It would be great to give homemade chestnut manju as a gift for Chuseok, which is coming Chuseok!
How about wrapping chestnut manju and giving it to them as a Chuseok gift?
