Tausa Piang & Red Bean Paste

 

This one of my favorite childhood piah, which I have so much memories of my late dad, because this is his favorite too. I remember he always ask mom to get him this like 10 pcs every Wednesday at a small town name Tamparuli. And that's how it became my favorite too. 

Since I stay here in Indonesia,  getting this pastry is impossible and that's how I started to make my own. I make red bean paste from stretch too. Always good to make our own, sugar level is just perfect not too sweet. 

This recipe make only 7pcs of piah. Yes due to a small family of mine that can't be finished if I make a big amount of piah.

Water dough

If you use hand will be sticky, so use a fork to mix water dough until all comes together and use hand to shape it into a ball set aside. Same with oil dough. 

Water dough is bigger than oil dough. 

Roll both into long shape, cut both dough into equally 7 pcs.  This recipe can go double for a full 14pcs or more piah if you require. 

Take 1 pc water dough, pull and flatten with hand and take 1 pc oil dough, put in the middle of water dough and wrap it, round into a ball. Set aside, repeat until finish. Cover and Rest for 20 mins. 

Dust surface , take 1 dough, use a rolling pin to roll out into rectangle shape. Roll it up into Swiss roll. Rotate position, use a rolling pin to roll out again into rectangle and roll up into Swiss roll for the last time. Cover with a cloth and set aside let it rest. 

Dust surface, take the 1st roll and flatten it, use a rolling pin to roll out circle.  Fill 1 portion of filling red bean in the middle and seal it tightly. 

Fold the dough into ball, put on line baking tray, gently use ur hand to press the piang lightly or use a rolling pin to flatten it. 

Take a fork, poke the piah lightly.  Brush egg wash ( 1 egg yolk mix 1tsp water, or oil) on top of piah and sprinkle sesame seeds is optional.
