Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Make the outer dough. Place the ingredients into a bowl. Add water and mix together. Knead well with your hands until smooth. Place the dough on a cloth and let it sit.

* Step 2

Make the inner dough. Place the ingredients into a bowl and combine. Knead until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky.

* Step 3

Divide both the outer and inner dough into 15 portions each. Wrap the outer dough around the inner dough. Tightly seal the seam.

* Step 4

Place the seam on the bottom and use a rolling pin to roll into an oval.

* Step 5

Roll starting from the point farthest away to the point closest to you.

* Step 6

Turn it so that it faces sideways and roll it out one more time starting from the rolled end.

* Step 7

Roll.

* Step 8

Roll it out one more time from the rolled end.

* Step 9

Fold into 3 layers. This completes the cake dough.

* Step 10

Finish making the cakes. Roll the dough out into a circle. Fill with the tsubu-an and wrap it up.

* Step 11

Place the seam on the bottom and tightly seal it closed. Flatten it out and roll it into a circle. Use scissors to make 7-8 cuts in the top. Twist the slits so the the cut ends face upwards.
