See below step by step for the recipe of the famous Chigiri Pan:

before starting

1. Determine the theme of the breads. For example, teddy bears, anime characters, etc.

3. Add dye of the chosen color.
4. Remove 2 balls from each dough (this will be the ears of the teddy bears).
5. Shape the dough into balls.
6. Place the balls with a minimum distance of 2 fingers apart.
7. Glue the ears using a little bit of water.
8. Cover with plastic and let rest for another 20 minutes.
