1. 1

   Dissolve 10 g of yeast in 150 ml of warm water and knead with 300 g of flour into a smooth dough. Let rise for 1 hour.

   ⏱️ approx. 18 min

   💡 Tip: Agepan is a deep-fried, sugar-dusted yeast roll — a nostalgic classic from Japanese school canteens.

2. 2

   Shape the risen dough into oblong rolls or balls and let them rise briefly once more.

   ⏱️ approx. 15 min

   💡 Tip: The shape often resembles a hot dog bun. The second rise makes them light and airy.

3. 3

   Deep-fry the rolls in oil heated to 175 °C until golden brown all over, drain and generously roll in 80 g of icing sugar (classically with a little kinako or cocoa).

   ⏱️ approx. 12 min

   💡 Tip: Roll them in the icing sugar while freshly fried and still warm so it adheres. Kinako (roasted soy flour) is the traditional version.
