  Wrapping the buns

  You take each dough ball, roll it out into a thin round shape, then place a filling ball inside and wrap it up, forming the bun’s top. Use a knife to make a vertical cut from the top down to create the peach shape.

  Then, you use a beetroot cut in half to dab on the top to create the red color of the peach. Under each bun, place a piece of paper.
