5 Baked Goods to Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth

1. Melon Pan

This sweet bread features a crust that looks similar to melons, giving the dessert its name. Its cookie crust is similar to pineapple buns and pan dulces, and the underlying soft bread provides the perfect balance to the crispiness. Melon pans are often served with syrup, custard, chocolate, and whipped cream.

2. Yogurt Bread

This baked good looks like a small muffin, and you get a rush of frozen yogurt when you bite into it. Yogurt bread is also made in standard loaves and may feature ingredients such as berries or icing.

3. Dry Kase

This is a Japanese take on grilled cheese because it sandwiches cream cheese between cookie cheese-flavored bread. This baked good can be made with additional ingredients, like blueberries, for an extra-sweet taste.

4. Red Bean Paste Donut

Also known as an donuts, these treats are round and topped with powdered sugar. Instead of being stuffed with jelly or cream, this Japanese baked good is filled with red bean paste anko, then fried. To make the paste, beans boiled, ground, and mashed before adding sweetening agents.

5. Marimo Custard

This soft, dome-shaped bun is loaded with custard cream to create a wonderful sensory experience. The baked good gets its name from its round shape, resembling marimo. This spherical, velvety green algae is found at the bottom of rivers and is a protected species in Hokkaido.
