South Korean honey bread dish

About this dish

Kkulppang (Korean: 꿀빵), also known as honey bread, is a South Korean dish. It is a sticky, sweet bread filled with sweetened red bean paste. Softer, fluffier ones that are made in Tongyeong, South Gyeongsang Province in South Korea, are called Tongyeong-kkulppang, being a local specialty. In an adjacent city called Jinju, crunchier Jinju-kkulppang is sold as a local specialty. Shortly after the Korean War, many bakeries in Tongyeong were sold. Fishermen and shipbuilding workers who worked on the beach simply ate a meal or snack because they could be kept for a long time despite the warm climate of Tongyeong.
