Gemini: Japanese Melonpan Turtle Bread

This air sign is fuelled by curiosity, socialising, intellectualizing, and flitting from one thing to the next. Thus, making this cute Japanese sweet bun the perfect new recipe for them to try out. Since Geminis can be outgoing and playful while also being serious and restless, this delicious recipe strikes the ideal balance between fun and timeless. This turtle bread combines a yeast-based matcha bread with a layer of chocolate cookie crumble for a bake that's almost too cute to eat. The recipe does require a couple hours of proofing the dough — aka letting it rise — but once it's ready, all you have to do is roll out the turtles' little arms, legs, and reptilian heads. Enjoy!
