Скачать или смотреть Red Envelope bread 🧧🍞 红包吐司 for Chinese New Year

One of the most common tradition of CNY is to give 红包 (literally means red bag) 🧧
In Chinese 包 can mean both bag and bread, so took the chance here to make another form of “red bag" 😆
Red envelope usually has gift money in it and symbolizes good wishes and luck for the new year ahead.
The character I wrote is 發 which means get rich. It is from the traditional Chinese New Year greeting 恭喜發財 Kung Hei Fat Choi (gōng xǐ fā cái).
❤️ Red dough is colored with red yeast rice powder
