1. Steam in the pan with cold water. After turning off the heat, be sure to simmer for about 2 minutes, and then remove the lid, so that the steamed buns will not retract easily.
2. Steam the pumpkin puree. This way, the steamed pumpkin has a high water content, so there is no need to add water and flour. The details depend on the water content of the pumpkin puree. If it is too dry, add less water. You can also beat it into mud and dough without steaming.
3. Pumpkin puree can also be pressed into puree with a spoon. The small particles of pumpkin are kept inside, which will taste better.
4. Add less sugar to the flour to make the yeast ferment faster and the steamed buns softer and fuller.
