Steps for Pumpkin steamed buns

1
Peel the pumpkin, cut it into thin slices, steam it and press it into a puree with a spoon. Leave 1/5 tablespoon of white sugar, and pour the rest into the pumpkin puree and mix well.
2
Put the remaining white sugar in a bowl, pour 3 tablespoons of boiling water, and saccharify it. Wait until the water cools to about 35 degrees C, pour the yeast into the water to melt. Take a large basin, pour in the flour, pour the pumpkin puree into the middle, pour the yeast water on the flour, then mix all the ingredients well with chopsticks.
3
Knead the stirred flour into a smooth, non-sticky dough, then round and place in a bowl, cover or plastic wrap, and let stand for 1 hour to complete fermentation.
4
Sprinkle a little dry flour on the dough, knead it again into non-sticky dough, and divide into 3 portions. Take one portion and rub it into a stick shape, then cut it into small pieces to make steamed buns.
5
Sprinkle dry flour on the table, place the chopped steamed buns on the table, cover with plastic wrap, and wake up for another 15 minutes.
6
Lay wet gauze or grease on the steaming grid, place the steamed bun blank on the steaming grid, paying attention to leaving gaps. Put cold water in the pan, place the steaming tray in the pan, close the lid, steam for 15 minutes over medium heat, turn off the heat, and simmer for another 3-5 minutes before opening the lid and taking out the steamed buns.Pumpkin steamed buns Make Tips
1: If you prefer chewier steamed buns, use slightly less water when kneading. Once the dough no longer sticks to your hands, throw it down a few times, then knead again, throw again, knead again, toss it, and knead again. Repeat this process several times.
2: It is best to start steaming the buns with cold water. After turning off the heat, remember to let them rest covered for another 3-5 minutes before opening the lid. This ensures the buns are plump and prevents them from shrinking.
