How to Make Pumpkin and Purple Sweet Bread Buns

Pumpkin and purple sweet bread buns are a delicious, healthy treat, perfect for breakfast or snacks. Here’s a simple guide to making them.

Ingredients: For the dough, you’ll need 300g all-purpose flour, 1 egg, 30g sugar, 3g yeast, 120ml warm milk, and 20g softened butter. For the filling, mix 200g mashed pumpkin, 150g mashed purple sweet potato, 30g sugar, and a pinch of salt.

Steps:

1. Prepare the dough: Dissolve yeast in warm milk, let it sit for 5 minutes. Mix flour, sugar, and egg, then add the yeast mixture. Knead into a smooth dough, add butter, and continue kneading until elastic. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled in size.

2. Make the filling: Mash steamed pumpkin and purple sweet potato separately. Mix each with sugar and salt until smooth.

3. Shape the buns: Punch down the dough, divide into small balls. Flatten each, add a spoonful of pumpkin or purple sweet potato filling, seal tightly, and place on a baking sheet.

4. Proof and bake: Let the buns rise for 30 minutes. Brush with egg wash and bake at 180°C for 20 minutes until golden.
