Hello, community greetings, and happy Halloween. I am honest to say Halloween is not part of my culture of scary things, so instead of going scary, I would like to make some fun treats. Which can make us and the neighborhood children happy.
Ingredients:
600 grams of white flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tbsp dry yeast
1 tsp pink salt
5o ml sugar
1 cup pumpkin puree I am using homemade
2 tbsp peanut oil or other oil.
2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
1 cup wheat bran
Using 1/2 small pumpkin
cut pumpkin.
Peel it.
Cook it and blend it using an immersion blender or any blender
Put all dry ingredients in the bowl.
Add 1 cup of pumpkin puree.
Mix all things
.Gradually start adding water I use the leftover 2 cups of pumpkin water that I cooked pumpkin.
Start making sticky dough.
I add 1 cup of wheat fiber to make it less sticky.
Mix wheat bran in the dough and knead it
Add oil.
After done smooth the dough cover it and keep it aside for around 2 hours.
after 2 hours the dough becomes double.
Put it on the silicon sheet.
and using a folding method to make a smooth texture.
Divide dough into an appropriate size.
take one piece and press lightly with your fingers.
Spread some pumpkin seeds close on all sides and reshape in the small ball. Or use chocolate any jam, vegan cheese, or dry fruits.
save some of the dough to use later to make pumpkin stems.
After finishing making balls use kitchen string to form pumpkin-shaped buns.
Tie the string in the center and roll it around all sides of the bun how you like the design
See the photos.
It looks like this going in the oven.
Place them in a baking tray and preheat the oven to 180 C.
Using a sharp knife or blade make cut on each section of the pumpkin bun to prevent cracking.
bake for around 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes remove from the oven and take off the string using a knife or scissor. the buns will rise during baking so some of the string is a little inside. this is no problem but remove it carefully to avoid breaking up the half-baked bun
make small pieces of dough to resemble a stem and attach them to the top using a little water to make them stick.
Dissolve saved sugar in the water.
Brush the sugar water on the buns.
Put back in the oven for around 20 more minutes.
Remove from the oven.
Cool on a wire rack.
Enjoy. notice the pumpkin seeds in the middle of the pumpkin bun!
Thank you.
