How to make pumpkin steamed buns:

1. Cut the pumpkin into pieces, cut off the skin and scoop out the pulp, cut into thin slices, place on a plate, and steam in a steamer.

2. Take out the pumpkin from the plate and crush it with a spoon into pumpkin puree. Let the pumpkin puree cool and set aside. At this time, use a scale to weigh the pumpkin puree.

3. Pour the flour into a basin, add yeast, add sugar, then add pumpkin puree, stir with chopsticks, first stir into dough, and then use your hands to knead into a hard dough.

4. Sprinkle some flour on the chopping board to prevent sticking, knead the dough evenly until the surface is smooth and delicate, then roll the dough into long strips and cut into six pieces.

5. Take a dough and knead it until smooth. Cover the kneaded buns with cotton cloth to prevent them from drying out and cracking. After kneading, put it in the pot.

6. Add enough water to the steamer. If the temperature is low, you can turn on the fire and boil the water to 20 degrees, then turn off the heat. That is to say, the water is warm but not hot, soak the white cotton cloth, dry it and spread it on the mat.

7. Put in the steamed bun embryos, leaving enough space in the middle to prevent the steamed buns from fermenting and sticking. Cover the pot and let it rest until the buns puff up and double in size.

8. Turn on the fire, bring it to steam, then adjust to medium heat and steam for 20 minutes. Do not open the lid immediately to prevent the steamed buns from shrinking. Wait three minutes before opening the lid.
