Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Wash and cut the pumpkin and put it in the steamer for 20 minutes. Wash the red dates and other accessories, remove the cores of the red dates and cut them into small pieces for later use!

   

2. 2 After the pumpkin is steamed, pour out the excess water, add an appropriate amount of sugar and stir into a puree, then set aside to cool. Take a bowl, add about 80 grams of warm water, add about 5 grams of yeast powder, and stir evenly.

   

3. 3 Put the flour, pumpkin puree, and accessories into the container and stir for about 20 minutes or you can use a spatula to stir. Leave to rise at room temperature until doubled in size. Bring the steamer to a boil and steam it for half an hour, then turn off the heat and simmer for 5 minutes! (Just put the mixed dough into half of the container, because fermentation also requires space).
