Super cute pumpkin and purple rice buns

Overview

Pumpkin is a very common vegetable in our lives. It has a sweet taste, attractive color and high nutritional value. Pumpkin-made delicacies are both delicious and beautiful, such as delicious pumpkin porridge, soft and glutinous pumpkin cakes, sweet pumpkin glutinous rice balls, and moist pumpkin rice cereal. The bread I made today uses pumpkin puree and dough, and the filling is sweet and soft purple rice. When the two are combined together, the taste is self-evident! The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, so make this golden pumpkin and purple rice bun and have a happy Reunion Festival with your family!

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Start the bread machine, put the ingredients except butter into the bread bucket, knead until the surface of the dough is smooth and a relatively thick film can be pulled out, add softened butter and continue kneading until it is fully expanded, take out the dough, put it into a container, cover it with plastic wrap, and ferment at room temperature. (Room temperature is about 28 degrees)

   

2. 2 Ferment until doubled in size. Dip some dry flour into the middle of the dough and insert it into the middle of the dough. If the hole does not collapse or shrink, it means the fermentation is OK.

   

3. 3 After fermentation is complete, take out the dough to deflate and roll it into a round shape.

   

4. 4 Divide the dough into 8 equal parts with a spatula, roll into balls, cover with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.

   

5. 5 Take a small piece of dough, flatten it with your hands, squeeze out as much air as possible, shape it into a large round cake, and put the purple rice filling on it. (See tips for how to make purple rice stuffing)

   

6. 6 Wrap it up and pinch it tightly.

   

7. 7 At this time, soak the prepared cotton thread in oil and arrange it into a rice shape. Roll the wrapped dough into a round shape and place the seam downward at the middle intersection of the rice shape.

   

8. 8 Lift each cotton thread, hold it in your hand, twist it into a bunch, and tie it into a knot, leaving a certain distance in the middle because the dough will expand during the second rise. If you find that the dividing distance is uneven, you can adjust it slightly before tying.

   

9. 9 After tying each piece of dough one by one, place it on the baking sheet one by one, keeping a distance between them.

   

10. 10 Place in a warm and humid place for the second fermentation.

    

11. 11 After fermentation is completed, place it in the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake at 175 degrees for about 20 minutes.

    

12. 12 Bake the surface until golden brown and take it out of the oven. Brush the surface with a thin layer of butter that has softened into liquid form. Unmold immediately and place on the grill to cool.

    

13. 13 Remove the cotton thread and insert the sweet potato stems prepared in advance to pretend to be pumpkin handles. The super cute pumpkin purple rice bread is ready. It is golden and looks very realistic!
