Christmas golden bread

Overview

There is a kind of holiday bread called golden bread at Christmas. It is named after it contains a lot of fat, sugar and egg liquid, and the finished product is golden in color. I did not follow the high-oil and high-sugar formula, but replaced it with healthy pumpkin puree to create a golden color. The formula is healthy, tastes good, and the color is still beautiful. Haha, this is a healthy version of the Chinese formula for holiday bread. The bread is medium-sized and contains pumpkin puree. The bread is very soft and delicious.
