Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 After the pumpkin is steamed, sift and take 100 grams of pumpkin puree for later use

   

2. 2 Pour 200 grams of flour, 100 grams of pumpkin puree, 30 grams of caster sugar, and 2 grams of yeast into a bowl and use chopsticks to stir into a flocculent form

   

3. 3 Then grab it into a ball with your hands

   

4. 4 Move to a kneading mat and knead into a smooth dough, then cover with plastic wrap and ferment for an hour

   

5. 5 Ferment until doubled in size, take out the exhaust gas

   

6. 6 After deflating, divide into eight equal parts and roll into balls (you can also add your favorite filling)

   

7. 7 Take four cotton threads about 20 cm long, dip them in oil and arrange them into a "meter" shape

   

8. 8 Place the rounded dough on the center point of the "rice" shaped cotton thread

   

9. 9 Lift the cotton thread one by one and tie it, remember not to tie it too tightly

   

10. 10 Use chopsticks to poke a small hole in the center for easy decoration after steaming

    

11. 11 You can also plug in the holes first and then wind the wire to make the same pumpkin shape

    

12. 12 After everything is done, put it on an oiled steaming tray and let it rise for 20 to 30 minutes (the time depends on the degree of proofing)

    

13. 13 After it has risen to 1.5 times its size, put in cold water and steam over high heat for 20 minutes

    

14. 14 Leave the lid on for five minutes, then open the pot and let it dry until warm. Remove all the cotton threads

    

15. 15 Insert cookie sticks as pumpkin handles

    

16. 16 You can also insert leaves. Wouldn’t it be more realistic?
