How fast time passes. Can you believe it is already October? Or that Halloween is already in 3 weeks? I can’t believe it. I have a few ideas for Halloween recipes, but as always I have a time problem. This because I was sure I still have so much time. When I saw the first Halloween recipes on other blogs I was: is that not too early? No it is not. So I have to hurry. So I start my (hopefully) Halloween series with these pumpkin buns. They are not that scary but they would fit for a Halloween dinner. Or what do you think?
You need:
250
g flour
½
tsp salt
40
ml warm water
1
tbsp sugar
½
tsp dry yeast
75
g pumpkin puree
1
small egg, beaten
40
ml milk
25
g soft butter
You
get: 6 buns
Preparation
time: 1 hour
Resting
time: 2,5 hours
Baking
time: 10 minutes
This is how we proceed:
In a big bowl, stir together flour and salt.
Mix mater with sugar until dissolved. Sprinkle dry yeast on the surface of water and sugar mixture and let stand for 5 minutes (do not mix).
Add all ingredients to the flour and knead until you have a smooth, non sticky. If it is too stiff, knead in some water until it softens; if it is too sticky, sprinkle in small amounts of flour as needed.
Lightly oil a bowl and transfer the dough to the bowl, rolling it to coat it with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Place in a warm place and let rise for about 2 hours.
Knead dough for degas and divide into 6 pieces. Form into round balls and then shape to pumpkin. Use twine, and tie it around. Don't tie too tight, because the dough will rise.
Place on the lined baking sheet. Cover with a towel and let rise for 30 minutes.
Bake for 10 minutes.
Cool completely, then carefully remove the twine. As a pumpkin stem I used a stick.
