Recipe Ingredients
- 1×7 grams sachet of dried yeast
- 1 teaspoon caster sugar
- 4 tablespoons water, lukewarm
- 100 millilitres milk, lukewarm
- 50 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 400 grams plain flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 egg, at room temperature
- 50 grams caster sugar
- 150 grams pumpkin purée
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons milk for brushing
Methods
1. Activate the yeast
Dissolve the yeast with 1 teaspoon of sugar in 4 tablespoons of lukewarm water and let it sit until the yeast is foamy; it takes about 5-10 minutes.
2. Make the dough
Heat the milk in a saucepan and melt the butter in it. Set it aside to cool to room temperature.
In a big mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and cinnamon, and give it a whisk.
In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together the egg and sugar. Add the pumpkin purée and mix well.
Make a well in the flour and add the activated yeast as well as the egg mixture, the oil, and the milk-butter-mixture. Knead with the dough hook of the mixer until a smooth and elastic dough forms.
Cover the dough with a tea towel and let it rise in a warm place for about one hour, or until it doubles in size.
3. Shape the dough
Turn out the dough on a lightly floured surface, knead a few times with your hands, and divide into 9 equal pieces. The dough is quite moist, but resist the temptation to add too much flour. Form each piece of dough into a ball and place it on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Cover again with a tea towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.
While the buns are resting, preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
4. Bake
Once the oven has reached the desired temperature, brush the pumpkin buns with milk. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown in colour.
5. Serve
After baking, let the buns cool slightly on the baking tray. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, or serve them still warm. Serve the pumpkin buns with your favourite dishes and spreads.
Enjoy!
