Steamed Pumpkin Buns aka pumpkin mantou - 南瓜馒头

Phew!! finally i found a recipe to post for AB event to support Ms B ^_^

 Thanks to Ms B the host for 'May' Asipring Bakers event for letting me know that the event has extended by 2 days and the round up will be on the 3rd of June.

i was like yeah! yeah! yeah !! 

Actually, i have a few more baoS that i have prepared earlier, hopefully i will be able to post all before 'Bao Ho Chiak AB event ends.

This is a soft, fluffy and healthy mantou. Mantou means steamed buns in chinese. It is a plain bun that has no filling inside. It is so good to eat with kopi o or chinese tea. Pumpkin puree is added into this mantou. A wonderful thing about this recipe is that it do not use shortening  but sesame oil. I uses olive oil instead.

享受简单又健康的早餐是件很幸福的事

吃着香香的南瓜馒头再配上一杯热热的'kopi 0' 太爽了!!

南瓜馒头做法简单,材料健康又养身而且还不错吃噢!!

This is how i prepare mashed pumpkin .

1..Steamed pumpkin with skin on for 20 minutes.

首先把南瓜蒸熟压成泥.

Let's see what is the ingredients:

Steamed PumpKin buns aka pumpkin mantou ...南瓜馒头

recipe source:YUM YUM Magazine (volume 83)

(I make 10 steamed buns with this recipe)

Ingredients:

300g plain flour

100g pumpkin - steamed and mashed

2 tbsp sugar

1/2 tsp salt

3 tbsp sesame oil (i used olive oil)

120-130ml water(i used 125ml)

6g instead yeast (i used 1 1/2 tsp which is about 4.5g)

1 tbsp black sesame (i did not add this)

To do:

• Combine all the ingredients and mix into a smooth dough. Cover with a wet towel and rest for 15 minutes. (i used my bread maker to mix and knead. Cover with cling wrap and rest for 20 minutes)
• Divide dough into small portion of 50g each.
• Divide each dough into 3 small parts and roll into strips. Plait them together (please refer to pic A and pic B above) and place into paper cup. Leave to proof for 15-20 minutes.
• Steam over high heat for 12-15 minutes. Remove and serve warm.

** Store the cool steam buns in a air tight container.  I found this buns stay soft until the following day. But if you wanted a more softer texture the following day do re- steam it for 2-3 minutes and serve warm.

请你来喝下午茶吧!!
