Imitation Potato Buns
1.
First, peel the pumpkin and cut into pieces, and steam it on the pot. (I bought more than a catty of pumpkin, steamed a little more at one time, and made the rest can be used to fry pumpkin pie, and various pastries can be colored)
2.
Put the flour in a large basin, and when the pumpkin is cold to warm, add yeast and knead into a smooth pumpkin dough. (Note: Reserve a spoon of flour and knead it into a small white dough with water, which will be used for potato germination)
3.
Cover the kneaded dough tightly and let it rest for 15 minutes.
4.
Prepare 300 grams of red bean paste filling. (You can also use minced meat, personally at will)
5.
Take out the loose dough, knead it to flatten it, and divide it into equal parts.
6.
Take a dose, roll it into a round piece, and wrap it in the bean paste filling.
7.
Wrap it up with your hands and squeeze the mouth tightly.
8.
Knead and knead it into a potato shape.
9.
Poke a few small holes with chopsticks.
10.
Knead the white dough reserved in advance into thin strips.
11.
Use chopsticks to poke the thin strips into the small holes in the buns like potatoes sprout.
12.
Prepare a spoonful of cocoa powder.
13.
Then, each raw potato bun is evenly smeared with a thin layer of cocoa powder to make the potatoes look like a layer of soil more realistically.
14.
All styling is complete.
15.
Put it in a steamer, cover tightly, and ferment naturally to double its original size.
16.
Put water in the pot and bring to a boil, put in the fermented potatoes and raw buns.
17.
Cover the pot tightly and steam over high heat for 20 minutes to turn off the heat. (Turn off the heat and simmer for 3 minutes before opening the lid)
18.
The finished product is out of the pot~ Come and eat potatoes.
19.
Let's cut the finished product again ~ soft and sweet.
Tips:
1: The pumpkin is kneaded with yeast when there is residual temperature to form a dough, which can have a better fermentation effect of the yeast.
2: Use pumpkin instead of water to knead the dough, no need to add water.
