The steamed pumpkin will be very soft, press it into a puree with a spoon, weigh 80g for later use.

At this time you can add the softened butter. Continue to rub, it will be sticky again, don't worry, continue!
8.
Knead to the expanded state of the dough, that is, a small piece of dough can be pulled out, and the thin glove film can be easily pulled out without breaking.
9.
Knead it into a smooth dough and place it in a basin, ready for fermentation.
10.
Put it in the oven to choose fermentation. The time is set at 50 minutes. To ensure humidity, put a bowl of hot water in the oven.
11.
When the dough has doubled its size, it's fine.
12.
The fermented dough is vented by rolling or kneading.
13.
The dough that has been exhausted is arranged into strips, covered with plastic wrap, and allowed to relax for 10-15 minutes.
14.

21.
After the baked bread, choose one end and dot the two small eyes with chocolate, is it piercing?
22.
Well, the simple and convenient caterpillar bread is ready.
Tips:
1. Different flours have different water absorption, so the water volume should be added gradually. The humidity of pumpkin puree will also affect the amount of moisture, so the specific amount of water should be adjusted appropriately.
2. Salt will affect the fermentation of yeast, so it should not be in direct contact with yeast.
3. The kneading method of bread is similar to pushing forward by rubbing clothes, combined with the method of beating, so that the film is easier to come out.
4. The baking time and temperature are determined according to the temper of your own oven.
