Tips:
1. Pumpkin contains water, so it is not necessary to add water. Depending on the situation, the yeast needs to be melted and kneaded into the dough separately.
2. The water absorption of flour is different, and the water must be added slowly. The final dough is soft but not sticky.
3. When rolling the noodles, you can properly sprinkle a little dry flour, which is easier to operate. When the noodles are superimposed, the dry powder should be brushed off with a moist brush, so that it will fit better when superimposed.
4. In order to make the noodles roll out to the same size, you can make full use of the bottom of the 6-inch cake mold.
5. It is better to press both purple sweet potato and pumpkin into puree while it is hot. It is not easy to press when it is cold, and it is easy to have small pieces, especially purple sweet potato.
