Exclusive Black Whole Wheat Pink Jujube Pumpkin Steamed Bun

Prepare the necessary ingredients: as shown in the picture, pumpkin, red dates, whole black wheat flour, low-gluten flour, all-purpose flour, and yeast powder.

Put the pumpkin into a steamer and steam until cooked, then mash it while hot and set aside.

Put the pumpkin puree (only operate when the temperature drops below 40 degrees), black whole wheat flour, low-gluten flour, and all-purpose flour in a ratio of 5:1:1, then add an appropriate amount of yeast and enough water. Put all these ingredients into the bowl of a stand mixer and start kneading.

The dough has been kneaded to the look you want; this is the dough after kneading for five minutes, and I think it's ready.

Let it naturally ferment indoors (the temperature today is 28 degrees).

This is after fermenting for an hour, and it has risen well.

Then put the dough and crushed red dates into the kneading bucket, and start kneading for about five minutes.

After kneading, take it out and tidy it up a bit more.

Roll into a long strip.

Then cut into pieces, or, according to personal preference, it can also be rolled into round buns.

Place them separately into a steamer to rise again for about 15 minutes, then steam with cold water brought to a boil over high heat for 15 minutes and let rest for 5 minutes.

The steamed buns turned out well, and they smell really good.
