Fragrant, sweet, soft, and delicious pumpkin red bean bun

Prepare the ingredients.

Add all the ingredients to the dough machine except for the butter.

After kneading the dough for 10 minutes, add the softened butter and continue kneading the dough until it reaches the windowpane stage, then take it out and knead it on the countertop until smooth. Remove the kneading hook from the dough machine, place the dough into the dough bucket, cover it with the lid, and press the dough-rising button, selecting "Time" for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

During the resting time of the dough, divide the red bean paste into 35-gram portions, roll them into balls, prepare some cotton thread, and line a baking tray with parchment paper for later use.

Take the fermented dough and divide it into 9 portions, knead them into small dough balls, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest for 15 minutes.

Roll out the dough to release the air, shape it into a round, fill it with red bean paste, arrange the cotton thread into the shape of a rice grain, and place the dough on top. Lift the cotton thread, tie a knot, and put it into a baking tray.

Place the baking tray into the steam oven, select the 'fermentation' function, set the temperature to 35°C and the time to 25 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 160℃ for the upper heating element and 170℃ for the lower heating element for 25 minutes. After preheating is complete, place the baking tray inside.

After letting it cool, remove the cotton thread and use raisins to decorate as the pumpkin stem. Sweet and delicious, visually appealing.
