1. Finished product picture. Cute bear pumpkin buns!

2. Peel and seed the pumpkin, wash it clean, and steam it in a pot with cold water.

3. After cooling to hand temperature, add some flour, yeast and sugar. (The pumpkin has its own moisture, so no need to add water here.)

4. Use a spoon to mash it into paste while it’s still hot.

5. Take another bowl and add the remaining flour, yeast and sugar.

6. Use chopsticks to knead the dough into flocs, then use your hands to knead it into a smooth dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it ferment.

7. Pour warm water and stir with chopsticks until it becomes floc-like, then knead it into a smooth dough with your hands. Cover with a damp cloth and let it ferment.

8. Take a small portion of the kneaded white dough above, add a little cocoa powder, knead it into cocoa dough, and let it ferment. In the same way, take a small piece of white dough, mix it with red yeast rice powder, knead it into red dough, and let it ferment.

9. When you put your finger into the well-fermented dough, it will not shrink.

10. Knead for a few minutes to release the air and the dough is ready.

11. Make each color of dough into several small balls. Roll the big yellow ball into a ball, a small white ball that is a bit bigger, two other white balls that are smaller than the two yellow balls, two small cocoa balls, and a small red circle.

12. Use the largest yellow ball to make the face, and flatten the slightly larger white ball with your hands and place it under the yellow ball to make it firm. When pasting, you can use chopsticks dipped in clean water to help adhesion.

13. Stick two small cocoa balls on as eyes and a red ball on the white edge as a nose. When pasting, you can use chopsticks dipped in clean water to help adhesion.

14. Place the remaining two white balls on the two yellow balls and flatten them.

15. Arrange and stick them on both sides as ears, and the bear is ready. (The nose can be rubbed smaller to make it look better, and the white part of the face should be as thin as possible, so that it will look better when steamed!)

16. Complete all in sequence.

17. Apply some oil on the steamer to prevent sticking, and place the prepared steamed bun dough at intervals.

18. Put the dish in cold water and steam it over high heat for 15 minutes, then turn off the heat and simmer for 3 minutes before removing the lid and taking out.

19. Let it cool down a little and then eat it.

20. There is also a nose that has been steamed and transformed into the shape of a koala.
