How to make pumpkin bread

Pumpkin bread is very healthy and affordable. If you make it yourself, the ingredients don’t need to be too complicated, and you can cook a dish with a strong homely flavor. Children also like to eat this dish. You can add peas, carrots, potatoes, bacon and other ingredients according to different methods and match them with your favorite ingredients.

1. Mix all the ingredients for the starter and knead them into dough. Place it in a warm place and ferment until it is 3 to 4 times larger and becomes a honeycomb shape.

2. During the fermentation process of the starter, we use this time to steam the pumpkin puree. Wash the pumpkin, cut it into pieces, and steam it until cooked.

3. Use a spoon to scrape out the pumpkin puree and sieve it, or use a food processor to puree it. It will be finer after sifting.

4. Mix the fermented starter and main dough materials, except butter, and knead them all until they reach the expansion stage. Add butter and knead until thoroughly kneaded and a thin film is formed. Place in a warm and humid place and let rise until it is twice as large, about 30 to 40 minutes. (I forgot to take a picture and used an old picture. The pumpkin dough was golden yellow.)

5. Deflate the dough and divide it into 6 portions. Cover with plastic wrap and let it relax for 10 minutes.

6. Roll it into a tongue shape, and let it rest for 5 minutes.

7. Roll the dough into long strips, pinch the two ends with your hands and rub them in different directions, pinch the two ends together and let them roll together naturally.

8. Roll the dough in the above picture in different directions again, wrap it again and insert the joint into the round hole.

9. This is the finished effect.

10. Cover with plastic wrap and let it ferment until it is twice as large. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees.

11. Place it in the lower middle layer and bake at 170 degrees for about 28 minutes. You can take it out after it is evenly colored.

12. After taking it out of the oven, you can brush it with completely softened butter or honey water.

13. The finished product picture is super beautiful.

14. Here’s another one.

15. There is another ╮(╯▽╰)╭.

The reason why many people are reluctant to cook is that they think cooking involves too many steps and is too troublesome. The method of making pumpkin bread is simple and can dispel their concerns.
