Screaming Chicken Buns

Method

1. 01

   Step 1

   First, wash the pumpkin, steam it until cooked, remove the pulp, and mash it into a puree.

   

2. 02

   Step 2

   Dissolve the yeast in water in a bowl, then add a large spoonful of sugar and stir well. Divide the mixture into two bowls. The amount of water in each bowl depends on your needs; only a little water is needed for the white dough. I added a little more because I needed more water for other things later. In one bowl, add flour and knead to form a white dough, and in the other bowl, add pumpkin puree and knead to form a yellow dough.

   Ferment at room temperature until it doubles in size.

   Step 4

   Take a small piece of white dough and add red food coloring.

   Step 5

   As shown in the picture, all three types of dough are prepared.

   Step 6

   Take about 100 grams of the yellow dough and roll it from the middle to make it thinner. As shown in the picture, leave a little more at the bottom.

   Step 7

   Then use a scraper to cut along both sides, and trim it slightly to make it into chicken wings.

   

8. 08

   Step 8

   Take two more dough balls and roll them into teardrop shapes to make chicken legs. You can brush a little water on them as you move them towards the belly to increase stickiness.

   Step 9

   Take a small amount of red dough and make two chicken feet and a collar in the middle of their necks. It's very simple.

    Step 10

    Use a little white for the whites of the eyes, a little red for the comb, and poke a small ball with the tip of a chopstick to make the beak.

    Step 11

    Add black sesame seeds and it's done. I also made a little chick with the leftover dough, but it doesn't quite look like one, haha. The eggshell is too over-the-top...

    Step 12

    Place in a steamer and let it rise for 20 minutes. Then, put it in a steamer with cold water, bring to a boil over high heat, and steam for 7 minutes after the water boils.
