BUSY NOW? WHY NOT PIN THESE PUMPKIN BREAD BUNS FOR LATER?

Tips for Making Homemade Bread Buns Filled With Pumpkin

I really like using real pumpkin for this recipe but if you’re in a pinch, canned pumpkin will work. Just make sure that you’re using canned pumpkin and not canned squash. Many of them aren’t even actually pumpkin! 

Ingredients Needed to Make Pumpkin Bread

• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 2/3 cup warm milk
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tsp dry yeast
• cinnamon and vanilla extract optional
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1-2 cups hazelnuts for filling
• honey or sugar for filling to taste
• 1/2 cup chocolate for filling
• vegetable oil

How to Make Stuffed Pumpkin Bread

Wash and cut the pumpkin.

Cover the baking dish with foil, and put the sliced pumpkin into it. Cover the top with another sheet of foil. Bake at 230°C for about 30-40 minutes, until the pumpkin pieces are soft and can be easily crushed with a fork. The baking time will vary depending on the type and maturity of the pumpkin. (Instead of baking, you can cook pumpkin for a couple, but baked pumpkin will be more delicious. You can also use canned pumpkin puree)

The baked pumpkin is thoroughly crushed in a blender or crushed to a puree.

Pour warm milk into a large bowl, add the cooked pumpkin puree, soft butter, and egg white. The yolk will be needed a little later. Mix the dough well.

After that, add sugar and salt to the bowl. Stir until the sugar dissolves and pour in the dry yeast.

Sift the flour and add to the dough. Knead the dough.

The dough should be soft and elastic. Cover it with a damp towel and leave for 10-15 minutes.

Transfer the dough into the bowl, cover with a damp towel and let it stand in a warm place for about an hour or until the dough doubles in size.

Prepare the filling for the buns. Use any nuts to your liking. Dry the peeled nuts in a frying pan, cool. Then use a blender to grind the nuts, a little honey (maple syrup), and chocolate into a homogeneous mass.

When the dough has come up, pull it out of the bowl, knead it well again and divide it into 10-15 equal parts. Form round buns.

Form buns. Transfer the buns to a baking sheet with parchment and leave for 10 minutes under the film.

Now tie the bun with a culinary thread, dividing it into 8 sections. Do not tighten the screed too much, because when baking, the bun will increase in volume. Mix the yolk and a few spoonfuls of water and grease the buns. Sprinkle the buns lightly with sugar.

Bake at 180 °C for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Then remove the threads from the buns.
