Pumpkin-shaped buns for Halloween: an interesting shape

These buns will be a spectacular addition to a cozy all tea party. That's because they look like a seasonal fall vegetable - pumpkin. To make this unusual shape, you need a thread.

The idea of making pumpkin-shaped buns was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Nadia Oranska (nadia.oranska).

Ingredients for the dough:

• warm milk - 130 ml
• yeast - 6 g
• sugar - 20 g
• flour - 400 g

• butter - 50 g
• sugar - 80 g
• pumpkin puree - 150 g

Method of preparation:

1. First, make the starter. Pour warm milk into a bowl, add yeast and sugar, and mix. Cover and leave for 10-15 minutes until a cap is formed.

2. Then pour the starter into a larger bowl, add the melted and cooled butter, pumpkin puree, and sugar, and mix everything.

3. Sift the flour and knead a soft, elastic dough.

4. Leave for 1 hour. The dough will double in size.

5. Next, divide the dough into 8 pieces and form balls.

6. Use the thread to make pumpkin shape.

7. Grease with egg.

8. Bake at 180 degrees for 20 minutes. Cut off the threads.
