Falling in Love with Pumpkin: Detailed Steps for Making Pumpkin Butterfly Rolls

Ingredients Image

Peel and steam the pumpkin chunks;

Mash the steamed pumpkin into a puree;

Take a stainless steel plate, sift in the flour, then add the pumpkin puree, followed by adding yeast (no need to add water as the pumpkin has enough moisture, yeast can be added when the pumpkin puree is at room temperature) and a little salad oil;

Stir with chopsticks until fluffy;

Knead the dough until smooth and shiny, then cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it ferment in a warm place;

The pumpkin dough has fermented to 1.5 times its original size;

Knead out the air bubbles from the fermented dough;

Prepare the dough for rolling;

Roll the dough into a long strip;

Roll it up from both ends to the middle;

Fold as shown in the picture;

Pinch the middle with chopsticks to form the butterfly wings, then cut through the middle with a knife or scissors to create the butterfly’s antennae.

Place the prepared butterfly rolls on banana leaves, arrange them in a steamer, and let them sit for 10 minutes.

Steam over high heat for 12 minutes after the water boils, then uncover after 2 minutes. Using a multi-layer steamer is convenient for steaming multiple rolls at once.
