Golden Pumpkin Mantou

 Ingredients

  • 100 grams of pumpkin flesh diced
  • 1/2 tsp instant yeast
  • 2 tsps water
  • 165 grams all-purpose flour
  • 25 grams sugar
  • 2 1/2 tsps vegetable oil

 Directions

  1. Steam pumpkin over medium heat for 10 minutes. Blend until smooth, set aside to cool.
  2. Add 2 tsps of water to instant yeast, mix well.
  3. Mix together plain flour and fine sugar. Add in cooled pumpkin paste and yeast, mix well.Add in vegetable oil, mix into dough. Knead the dough for about 7 minutes, until smooth. Cover and set aside to rest for 7-8 minutes. (Reminder: The dough should be soft but not sticky. If your dough is drier, add in a bit more water. If it is sticky, lightly coat hand with flour then continue.\
  4. Roll out the rested dough into thin rectangular shape dough, then roll up into a rod shape. Cut into 8 portions using serrated knife, put each on a piece of paper.
  5. Bring 500 ml of water to a boil in a steamer. Then, off the heat, add in 1 litre of lukewarm water.
  6. Arrange mantou dough in steamer rack (leave some space between each). Put the racks over the warm water, cover and proof for 20 minutes. (Reminder: Do not over-proof, over-proofed mantou will have wrinkle surface when steamed. It is suggested to use bamboo steamer for steaming as it will prevent condensation water from dripping onto mantou.)
  7. After proofing for 20 minutes, turn the cooker to high heat until water is boiling (about 3 minutes), then reduce to medium heat and steam for another 15 minutes
