Steam Pumpkin Bun

This is my first time trying out making bun, The shape might not be nice but the filling taste really good. I have to keep on practicing in order to make a perfect bun. And guess what, my sis dog enjoyed eating this and kept asking for more. Before the steaming is done, she kept coming to the kitchen to peep at what I am making. Such an adorable dog.

For the filling
300g Pumpkin puree
30g sugar
1 tsp Cornstarch

Cook until thickens and use 2 tsp to form into litlle balls and place on a line tray.
Chill until time of use.

For the Bun
60g Sugar
90g Pumpkin Puree
1 tsp instant yeast
150g Pau Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
10g Butter

1. Combine sugar, pumpkin puree and yeast.
2. Combine pau flour, baking powder & butter. Mix to form crumbs.
3. Pour (1) into (2) and mix to form a dough.
4. Knead dough until it is smooth and no longer sticky.
5. Let dough proof in a warm place until double in size. Remember to cover it.

Assembly
1. Punch down dough after it had doubled.
    Knead it for 2 minutes and divid dough into 12 pieces.
2. Remove pumpkin filling from fridge.

4. Place one pieced of filling, round side down onto flattened dough.
