Ingredients

  • 190 gr pao flour all purpose flour
  • 10 gr milk powder
  • 45 gr sugar
  • 1 tsp instant yeast
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 100 gr pumpkin puree
  • 60 gr milk
  • 15 gr unsalted butter /coconut oil
  • 2 gr salt

Instructions

  • Sieve pao flour into a bowl. Add sugar, instant yeast, milk powder, baking powder, pumpkin puree. Pour milk into it. Mix well with a spatula. Add oil and salt. Knead until it is no longer sticky. Cover with cling wrap or cloth. Let it ferment for one hour.
  • After one hour, punch the air out. Flatten the dough, divide it into 4 pieces evenly, round it, and cover with cling wrap. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
  • For each dough, divide it into 5-6 small pieces. Round each one of them. Flatten the small dough with rolling pin into a thin, round shape.
  • Line them up on top of each other. Roll from one end. Dab a bit of water on the dough so it can stick to each other. Cut in the middle using a knife. Put the dough on a bao paper. Shape each petal resembling a rose.
  • Let them rise up one more time for 10 minutes. Preheat the steamer. Steam for 20 minutes using medium heat. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure the pumpkin puree is really smooth, so you have a very smooth dough.
  • Roll up the flattened dough and dab some water if it doesn't stick to each other. After cutting it into two, try to shape the petals like blossoming rose.
  • If you don't have pao paper to line it, use parchment paper, cut it a little bigger than the dough size.
  • After 20 minutes of steaming, do not take off the lid right away. Turn off the heat and let the lid on for 5 more minutes.
