Jack O’ Lantern Buns

Hi Friends!

I am sick but I cannot really be sick. Ugh.

That is the downside of being a parent, I guess? Since you have littles to take care, you cannot really be sick because those laundry, dishes, dinner on table are not magically done by themselves. There really isn’t a fairy in real life, is there? lol Wait…there is….they area called a house keeper, but unfortunately I cannot afford one 😛

Today I have another Halloweenie posting, holy moly, time flies. It will be here soon! I thought I would be posting DAILY on Halloween topic but seriously, damn real life often takes away my precious Steemit life….like you know, being sick and whatnot -.-

Anyways, today I have pumpkin buns, yum! I decorated them as Jack O’ Lantern. Am sending them to a contest on Steemit and also instructable 😀

My pumpkin buns have two different fillings, some with speculoos or cookie butter, and some with chocolate chips

These pumpkin buns would make great dinner rolls as well when they are not filled with sweets 🙂

Here is the recipe if you’d like to try 😀

– 3/4 c lukewarm nut milk
– 1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
– 3/4 cup packed pumpkin purée
– 1/4 cup vegetable oil
– 1/2 tsp each cinnamon powder and all spice powder
– 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
– A pinch of Himalayan salt
– 3 1/4 cups flour
– pecans
– df chocolate chips
– Speculoos (cookie butter, watch the ingredients, some brand use dairy)

– Stir sugar into milk, sprinkle with yeast, stir, let stand until bubbly, 5 mins
– Heat pumpkin 30 seconds in microwave
– Mix dry ingredients in a bowl, make a well in center, pour in yeast, pumpkin, oil and vanilla, knead
– Cover and rets for 1 H

– Punch down dough and divide into 10-12 balls

– Flatten each and fill either with speculoos or chocolate chips, seam to seal

– Tie twine on the buns, shaping buns into pumpkin
– Let rest buns for 15 mins then bake on preheated convection oven 350 F for 18 mins
– Push in pecan and serve warm or at room temperature

For chocolate filling, I decorated the buns with melted chocolate chips, while for speculoos ones, I used edible pen 🙂

Roti Labu Kuning (Untuk Halloween)

Hai Teman!

Pa kabarnya hari ini? Aku sukses demam dan meriang sehari semalam. Susah deh kalau dah satu aja sakit dirumah, pasti merembet kesemua anggota keluarga wkwkwk Padahal kalau ibu yang sakit, ribet banget kan, siapa yang ngurusin rumah, dapur, dan anak-anak kecilku ini. Kalau kepala keluarga yang sakit, wadao, deg-deg-an kalau kelamaan sakit bisa good-by my love sama bos di kantor. Pokoknya siapapun sakit, apalagi anak-anak, susah hati, susah pikiran, iya kan?
