Ingredients

• Ingredients: flour
• Pumpkin puree

Steps

1. Prepare the ingredients. The spinach is juiced in advance, and the pumpkin is steamed and crushed into puree.

2. Production of three colored doughs: a. Pumpkin dough: Put flour into pumpkin puree and yeast, add milk in batches, use chopsticks to stir in one direction to form dough, then knead into a ball, cover with plastic wrap and ferment until doubled in size. b. Spinach dough: Add flour to yeast, pour spinach juice in portions, knead into dough and place in plastic wrap to ferment until doubled in size. c. White dough: Similarly, take flour and add yeast, pour milk in portions, knead into dough, cover with plastic wrap and ferment until doubled in size.

3. Preparation of sunflower pastry: Knead the pumpkin dough evenly, let it deflate and let it rise for 10 minutes.

4. Divide into four parts and roll each into a round shape.

5. Use a knife to divide the outer edge of the circle into five equal parts.

6. Cut into strips of the same width and width, and pinch the edges in groups of three to form the shape of sunflower petals.

7. Take the white dough and knead it evenly, divide it into four parts, make them into round balls, flatten them gently and place them in the middle of the sunflower petals.

8. Knead the spinach dough evenly, roll it into dough, and cut it into strips.

9. Arrange them criss-cross on the white dough to form a grid, and garnish with black sesame seeds for secondary fermentation.

10. When it doubles in size, pour cold water into the steamer, bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to medium-low heat and steam for 12 minutes. Turn off the heat for two to three minutes and then open the lid.

Tips

1. Spinach is juiced in advance, and pumpkin is steamed and crushed into puree. Both milk and water can be used when making noodles. Adding milk to steam the steamed buns will be softer and taste better. The ratio of white dough, pumpkin dough and spinach dough is about 1:1:0.5. When decorating with black sesame seeds, you can use tweezers or chopsticks to add water and stick the sesame seeds.
