200g flour
30g milk powder

Directions/做法

– mix all ingredients together and knead till you get a soft dough. divide into 2 equal portions. add in cocoa powder and 3bsp pumpkin puree into one portion and knead till well incorporated. rise both dough till double in size
食材混合均匀，和面。面团分割成2等分后，在一份中加入可可粉和3大匙南瓜泥。搓匀。两份面团发酵至双倍大

punch dough down, and allow to rest for 30 mins
排气、静止30分钟

prepare and grease moulds as above to be used as the core for the bun. mine’s 3cm in diameter
if you don’t have these moulds, you can use aluminium foil to coil them
模具涂抹油。我的模具直径为3厘米. 如无模具，可用锡纸卷成核心

roll both dough into L35 x W13.5cm sheets
面团擀成长35 x 宽13.5 厘米面皮

divide each dough into 5 equal strips
各面皮分割成五等份长条

 spray a thin coat of water onto the dough then start rolling the dough around the mould
面皮喷上少许水，将其卷到模具上

seal seams well
封口捏紧

follow up with another layer, and continue this process till you get a 5- 6 layer dough
以交替方式继续将面皮卷在模具上直到各馒头达到 5-6层年轮效果

flatten the dough slightly and allow to rise for another 30mins
bring a pot of water to boil, then steam buns on medium heat for 10 mins
turn off fire and allow mantou to sit in steamer for 3-5 mins before opening lid
* REMEMBER TO COVER LID WITH CLOTH
面团轻轻压扁后发酵30分钟
将一锅水烧热后，转中火将馒头蒸10分钟
熄火后，不可马上开盖。待3-5分钟后，再开盖哈
＊ 小唠叨！蒸馒头时，盖子一定要包上布哈

this mantou is very soft… pumpkin pumpkin i love you
加入南瓜泥的馒头的确不同凡响
