Pumpkin donuts

 

 

 

Thanks to Yen Li from my baking group in Face book for introducing this recipe to me. It is very popular and I never get tired of this recipe.

Ingredients :

140g of bread flour
10g milk powder
1/2 tsp yeast
40g pumpkin puree
20g castor sugar
15g butter
 30g egg
30g water


Methods :

Pumpkin puree
~ You can either boil or steam the pumpkin till soft and mash with a fork or spoon.


~ Mix all ingredients except butter.
~ Then add in butter to knead till smooth. As I am using a bread maker to knead the dough, my dough was kneaded for about 25 mins. Thus it will be similar to bread dough.
~ Proof for 30 mins .
~ Shape into donuts or ball shapes .
~ Final proof for 10 - 30 mins.
~ Fried till golden brown.
~  Coat with caster sugar while still warm.
 ~ Enjoy!!

Additional notes :

~ You can use 130g bread flour and 10g of wholemeal flour.
~ You can use whole egg but need to reduce on the water portion.
~  Different types of pumpkin had different wet content. If you find that your dough is still sticky, please add in more flour.
~ Final proof can be 30 mins.
~ Use small fire to fry as these donuts get brown easily.
~ Best to consume within the same day for best results.
