Pumpkin Roll, Pumpkin Soup, Black Sesame Pudding
|
 Let's bake breads and puddings, and celebrate the start of the new year together.
In this lesson, we will learn how to make pumpkin bread, soup and black sesame pudding. You can bake breads very easily with basic ingredients from your pantry. Pumpkin is a vegetable suitable for cake baking, as well as a moist and soft bread. Cream cheese with a hint of lemon adds a delicious twist!
Pumpkin is a richly nutritious vegetable, containing carotene, vitamin
C, and protein. Since we bake the breads with a mold made from a milk carton,
you can easily prepare this treat at home.

200g hard flour、1 tsp dry yeast, 3 Tbsp sugar, 1/2 tsp sugar
30g butter (room temperature), 100cc milk(warm) , 80g pumpkin paste,
150g cream cheese, 1/2 tsp lemon juice, 20g sugar, pumpkin seeds
2 milk cartons to make the baking mold
|
| Preparation: |
|

- Put the dough in a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Let it rise for
30 to 40 minutes.
- Use a finger to test the dough (See figs,1-3) and punch it down.(see fig.4)
When the dough has doubled in size, lightly press your index finger into
the dough.
If it springs up slightly(Fig.1), it can rise still more.
If nothing happens(Fig.2), it is time to punch the dough the dough down(Fig.4).
If the dough falls slightly around your indentation(Fig.3), it has risen
too long.
- Roll the dough out and divide into equal 8 parts. Roll out into circles.
Allow dough to rest for about 10 minutes.
- Roll out the dough in 10cm cilcle on the palm of your hand.
Place a dollop of cream cheese on the middle of the dough circle.
Fold over and seal the edges by pressing together firmly.
- Place 4 dough pockets seam-side down on each of the milk cartons.
Put a pumpkin seed on the top each.
- Place the milk cartons on the baking sheet.
Cover them with a wet paper towel and let rise for 20 minutes.

☆Note☆
If you use an electronic oven, preheat to 190℃ and bake the dough
for about 13 to 14 minutes.

400g pumpkin, 200cc milk, salt, croutons
