  • Prep: 16 mins

Ingredients

4 tbsp Pumpkin puree

2 1/2 cups Flour

1 1/8 tsp Instant dry yeast

1 tbsp Sugar

3/4 tsp Salt

1 tbsp Oil

1 tbsp Basil seeds

Water 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp

Directions

1I have posted detailed recipe for roasted pumpkin puree in my blog ..

For the dough..

1In a bowl mix together ,flour ,yeast ,sugar ,salt , and pumpkin purée.

2Mix well and add water .

3Knead it well for 5-6 minutes and add oil.

4Knead well for 3-4 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

5Shape it into a ball and apply oil .Place it in a well oiled bowl and cover it with cling film .Wait for the first rise .

6Once the dough is doubled , gently punch down the dough and knead very gently for a minute or two .

7Divide the dough into nine equal parts .

8Each portion weigh around 47 - 50 gms.

9Shape them into small balls and sprinkle the basil seeds. Wait for the second rise .

11I used a 9 " square tin .

12Let it rise . Meanwhile pre heat the oven at 180 degree C with both top and bottom rods on .

13Cover the loaf tin with aluminum foil and bake for 12 -13 mins .

14Now take the tin out and remove the aluminum foil and egg wash / milk wash / apply butter .

15Place the tin back in the oven without the aluminum foil and bake for 3-4 minutes until the top is evenly brown .

16Remove the buns from the tin and apply butter .

17If you want it sweeter ,add 1/4 cup of chocolate chips after the first rise .

18If savoury buns are preferred , 1 tsp ginger paste and 1 tsp green chilli paste can be added .

19If you like it plain ,hazelnut chocolate spread goes well with these golden buns .
