Pumpkin bread is a dish that is both strange and interesting because of its delicious taste and high nutritional value. This banh mi dish is not only the perfect choice for breakfast but also a snack that can entertain guests who come to visit on the weekend.
To make pumpkin banh mi, housewives need to prepare the following ingredients: 100gr pumpkin; 280gr flour; 3gr salt; 4gr dry yeast; 1 egg; 40gr sugar; 80ml fresh milk and 20gr unsalted butter...
In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt and sugar, housewives should note to sift the flour very finely first to remove the flour lumps. Activate the yeast by mixing the yeast with warm water and a little sugar and wait until the yeast bubbles. However, do not add salt and yeast at the same time, because salt can reduce the effectiveness of yeast.
Combine the mashed pumpkin, activated yeast, milk, melted butter and eggs and knead the mixture to form a soft, non-sticky dough.
Place the dough in a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature for about 1 hour until doubled in size. After rising, knead the dough gently to remove air bubbles. Divide the dough into small pieces and shape into loaves before letting it rest for about 30 minutes to let it rise further.
Preheat the oven to 180 - 190°C for about 10 minutes. Place each banh mi on a baking tray lined with baking paper, brush a thin layer of butter on the surface of the cake. Bake for about 20 - 25 minutes until the cake is golden brown.
In case there is no oven, housewives can use an air fryer with a temperature of 170 - 180 degrees to bake banh mi for 20 - 22 minutes.
To make the cake more delicious and unique, you can sprinkle sesame seeds or pumpkin seeds on the surface of the cake before baking.
