🎃 Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 70g Butter (softened)

• 50g Ship Brand 純正紅糖 Rosé Brown Sugar

• 120g Cake flour

• 15g Milk powder

• 30g Beaten egg

• 4g Pumpkin powder

For the Bread Dough:

• 200g Bread flour

• 50g Cake flour

• 3g Yeast

👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Crust
Beat butter and Rosé Brown Sugar until creamy and fluffy. Add cake flour, milk powder, and egg, then mix in pumpkin powder for color. Chill the dough for 30 minutes to firm up.

2️⃣ Make the Bread Dough
Combine bread flour, cake flour, and Raw Cane Sugar with egg and milk. Add yeast and salt, knead until smooth, then mix in butter. Let the dough rise until doubled in size.

3️⃣ Shape the Buns
Divide both doughs into equal portions (about 40g crust and 60g bread dough). Flatten the crust, wrap it over the bread dough, and gently shape into pumpkin forms.

4️⃣ Add Texture
Dust with a little flour or sugar, score shallow lines to create pumpkin grooves, and insert a biscuit stick as the stem.

5️⃣ Bake & Decorate
Let the buns proof again for 30 minutes. Bake at 180°C (356°F) for 15–20 minutes until golden brown. Once cooled, use melted chocolate to draw fun Halloween faces!

✨ Tips for the Perfect Pumpkin Buns

• Chill the crust dough — it helps create a crispy texture after baking.

• Don’t overproof; it keeps the bun shape more defined.

• Use high-quality Ship Brand sugars for authentic, natural sweetness.

• For extra Halloween flair, brush with a touch of melted butter and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

These Halloween Pumpkin Pineapple Buns are the ultimate mix of creativity and flavor — crunchy, buttery, and adorably spooky.
Perfect for parties, family baking time, or simply enjoying with a cup of tea.
