For the buns:
- 125 ml whole milk warmed
- 125 g pure pumpkin puree
- 15 g granulated sugar
- 8 g active dry yeast
- 500 g all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- pinch of sea salt
- 60 ml avocado oil
For the filling:
- 1 C mozzarella cheese shredded
- 5 lices cooked bacon cut or torn into smaller pieces
- ½ C corn niblets fresh or frozen

Instructions
- In a bowl, add the warmed milk, pumpkin puree, granulated sugar and yeast. Give it a stir and let the yeast activate.
- To a stand mixer bowl fitted with a dough hook attachment, add the flour, egg, salt, and oil.
- Add the activated yeast mixture and knead until the dough becomes smooth and shiny, about 5-8 minutes.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl and cover with a tea towel.
- Let the dough rise in a warm location until doubled in size, about 1-1.5 hours, depending on how warm it is.
- Once the dough has proofed, divide into 10 equal portions.
- Preheat oven to 375°F/191°C.
- Roll each portion into a long log or rope.
- Tie the dough into a loose knot, and bring the tail ends over and under (respectively) the dough, sealing the seams together in the centre.
- Place the dough onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Press down and flatten the centre of the dough with a spoon (or your fingers).
- Add cheese, pieces of bacon and about 1 tablespoon of corn onto the centre of the dough and gently flatten.
- Repeat with the remainder.
- Cover and let it rise in a warm location, until slightly puffy.
- Bake the buns at 375°F/191°C for 17-18 minutes, until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- Garnish with green onions/scallions if you like.
