Pumpkin Bacon & Corn Buns
Description
The dough incorporates warm milk, pumpkin puree, sugar, yeast, flour, egg, salt, and avocado oil. After mixing and kneading until the dough is smooth and shiny, it is allowed to rise until doubled. The risen dough is divided and rolled into logs, tied into knots, then flattened in the center to hold the filling.
The filling blends shredded mozzarella, cooked bacon pieces, corn, and chopped green onions, creating a mix that is both rich and savory with fresh brightness. These buns bake to a golden color with a soft interior due to the pumpkin and fat content in the dough.
These buns make a filling snack or part of a meal, offering a combination of sweet and savory flavors with a substantial texture.

- 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.
