buns

📝 Ingredients:

• All-purpose flour

• Milk (warm)

• Yeast

• Sugar (optional, for light sweetness)

• Pumpkin puree (yellow)

• Spinach puree (green)

• Carrot puree (orange)

• Purple sweet potato puree (purple)

👩🍳 Instructions:

1. Prepare Dough Base
   In a bowl, mix warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until bubbly. Add flour and sugar, then knead into a soft dough.

2. Divide & Color the Dough
   Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Mix each with one of the vegetable purees:

   • Yellow: Pumpkin

   • Green: Spinach

   • Orange: Carrot

   • Purple: Purple sweet potato
     Knead each portion until the color is evenly distributed.

3. Rest the Dough
   Cover all colored dough balls and let them rest for 30–45 minutes until slightly puffed.

4. Shape Mini Buns
   Roll each dough into small bite-size balls. You can shape them plain or fill them with a small dab of red bean paste or custard if desired.

5. Second Rise
   Place on parchment paper, cover, and let rest for another 15–20 minutes.

6. Steam
   Steam over high heat for 12–15 minutes. Turn off the heat and rest 3 minutes before uncovering to avoid shrinkage.

7. Serve
   Enjoy warm. These mini buns are soft, lightly sweet, and full of natural veggie color!
