I have some leftover pumpkin puree from pumpkin pie. Since I am baking bread, I replace some of the liquid with the pumpkin puree. The result was great! This recipe produces another soft, fluffy texture of everyday bread.

I am wondering how you manage to consume all the breads that you make, be it mantou or buns.
ReplyDeleteYour kids prefer bread over rice, is it?
Wendy,
ReplyDeleteMy kids and hubby like breads more. They have it as everyday breakfast. Believe it or not, the amount that I bake each time only enough for their 2 days breakfast! Not including me! As me prefer cakes and other bakes. Since I'm not rice person, I will eat mantou/pau as my lunch. Hope I had clear your curiosity. :D
