Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Put all the bread ingredients except butter and pumpkin puree into a bowl and knead into dough. (Peel the pumpkin, cut it into small pieces and steam it in a steamer, then put it into a food processor to make pumpkin puree and let it cool.)

   

2. 2 Pull out the thicker film and add butter.

   

3. 3 Spread out a thin film.

   

4. 4 Knead the dough and cover with plastic wrap. Let it ferment at room temperature for about two hours until it doubles in size.

   

5. 5 Next, mix all the ingredients for Okpi, knead it into a dough, cover it with plastic wrap and leave it to ferment at room temperature for about two hours.

   

6. 6 Stick flour with your fingers and poke a hole. If it doesn't shrink or collapse, the fermentation is complete.

   

7. 7 First divide the pumpkin dough into a 2g and a 6g small dough. From the remaining dough, you can knead a few small pieces of dough to make chickens and roll them into round balls. Okopi first portions out about 40g, and the remaining portions are divided into 7 portions on average.

   

8. 8 Take a piece of Okepi dough, roll it into a disc shape, and use a large piping nozzle to press out a round shape.

   

9. 9 Wrap pumpkin dough. Prepare and place in baking pan.

   

10. 10 Add a little bit of red yeast powder to 2g of pumpkin dough and knead evenly.

    

11. 11 Divide the remaining 60g of okpi into 12 portions, shape into triangles, and place on both sides. These are hen's wings. Roll 2g of red pumpkin dough into a round shape and use a scraper to cut a mark in the middle to make the mouth of the little yellow chicken. Brush some water and glue it together. Divide 6g pumpkin dough into 6 parts, roll it into a round shape and use a scraper to cut a mark in the middle to make a white mouth. Brush with some water and stick it together.

    

12. 12 After shaping the dough, leave it on the baking sheet until it doubles in size. (No need to put it in the oven for the second time)

    

13. 13 Place in the oven preheated to 150 degrees and bake for 20 minutes, paying attention to the tin foil on the top.

    

14. 14 After taking it out of the oven and letting it cool, draw expressions on the chicken. Fill a piping bag with melted black and pink chocolate, cut a small opening and draw an expression. Done!

    

15. 15 Finished product picture. The cockscomb is cut from pink paper and can also be decorated with heart-shaped sugar.
