These sweet Turkish buns are filled with boiled, mashed pumpkin mixed with cinnamon and walnuts, making them a cozy breakfast treat for fall. Their soft dough and gently sweet filling pair well with tea.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Make the filling

10 min

Mix the mashed pumpkin with the sugar, cinnamon, and chopped walnuts.

2

Knead the dough

20 min

Add the fresh yeast and sugar to the lukewarm milk and wait until foamy. Add the flour, melted butter, and salt, then knead into a soft dough.

3

Proof the dough

45 min

Cover the dough and let it proof in a warm place until doubled in size.

4

Fill and shape the buns

15 min

Pinch off pieces of dough and roll them into rounds. Place some filling in the center of each, seal the dough around it, and shape into buns.

5

Bake the buns

30 min

Brush the tops with egg yolk. Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C / 355°F until golden.

Reminder

Important: Drain the pumpkin thoroughly after boiling; otherwise, the filling can become watery and make the dough soggy. Allergens: Contains wheat (gluten), milk/dairy, eggs, and walnuts (tree nuts).
