Step 1
1. Like any other baked goods, the recipe for baking pumpkin buns in the oven is impossible without dough. To prepare it, heat the milk and add yeast to it. Mix thoroughly, then add sugar, eggs, oil, and salt. Gradually incorporate flour, kneading the dough. The dough should turn out soft, elastic, and not stick to hands. Place the dough in a warm spot and let it rise.

2. After the first rise, it's best to knead the dough by hand and wait for the second rise. Then you can start working with it. Grease your hands with oil, take small pieces of dough, and roll them into flatbreads.

3. While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Peel the pumpkin and cut it into small pieces. Wash, peel, and grate the carrots. Pour a little vegetable oil (or substitute butter) into a saucepan or pot. Add the carrots and pumpkin, then add 3 tablespoons of sugar. If desired, add a little water. Simmer over medium heat until cooked through.

6. Grease the baking sheet with vegetable oil or line it with parchment paper. Place the buns at a distance from each other, as pumpkin buns will increase in size when baked in the oven at home. For extra shine, brush them with beaten egg. Place in a preheated oven.
