Tips for Success
• Ensure your yeast is fresh by checking the expiration date; activate it properly in warm orange juice with a bit of sugar before mixing it with the dry ingredients to ensure the dough rises well.
• When adding the pumpkin puree, make sure it is well-drained if it appears watery, as excess moisture can make the dough too sticky and difficult to handle. You can press it through a fine sieve or cheesecloth to remove excess liquid.
• Avoid over-kneading the dough, as this can lead to tough filhoses. Knead just until the dough is smooth and elastic, and then let it rise in a warm, draft-free area until it doubles in size, which should take about 1-2 hours.
