Pumpkin buns of Murta

One of these traditional recipes are the pumpkin buns, which I decided to cook and share with you for my very personal celebration of the pumpkin. Murta pumpkin buns traditionally are sweet and the original recipe provides that granulated sugar is spread on the surface before baking. However, as these breads are not that sweet, I do not cover them with sugar and serve them during meals as well. They are in fact very good companions for chees and hams… or just for glutton diners! Their pumpkin shape is not part of the tradition – it’s just a poetic license..
