Soft, fluffy and delicious!
I created these Black Garlic Pumpkin Buns as a fun autumn baking project using Original Black Garlic cloves, black garlic paste and a dusting of black garlic powder for extra flavour and colour. Soft, fluffy and shaped like little pumpkins, they're packed with the sweet, rich umami notes that make black garlic such an incredible baking ingredient. Perfect for Halloween baking, autumn gatherings and seasonal entertaining, these pumpkin-shaped bread rolls look impressive but are surprisingly straightforward to make. If you're looking for creative ways to cook with black garlic, this recipe is a wonderful place to start! You can find the full recipe over on the Original Black Garlic website.
Little showstoppers that are easy to achieve…
These buns are a great example of a recipe that's much easier to make than it looks. The pumpkin shape creates plenty of visual impact, while Original Black Garlic cloves and Original Black Garlic Paste do the heavy lifting when it comes to flavour. The paste creates striking dark swirls inside the buns, adding a little Halloween drama, but it's the depth of flavour that really makes the difference. Finished with a dusting of black garlic powder on some of the buns, they're a fun seasonal bake that tastes every bit as good as they look.
