Turtle Steamed Bread 紫烏龜

My dad sent me some pumpkins and I also bought some purple sweet potatoes .

I felt I had to make something, so I made a lot of steamed Chinese bread (about 2 kgs). And the kids made some purple turtles. They loved to eat steamed Chinese bread, even if they feel so full. They still tried to put more into their tiny belles.

手邊剛好有老爸寄來的南瓜加上前幾日買的紫地瓜，剛好可以來做雙色饅頭。

曾看過網路上有些人做烏龜饅頭，一時手癢的我，竟然糅了兩公斤大麵團來做饅頭。

做完的心得是，一次不要揉太多，麵團發酵過久，成了超級大的饅頭。

（手勁也不夠，麵團就糅的不圓滑了）

很認真的幫烏龜做腳

發酵過久的饅頭

I let the steamed Chinese bread sit too long

It rose too much.

黃色南瓜比較柔軟，紫色地瓜比較乾，沒有那麼軟

yellow pumpkins were more soft 

but the purple sweet potatoes were more dry and not soft

大口吃起饅頭

 手裡護著饅頭，不想讓弟弟妹妹搶走

she was afraid  Darius would take her food away

開心吃著

They just could not stop eating 

Benicia 其實已經吃了一個半的大大饅頭，

現在是硬撐著，反正就要吃就是了！

she already ate one and half buns, 

but she still wanted to eat even if she was very full.

六龜？這不是我老家！

六龜好山好水有好吃的蓮霧！

six turtles. It was my hometown's name.

Where I was born, it is a nice and beautiful place and always good weather.

好肥大的烏龜，發酵過度了！

 硬要吃兩個的結果，很撐但是還想吃 

Corban was very full, but he still wanted to put more in.

這個也是吃第二個了，已經吃不下，

開始把饅頭當玩具再玩

Darius ate two also.

Now he could not eat any more.

He decided to play with it as an air plane.
