• Make an indent at the centre, add honey, pumpkin puree and add the water little by little to make a dough.
• Knead the dough with hands or with an electric mixer fitted with a dough tool.
• Place the dough in a clean and oiled bowl and cover it with a cling film.
• Leave it in a warm place to rise for 1 to 2 hours.
• Once the dough has raised, punch the air back and divide the dough into half.
• Divide 1 half of the dough into 6 equal balls.
• Roll the 1 large half of the dough into a 50 cm sausage and make it like a spiral shape and place it in a baking sheet. Roll the remaining dough into a small sausage and place it around the spiral, curl it at the ends.
