2 tsp salt
3 1/2 to 4 cups all purpose flower

pepper stems (optional, for stem)
Butcher’s twine or oiled string
Instructions
Combine milk and water, warming it up in a pan
Add yeast and sugar to the mixture. Cover and let it rise for 10-15 minutes or until the yeast becomes puffy.
Introduce the oil and yogurt into the mix. Then, gradually add in the flour and milk powder. Sprinkle in 2 tsp of salt.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-6 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic
Brush the dough with oil, and then set it aside to let it rise until it doubles in size (30-60 minutes).
Divide the dough in 16 pieces. Roll each into a small circle.
Add a spoon of pizza sauce, some pepperoni slices, and mozzarella cheese. Seal into stuffed balls.
Take oiled string and wrap it around the ball, forming a pumpkin shape with 8 sections. Tie a knot at the bottom.
Put the pumpkins in a greased tray and let rise for 20 minutes. Brush them with an egg wash.
Bake at 180C (350F) for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully cut the strings off to avoid tearing the buns.
