Time 2h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup warm water (100 degrees F/40 degrees C)
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
3 cups bread flour
¼ cup coconut oil, melted
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Combine water and yeast and let sit until foamy, about 10 minutes.
  • Combine flour, coconut oil, sugar, salt, and yeast mixture in a bowl. Knead until silky-smooth, about 15 minutes. Place dough in a large, lightly-oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a loaf pan.
  • Punch down dough and turn onto a lightly floured surface. Shape into a loaf and place into the prepared pan. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
  • Uncover and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes for an Italian-style loaf or 45 minutes for a sandwich-style bread.

Time 1h10m

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 eggs
2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups canned pumpkin puree
3 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1/2 cup chopped raisins (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Beat oil, sugar, and eggs in large bowl until light and fluffy.
  • Add vanilla and pumpkin, mix until well blended.
  • Sift flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add to pumpkin mixture and beat on low speed until blended.
  • Stir in nuts and raisins if desired.
  • Pour batter into 2 9x5 inch loaf pans that have been sprayed with cooking spray.
  • Bake for 60 minutes at 350F or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Remove bread from pans and let cool on rack.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or canned pumpkin: Fresh pumpkin purée provides the best flavor, but canned pumpkin is a convenient option. If using canned pumpkin, choose one that is unsweetened and 100% pumpkin.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Bake the bread at a high altitude: The high altitude will cause the bread to rise more quickly, so it's important to bake it at a lower temperature for a shorter amount of time.
  • Use a bundt pan: A bundt pan will help the bread to bake evenly and give it a beautiful shape.
  • Let the bread cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the bread to set.

Conclusion:

High altitude pumpkin bread is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for fall. With a few simple tips, you can easily make a delicious loaf of pumpkin bread that is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try!
