Time 3h40m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 ¼ cups bread flour, plus more for dusting
1 ¼ cups whole wheat flour
1 ¼ cups toasted pecans
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup warm water
2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast
1 cup unsweetened pumpkin puree
¼ cup maple syrup

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the bread flour, whole wheat flour, pecans, chocolate chips, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Stir well with a rubber spatula.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk together the warm water, yeast, pumpkin purée, and maple syrup.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and use a rubber spatula to stir until the dough just comes together. With your hands, knead the dough in the bowl until there are no dry, floury spots remaining. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let rest in a warm place for 60 minutes, or until almost doubled in size.
  • Using the spatula, fold the dough toward the center of the bowl 8 times, rotating the bowl each time. Cover with the towel and let rest for 30 minutes more.
  • Place a Dutch oven with a lid in the oven, and preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) for 30 minutes.
  • Lightly dust a clean surface and your hands with flour. Carefully turn the dough out of the bowl and onto the floured surface. Fold the edges of the dough towards the center 8 times, then flip the dough over and transfer to a piece of parchment paper.
  • Carefully remove the Dutch oven from the oven (it will be very hot) and use the parchment to lift the bread into the pot. Cover with the lid.
  • Bake the bread for 35 minutes. Remove the lid and reduce the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Bake for 15 more minutes, until the bread is golden brown.
  • Carefully slide the bread out of the pot and onto a wire rack. Remove the parchment paper and let the bread cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.
  • Slice the bread and serve as desired.
  • Enjoy!

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 c light olive oil
1 1/2 c sugar
2 large eggs
1 c solid pack canned pumpkin
1/3 c milk
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 c chopped pecans
THE TOPPING
1/2 c chopped pecans
1/4 c firmly packed brown sugar
2 Tbsp light olive oil

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan lightly with flour no-stick cooking spray.
  • 2. In a medium bowl stir olive oil and sugar together with a spoon. Stir in eggs until blended. Add the pumpkin and milk. In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and ginger. Add to pumpkin mixture, stiring until well blended. Stir the 1/2 cup of pecans in.
  • 3. Pour the batter into your prepared pan.
  • 4. Combine the 1/2 cup of pecans, brown sugar, and the olive oil until mixed and crumbly. Sprinkle over the batter.
  • 5. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before removing it from the pan. Place on wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin: For the best flavor, use a sugar pumpkin or a pie pumpkin. These pumpkins have a sweet, dense flesh that is perfect for baking.
  • Roast the pumpkin: Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. Be sure to roast the pumpkin until it is very soft, so that it can be easily mashed.
  • Use fresh spices: Fresh spices will give your loaf the best flavor. If you don't have fresh spices on hand, you can use dried spices, but be sure to use half the amount.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the loaf tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the loaf until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the loaf is cooked through.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin pecan loaf is a delicious and easy-to-make fall treat. It is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With its moist texture, sweet pumpkin flavor, and crunchy pecans, this loaf is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
