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!

Provided by Kardea Brown

Time 2h30m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 20

Nonstick cooking spray, for the loaf pan
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup unsweetened pumpkin puree
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons strongly steeped chai tea or chai tea concentrate
1 tablespoon heavy cream
Pinch of ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • For the loaf: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line with a piece of parchment paper, allowing the sides to hang over the edges of the pan.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, cardamom, ginger, salt, cloves and nutmeg in a medium bowl until well combined.
  • Whisk together the pumpkin, butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs and vanilla in a large bowl until well combined. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl and stir until completely incorporated.
  • Pour into the prepared loaf pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs sticking to it and the cake springs back when gently pressed, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool for 30 minutes before unmolding and cooling completely on a wire rack.
  • For the glaze: In the meantime, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, chai tea, cream and cinnamon in a small bowl. Drizzle over the top of the cooled loaf and let the glaze set before slicing and serving.

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 1h

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup pumpkin, cooked and mashed (can use canned)
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons orange marmalade
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
2/3 cup pecans, chopped
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup orange marmalade

Steps:

  • Bread:.
  • Grease and flour a 9 x 5 x 3 inch loafpan; line with wax paper. Grease and flour the wax paper. Set aside.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, soda, and salt; stir well. Combine pumpkin and the next 9 ingredients in a medium mixing bowl; beat well at medium speed of an electric mixer. Add flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture, beating well. Stir in the pecans.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan; remove wax paper, and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Cream Cheese Spread:.
  • Beat the softened cream cheese at medium speed of an electric mixer until smooth. Add 1/2 cup orange marmalade, beating mixture until it is well blended. Serve with the bread.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin: Fresh pumpkin has a more intense flavor than canned pumpkin. If you're using fresh pumpkin, be sure to peel and cube it before cooking.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the loaf tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches: A smaller loaf pan will result in a loaf that is too tall and may not cook evenly.
  • Bake the loaf until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 55-65 minutes.
  • Let the loaf cool completely before slicing: This will help the loaf to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
  • Store the loaf in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the loaf for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Spiced pumpkin loaf is a classic fall treat that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its warm spices and moist texture, this loaf is perfect for enjoying on a chilly day. Whether you're serving it for breakfast, lunch, or dessert, spiced pumpkin loaf is sure to be a hit.
