Categories     Bakery Goods

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!

Spiced Maple Pecan Pumpkin Bread W/Cream Cheese Frosting image

This is from Organic Valley to share with you. This is a healthier alternative to the traditional pumpkin bread recipe that I had growing up... delicious!!!

Provided by PinkPoppy

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 Loaf, 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup organic butter, softened
1 cup pure organic maple syrup
2 large organic eggs
1 1/4 cups canned pumpkin
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans
2 (8 ounce) packages organic cream cheese
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 tablespoons organic butter, softened
1/2 cup agave nectar

Steps:

  • For the bread: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease a loaf pan.
  • Cream the butter, maple syrup, eggs, pumpkin, and vanilla in a large bowl. Usa a separate, large bowl and a wire whisk to mix the flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the pecans.
  • Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until barely incorporated - do not over mix. Spoon batter into greased loaf pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool the bread for 15-20 minutes on a wire rack, then remove the loaf from the pan to cool the rest of the way.
  • For the frosting: Cream all of the ingredients together well. Instead of frosting the entire loaf, I like to cut slices and then frost individual slices.

Tips:

  • Pumpkin Preparation: For the best pumpkin puree, choose a medium-sized sugar pumpkin (also called pie pumpkin). Cut it in half, scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp, then place it cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast the pumpkin halves at 400°F for 45-50 minutes or until tender. Once cool enough to handle, scoop the flesh out of the skin and mash it with a fork or potato masher.
  • Measuring Flour: To ensure accurate measurements, use a kitchen scale to weigh the flour. If using cups, fluff the flour with a fork before spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off with a knife.
  • Mixing the Batter: Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense loaf. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no streaks of flour remain.
  • Baking the Loaf: To test if the loaf is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the loaf is ready. If there is still batter attached to the toothpick, bake for a few more minutes.
  • Cooling and Storing: Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, wrap the loaf in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

This spiced pumpkin pecan loaf is a delightful treat that is perfect for fall gatherings or as a cozy snack. With its moist and flavorful pumpkin bread base, sweet and crunchy pecan filling, and warm spices, this loaf is sure to be a hit. Whether you enjoy it as a breakfast treat, an afternoon snack, or a dessert, this loaf is a delicious and satisfying choice.
