Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes     White Bread Recipes

Time 14h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup pure pumpkin puree
1 cup warm water (100 degrees F/40 degrees C)
1 tablespoon warm water (100 degrees F/40 degrees C)
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon active dry yeast
1 tiny pinch pumpkin pie spice
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornmeal, or as needed

Steps:

  • Place pumpkin puree into a large mixing bowl and whisk in 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon warm water, salt, yeast, and pumpkin pie spice until thoroughly combined. Beat in flour to make a dry crumbly dough. Keep stirring until dough becomes smooth and sticky, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Cover bowl with a damp towel and let dough stand 12 to 16 hours to rise.
  • Generously sprinkle cornmeal onto center area of a baking sheet. Scrape dough out of bowl, using a floured spatula, onto a heavily floured work surface. Dough will be very sticky. Dust dough with flour and gently flatten into an oblong shape. Fold 2 opposite rounded ends together to meet in the center; fold remaining 2 rounded ends to meet in the center, creating a rectangle of dough. Using well-floured hands, gently form into a round loaf with the seams on the bottom.
  • Transfer dough round onto center of prepared baking sheet. Dust top and sides of loaf generously with more flour.
  • Dust a dry towel with flour and place towel with floured side down over loaf. Let rise until loaf has almost doubled in size, 1 1/2 hours. Use a sharp knife to cut a 1/2-inch deep slit across the top of the loaf.
  • Place a loaf pan containing about 2 inches of water onto a bottom rack of oven. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Bake on center rack of the preheated oven for 30 minutes; turn bread around in oven. Continue to bake until bread is golden brown and crusty, about 20 more minutes. Let bread cool completely on a rack before slicing.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin: Use a sugar pumpkin or pie pumpkin, as they have a sweeter, denser flavor than other varieties.
  • Roast the pumpkin before using it: Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it: This will help prevent the bread from crumbling.
  • Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature: The bread will stay fresh for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Moist, flavorful, and packed with warm spices, this pumpkin bread is the perfect fall treat. With its easy-to-follow recipe and helpful tips, this bread is sure to become a family favorite. Whether you enjoy it as a snack, dessert, or breakfast, this pumpkin bread is sure to please everyone at your table. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and let's get baking!
