Pumpkin Yeast Bread
June 3, 2007 at 3:59 pm | In recipe |
this is my new favorite recipe. honestly, I’ve never eaten a better bread. yum!
if you don’t have a bread machine, check this out: it’s absolutely easy and possible to make this bread without one.
you can make pumpkin buns or pumpkin bagels too.
play around with various flours: I’ve already made it with 2 cups bread flour and 1 cup whole wheat, 1 cup kamut flour and 2 cups white whole wheat…it always comes out delicious.
1 1/2 pound recipe for your bread machine
3/4 cup canned pumpkin [PURE pumpkin, not pie mix]
2/3 cup pure water at room temp OR rice/soy milk, warmed up if stored in fridge
1 T vegan margarine
3 cups white whole wheat flour
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
4 t vital wheat gluten
1 1/2 t sea salt
1 3/4 t active dry yeast OR bread machine yeast
place all ingredients in your machine following manufacturer’s instructions.
flours must be spooned into dry ingredients measuring cups, and leveled with a knife.
use “BASIC” cycle. once cycle is over, remove from pan and let cool on a rack.
recipe adapted from “Betty Crocker’s Bread Machine Cookbook”

stinker [teehee]: it’s made of sunflower seeds and oil, for the most part. I’m told it has to be eaten fairly quickly because it spoils easily. and for some reason, that doesn’t seem like a problem to me. having to eat quickly, I mean. ;p

oh Mitsu, here’s the french version of the site:

That bread looks amazing! If only I had a bread maker…!

Comment by Courtney — June 3, 2007 #
I’m sure you can make it without one! following the usual bread making guidelines, i.e., proofing the yeast [maybe upping the quantity to a whole small package] for ten minutes, kneading it for about the same time, letting it rise in a warm, non drafty place for an hour and a half [covered with a towel], punching it down, letting it rise again for an hour. now that’s where it gets a bit trickier, guessing the oven temp and baking time, but my best guess would be 375-400F for anywhere between half an hour to 45 minutes.

I love the idea of pumpkin whole wheat bread! And I love the look of that spread… mmm. I’m always on the lookout for new spready type things.
Oh p.s. I’m hunting down the cornbread recipe for you! My husband never seems to write anything down…grrr!

don’t worry about the recipe! you’ll find it when you find it, there’s no rush. thank you so much for even trying!!!
Comment by Celine — June 4, 2007 #
It sounds so healthy, Celine! And what a vibrant color the bread is… I love it!
Comment by Patricia Scarpin — June 4, 2007 #
if you have a breadmaker, I definitely recommend it. even without one. like I said in a comment to someone else, there’s no reason why this bread wouldn’t be doable the normal way.
Comment by Celine — June 4, 2007 #
Thanks for the non-breadmaker suggestions!

The spread looks like rebranded Streich from a German company called Zwergenwiese.

Don’t know if they have a distributor in the US.

Celine, have you ever made this bread with all whole wheat flour? I always make it with 2 cups bread flour and 1 cup whole wheat, I didn’t have white wheat. Do you think that it would be good with some rye flour and to replace the water/soy milk with beer? I was thinking about trying it that way next time. This is my favorite bread ever :)
Comment by Shannon — October 12, 2007 #
it is a bit denser when made entirely with whole wheat, but it’s absolutely tasty too!
yes, beer good! how about using the pumpkin ale that’s been at the store lately? it’s to die for. :)
and another definite yes for rye flour, but go easy on it, maybe 1 cup at the most. I’m so glad you like it so much!

Hi, I am wondering if you still need the gluten if you use 2 c. bread flour and 1 c. whole wheat? I am not opposed to gluten, but I made bread yesterday that wasn’t right and I feel I may have added too much gluten.
Thanks

4 t wouldn’t be too much, but if you’d rather do without, it’ll work fine too Erin.

Quick question…
Does this make a loaf that’s the same size as one you’d buy in a store… 18 slices if I recall correctly?
Thanks, I was just curious.
It looks delicious and I’m making it asap :]
Comment by Donna — June 18, 2008 #
this one yields 12 slices, Donna.

Just made this today and it was the best softest sandwich bread ever! Looking forward to when I can have some tomorrow!…
Comment by Lisa — July 22, 2008 #
wonderful, Lisa! it’s funny because I just made a bread machine-free loaf of it too.
(just in case anyone’s interested: almost 4 cups light spelt flour, 1/4 cup vital wheat gluten, 2 T pure maple syrup, and 1 T walnut oil)

I have been craving pumpkin baked goods lately, and I LOVE making bread, so this is going to be made ASAP! Thanks for the recipe!
