Spiced Pumpkin Bread

Spiced Pumpkin Bread recipe image
This Spiced Pumpkin Bread is a comforting fusion of soft, fluffy yeast bread and the warm, earthy flavors of fall.

The result is a loaf with a tender crumb and a beautiful golden-brown crust. Its perfect for breakfast with butter, as a side for soups and stews, or sliced for toast. While the original recipe was designed for a bread machine, this recipe works beautifully by hand or in a stand mixer, allowing you to enjoy the fresh-baked aroma filling your kitchen.

Ingredients
  • 1/2 tablespoon Active dry yeast
  • 3 cups Bread flour
  • 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon Salt
  • 3 teaspoons Pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup Pumpkin puree
  • 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
  • 2 Large eggs
Directions
  1. 1
    Combine warm water (about 1/2 cup, not listed in ingredients but necessary for yeast activation), the yeast, and 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar in a small bowl. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. 2
    In a large mixing bowl or bread machine pan, combine the bread flour, remaining brown sugar, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
  3. 3
    Add the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and the activated yeast mixture to the dry ingredients.
  4. 4
    If using a bread machine, select the "Dough" or "Basic White" setting. If mixing by hand, beat on medium speed until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes. Add more flour if too sticky or more water if too dry.
  5. 5
    Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 45-60 minutes.
  6. 6
    Punch down the dough and shape into a loaf. Place in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  7. 7
    Let the dough rise again for 20-30 minutes until it crests slightly above the rim of the pan.
  8. 8
    Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 190F (88C) and the top is golden brown.
  9. 9
    Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
