GOLDEN RAISIN-PECAN PUMPKIN LOAVES

Steps:

• Sift together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg & salt.
• Mix the yeast & the warm water in a a small bowl.
• Beat the butter and sugar at medium speed until creamy. Add the pumpkin and egg and beat until blended.
• Add the yeast to the wet ingredients. Add the dry ingredients, about ½ cup at a time. Add flour & mix until dough comes together - add more flour, a couple of tablespoonfuls at a time, until dough forms from batter.
• Knead 10 to 15 minutes (this is where a stand processor and a dough hook would come in handy). At the start, the mixture will look more like a batter than a dough - keep mixing/kneading.
• Mix in the pecans, pepitos and raisins, mixing only until incorporated. Add the cranberries and mix as little as possible to avoid crushing them.
• Scrape the dough into a lightly buttered large bowl, Cover tightly with plastic wrap and set aside at room temp to rise until nearly doubled in bulk, about 2 hours.
• When the dough has doubled, knead gently to deflate, wrap it tightly in plastic and refrigerate over night.
• At least 6 hours before you want to begin baking, remove the dough from the refrigerator. Leave the dough, covered in its bowl, until it reaches at least 64 degrees F on an instant read thermometer. (This will take as long as 3 or 4 hours) - If you don't have an instant read thermometer, look for the dough to be slightly cool and just a little spongy.
• Lightly butter two 8" x 4" bread loaf pans.
• Divide dough in two & shape to fit in two bread pans - seam side down.
• Cover the pans lightly with a kitchen towel and allow to rise atroom temp for 1½ - 2 hours, or until the dough has nearly doubled - it will rise just above the rims of the pans.
• Center a rack in the oven and preheat to 350°F Bake the loaves for about 35 minutes, or until deeply golden.
• Remove the pans to a cooling rack; after a 5-minute rest, turn the breads out of their pans and allow them to cool to room temp on the rack.
