Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl stir together 1-1/2 cups of the flour, the yeast, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves; set aside.

• Add to the flour mixture; add pumpkin.
• Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping the sides of the bowl constantly.
• Beat on high speed for 3 minutes.
• Using a wooden spoon, stir in nuts, chocolate chips and as much of the remaining flour as you can while still keeping a pliable dough.
• Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface.
• Knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes total).

• Cover and let rise in warm place until double (30 to 45 minutes).

HARVEST PUMPKIN BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease and flour two 8.5x5 inch loaf pans.
• In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin, sugar, eggs, oil, and water.
• In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger.
• Next stir the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until just moistened and pour into the prepared pans.
• Bake for approximately 50 to 60 minutes in a preheated oven.

THE LIFE-CHANGING LOAF OF BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Combine all dry ingredients in a flexible, silicon loaf pan. Stir well.
• Whisk maple syrup, oil and water together in a measuring cup. Add to dry ingredients. Mix very well until everything is completely soaked and dough becomes very thick (if the dough is too thick to stir, add one or two teaspoons of water until the dough is manageable). Smooth out the top with the back of a spoon. Let sit out on the counter for at least 2 hours, or all day or overnight. To ensure the dough is ready, it should retain its shape even when you pull the sides of the loaf pan away from it. If using a metal loaf pan, line it with parchment paper before adding the ingredients. The loaf will come out easily when it's time to take it out to turn it.
• Place loaf pan in the oven on the middle rack, and bake for 20 minutes.
• Remove bread from loaf pan, place it upside down directly on the rack and bake for another 30-40 minutes. Bread is done when it sounds hollow when tapped. Let cool completely before slicing.
• Store bread in a tightly sealed container for up to five days. Freezes well too - slice before freezing for quick and easy toast!
