NO KNEAD HOLIDAY PUMPKIN BREAD

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.

Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., For filling, mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir down dough, beating about 25 times; turn dough onto a well-floured surface (dough will be sticky). Roll into a 12x10-in. rectangle. Brush with melted butter to within 1/2 in. of edges; sprinkle with brown sugar mixture. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut into 12 slices., Place in a greased 9-in. round pan, cut side down. Cover; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°., Bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes.

NO KNEAD PUMPKIN YEAST BREAD

Steps:

• Mix the pumpkin puree, water, yeast, and salt in a mixing bowl. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, stir in flour one half cup at a time until a sticky dough forms. Do not knead the dough, as it's too sticky and messy.
• Once mixed, cover the bowl with a towel, and leave out for 12 to 16 hours.
• Flour a work surface well, gently turn the dough out of the bowl onto the floured surface. Flour your hands and pat down into a square shape. Fold each corner to the center, then fold the edges under until you have the desired round or oblong shape. Generously sprinkle cornmeal on a baking sheet about twice the size of the loaf. The dough will stick unless you put a good amount down on the pan. Transfer loaf to the pan, folds are facing down. Sprinkle the top with flour.
• Place a clean, dry towel over the loaf, and allow to rise for 1 1/2 hours in a warm spot. Place a pie pan half-filled with water at the bottom of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Remove the towel from the dough in the baking sheet, and make a 1/2-inch deep incision across the top of the loaf with a sharp knife. Bake on the middle rack for 50 - 55 minutes. Allow to cool on a rack before slicing.

NO-KNEAD HARVEST BREAD

Steps:

• In large bowl or container mix together the flours, salt, yeast and water.
• Stir until all the flour is incorporated and the dough is a sticky ball (you may have to use your hands to thoroughly mix in in the flour).
• Stir in the fruit and nuts -- do not overmix.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 8 to 18 hours.
• Shape and Bake:.
• Turn the dough out onto a lighly floured surface and quickly shape into a ball by gently stretching the surface of the dough around to the bottom on all four sides, rotating the ball a quarter-turn as you go. Most of the dusting flour will fall off. The bottom of the loaf may appear to be a collection of bunched ends, but they will flatten out during resting and baking. The dough ball should be smooth and cohesive and take no more than 30 to 60 seconds to shape. (To form a log gently stretch the dough. It may be helpful to gently roll it on a floured work surface.).
• Place the dough in the pan lined with parchment paper.
• Cover and let rise at room temperature for approximately 2 hours; until a slight indentation remains when you poke it with a finger.
• Just before baking make several slashes to allow for expansion.
• Place lid on pot and place bread in cold oven.
• Set the temperature for 450 degrees.
• Bake for 45 minutes, then remove lid and continue to back another 5 to 10 minutes; until it's a dark brown color (should be 205 degrees in center).
• Remove from oven and turn out onto a rack and cool before slicing.
