Slow Cooker Pumpkin Yeast Bread Food

SLOW COOKER BREAD

Steps:

• Stir 1 cup water and yeast together in a small bowl until yeast is dissolved. Let sit until frothy or foamy, about 10 minutes.
• Mix flour and salt together in a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid. Add yeast mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until evenly combined and no traces of flour remain. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons water and stir again; dough should be tacky but not wet.
• Cover container with the lid. Let dough rise at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Set slow cooker to High. Cut a piece of parchment paper to line the bottom of your slow cooker.
• Dust a clean work surface with flour. Knead dough briefly with floured hands to get rid of any air pockets. Shape into a round or oval loaf depending on the shape of your slow cooker.
• Sprinkle some of the sesame seeds on the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle remaining seeds generously all around the loaf. Place dough in the slow cooker and cover with the lid.
• Cook on High for 2 hours. Lift the lid a couple of times during cooking to release the steam. An instant-read thermometer inserted deep into the loaf should read between 200 and 210 degrees F (93 to 99 degrees C). The surface of the bread should be dry and no longer spongy. Remove the loaf and tap the bottom; it should sound hollow.
• Remove loaf from the slow cooker. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before cutting, at least 1 hour.

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.

PUMPKIN YEAST BREAD LOAVES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a bowl and 2 loaf pans.
• Stir yeast in warm water in a bowl until dissolved. Let sit until yeast starts to foam, about 5 minutes.
• Stir pumpkin, milk, shortening, sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom into the yeast mixture. Add eggs and 3 cups flour. Beat, using an electric mixer on medium speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, about 2 minutes. Mix in remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
• Turn it onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Place dough in the greased bowl and turn to coat. Cover with a clean cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Punch down dough and turn onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough in half; form into loaves and place into the prepared pans. Cover loaves with a clean cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top and sides are brown, about 35 minutes.

PUMPKIN YEAST BREAD

Steps:

• Place ingredients in bread machine pan in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Select basic setting. Start.
• To bake bread in oven: select dough or manual cycle. Once cycle is complete, shape dough and place in a greased loaf pan. Allow to rise in a warm spot until doubled in size. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 35 to 45 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the center of the loaf reads 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).

SLOW COOKER BREAD

Steps:

• Mix the flour, yeast and salt in a large bowl and make a well in the middle. Measure 350ml warm water and pour most of it into the well. Mix the flour and water together with your fingers or a wooden spoon until combined into a slightly wet, pillowy, workable dough - add a splash more water if necessary.
• Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for at least 10 mins until smooth and elastic. This can also be done in a tabletop mixer with a dough hook.
• Shape the dough into a large, tight ball and sit the ball on a square of baking parchment. Use the parchment to lift the dough into your slow cooker, cover and set the slow cooker to high. Leave for 2 hrs.
• Lift the bread out using the parchment. The bottom should be crusty and the top should be springy, not soft. (If you have a digital cooking thermometer, the middle of the loaf should be 90C.) If it isn't ready, return to the slow cooker for 15 mins and test again - it could take up to 2 hrs 30 mins.
• The bread won't get a significant crust or golden colour in the slow cooker. Once cooked, you can leave it to cool, or put in the oven at 240C/220C fan/gas 9 for 5-10 mins to get some colour.

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.
