Yeasted Pumpkin Bread Food

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 RAISIN YEAST BREAD

Steps:

• Heat milk to just under boiling. Add the raisins and allow to sit for an hour to allow the raisins to soften.
• In the bowl of a mixer, combine pumpkin, honey, and egg.
• Add milk, raisins, and yeast. Mix well.
• Add 2 cups flour and spices. Mix again.
• Add the other 2 cups of flour. Mix until incorporated, then mix on medium speed for another minute or so. (This can also be done with a strong wooden spoon - work those muscles!).
• Leave the batter in the bowl and allow to rise for an hour.
• Thoroughly grease a 10 cup bundt pan and sprinkle the surface with raw sugar. (you can also use 1 standard loaf pan plus two mini loaf pans, angel food cake pan, 10 inch springform pan).
• Stir the dough down, and distribute the dough evenly around the pan. Wet your fingers and smooth the top, using a bit of pressure to compress the dough and eliminate air pockets.
• Allow dough to rise in the pan until about doubled in size.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 40-50 minutes (for the bundt pan). It should sound hallow when done. Let cool five minutes in pan, then loosen around the edges and invert it onto a cooling rack.

PUMPKIN RYE YEAST BREAD

Steps:

• In a small pan,bring water to a boil, then boil the fennel and dill seeds and onion for 1 minute.
• Let cool to room temperature.
• Combine water mixture and espresso powder, coca powder, salt, butter, and yeast in a mixing bowl and let rest 5-10 minutes until it starts to get frothy.
• Beat in pumpkin using an electric mixer.
• Gradually add rye flour, wheat flour, and only 3 cups of the all-purpose flour, mixing well.
• Add enough of the remaining 1 cup of all-purpose flour to form a sticky mass that is just starting to come away from the sides of the bowl.
• Knead on a floured board 10 minutes, adding a bit more flour if needed to make a soft, pliable ball of dough.
• Place into a greased bowl, flip over once to coat top, then cover with greased plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in bulk (about 1 hour).
• Punch dough down and divide in half.
• Shape each half into loaves, then place into 2 greased loaf pans (9x5x3").
• Let rise (covered as before) in a warm place for about 1 hour (or until doubled).
• Bake in a preheated oven at 350 F for 50-55 minutes, or until they sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
• Let cool on racks completely before slicing.

PUMPKIN DATE NUT BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
• In large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar and 1 egg, then beat in second egg until batter is smooth.
• Stir in pumpkin, orange zest and orange juice.
• In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and spices, then add nuts and dates.
• Pour all at once into batter in mixing bowl and stir by hand only to moisten.
• Pour into prepared loaf pan.
• Bake for 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
• Cool in pan for 10 minutes, them remove loaf to rack to cool completely.

CONFETTI YEASTED PUMPKIN BREAD

Steps:

• Bring yeast, pumpkin, and eggs to room temperature.
• Combine dry goods together in the bowl of your stand mixer and stir gently to blend well. Make sure the dried fruits and pumpkin seeds are evenly coated with flour.
• Combine pumpkin, eggs, and warm melted butter in a separate bowl and stir well.
• Add wet ingredients to the dry, and stir with the paddle attachment on your mixer until the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl. Switch to the dough hook and knead 5 to 7 minutes, or until smooth, adding additional flour sparingly if dough is too wet.
• Transfer dough to a clean, lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise 1 to 2 hours, or until doubled in bulk.
• Punch down dough and turn out onto a lightly oiled counter top or a silicone mat. Divide dough into quarters, and shape each quarter into a tight ball.
• Place balls onto parchment lined baking sheets. (Two balls should fit on a standard sheet pan.) Cover with lightly greased plastic wrap and allow to rise another hour, or until puffy, but not doubled. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F during the last 10 minutes of the rise.
• Bake at 375 degrees 30 to 35 minutes, tenting the tops of the bread with foil during the last 10 to 15 minutes to prevent over browning, if necessary. The interior temperature of the bread should read about 200 degrees F on an instant read thermometer, and the bread should sound hollow when tapped.
• Cool on a wire rack until you can't stand the tantalizing smell any longer, and have to cut yourself a slice!
