Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let sit for about five minutes until frothy. Stir in melted butter, sugar, eggs, and pumpkin puree until well mixed.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients while stirring until a slightly sticky dough forms.
- Knead Dough: Lightly flour your work surface and turn out the dough. Knead gently for about five minutes until smooth. Place back in the bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about one hour).
- Shape Your Bread: Once risen, punch down the dough and roll into a rectangle. Cut into strips approximately two inches wide and stack them before placing them into a greased bundt pan.
- Final Rise: Cover the assembled dough again with a cloth and let rise for an additional thirty minutes while preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake: Bake in the oven for about thirty-five minutes or until golden brown on top. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
