Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons instant or active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup lukewarm milk 113 grams
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1-1/2 cups canned pumpkin puree 340 grams
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 25 grams
  • 6-1/2 cups all-purpose flour 780 grams
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed 106 grams
  • 2-1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place all of the ingredients into a large mixing bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer.
  2. If kneading by hand mix together the ingredients and knead by hand until a smooth soft dough is achieved. If using an electric mixer, fit it with the dough hook and knead until a smooth soft dough is achieved. I used an electric mixer with a dough hook and this took about 10 minutes.
  3. Light grease a large mixing bowl and add the dough.
  4. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 60-75 minutes.
  5. Lightly oil your work surface.
  6. Gently deflate your dough and turn it out on the oiled work surface.
  7. Shape each half into a loaf, and place in lightly greased 9" x 5" loaf pans.
  8. Cover the pans and let the loaves rise until almost doubled, about 45 minutes.
  9. Toward the end of the rising time preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  10. Bake the bread for 30 to 35 minutes, or until its crust is a deep golden brown, and a digital thermometer inserted into the center registers about 190 degrees F.
  11. Remove the bread from the oven, and turn it out onto a rack to cool. Store completely cool bread at room temperature for up to 5 days.
