   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
      1/2           cup  warm water
   2          teaspoons  active dry yeast
      3/4           cup  milk -- at room temp
   2        tablespoons  oil
      1/4           cup  honey
   1                cup  pumpkin puree
   4 1/2           cups  all-purpose flour -- to 5c
   2          teaspoons  salt
   2 1/2      teaspoons  pumpkin pie spice
   1              large  egg
      1/2           cup  raw pepitas

Notes: This recipe makes two loaves of fluffy, lightly sweetened and 
seasons pumpkin yeast bread, perfect for making sandwiches or cinnamon toast!

Pour the warm water into the bowl of a stand mixer and sprinkle the 
yeast over top of it. Allow the yeast to dissolve, about 5 minutes.

Whisk in the milk, honey, and oil. Add the pumpkin puree and stir to 
combine. Add two cups of flour, the salt, and the pumpkin pie spice 
to the wet ingredients and stir until well integrated. Add an 
additional 2-1/2 cups of flour and, using the dough hook, knead the 
bread on medium speed for about 5 minutes or until the bread starts 
to become stretchy. Add additional flour to the bowl during the 
kneading process to get the dough the right texture. You are looking 
for a wet dough that pulls away slightly from the sides of the bowl.

Grease a large bowl and place the dough in it, covered with a piece 
of plastic wrap, to rise until doubled in size, about 1-1/2 hours. If 
the dough seems to have a hard time rising, move the bowl to a 
slightly warmer area of the kitchen. I like to let mine rise next to 
a warm oven.

Once doubled in size, dump the dough out onto a floured surface and 
divide into two equal pieces. Gently pat each piece of dough into a 
loaf-pan shaped rectangle and fold the two long edges to meet in the 
center of the dough. Rotate the dough 90 degrees and repeat. Fold the 
dough once more and gently form it into a loaf-shaped log. Place the 
dough into a greased loaf pan (8.5" X 4.5" X 2.75") and cover loosely 
with plastic wrap. Allow each loaf to rise a second time for about 45 
minutes until the dough has domed an inch above the top of the pan. 
Preheat the oven to 425F.

In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 teaspoon of water. Brush a thin 
layer of this egg wash over top of each loaf and sprinkle with the 
pepitas. Place dough pans in the oven and immediately decrease the 
heat to 375F. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the top of each loaf 
is golden brown and sounds a bit hollow when tapped.

Cool in the pan on a cooling rack for ten minutes and then remove 
each loaf from the pan to continue cooling on their own. Once cooled 
completely, wrap in a bread bag or a large sheet of aluminum foil to 
keep fresh! Loaves can be frozen after baking if desired.
