enough for a holiday brunch, but don't limit yourself. A toasted, 
buttered slice can warm up any chilly morning.

In a small bowl, stir the milk with the granulated sugar and the 
yeast. Let stand for 5 minutes, until the yeast is foamy. Meanwhile, 
in a standing mixer fitted with the paddle, cream the 6 tablespoons 
of butter with the brown sugar, salt, nutmeg and orange zest at 
medium-high speed until light in color, about 2 minutes. Add the egg 
and vanilla and beat for 1 minute more. Add the pumpkin puree and 
beat until incorporated. Pour in the yeast mixture and beat at low 
speed to fully incorporate. The mixture will look curdled.

Switch to the bread hook. Add the 4 3/4 cups of bread flour and knead 
at low speed until nearly incorporated. Increase the speed to medium 
and knead until the dough is smooth and shiny, about 8 minutes; it 
will be very soft, but it should not be sticky.

Brush a large bowl with some of the melted butter and turn the dough 
out into it. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 
about 1 1/2 hours, until doubled in bulk.

Using a rubber spatula, mash the pumpkin puree with the softened 
butter in a small bowl. In a food processor, combine the turbinado 
sugar with the pecans, cranberries, cinnamon and ginger and pulse 
until the nuts are finely ground.

Preheat the oven to 350F. Butter a 10x5" loaf pan. Press down the 
risen dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently 
press it into a rectangle and sprinkle with flour. Roll out the dough 
to a 12x18"rectangle. Spread the pumpkin butter over the dough and 
sprinkle with the swirl mixture. Starting with a short side, tightly 
roll the dough up to form a 12" log. Pinch along the seam to seal. 
Fit the loaf into the prepared pan, seam-side down, tucking the ends 
underneath. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 
minutes, until the bread has domed above the edge of the pan.

Brush the top with melted butter and bake in the center of the oven 
for about 1 hour, until the top is a deep golden brown and the bottom 
of the pan sounds hollow when tapped. Let the loaf cool in the pan 
for 5 minutes; then unmold it onto a rack and let cool completely 
before slicing.
