-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast -- (1/4 oz)
3 tablespoons warm water -- (110 to 115F)
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1 large egg
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter -- softened
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups bread flour -- (to 2-1/2C)
EGG WASH:
1 large egg
1 tablespoon water
I developed this bread to celebrate our two favorite holidays,
Thanksgiving and Hanukkah. Try it with flavored butters, and use
leftovers for French toast or sandwiches.
Prep: 30 min. + rising
Bake: 20 min.
Makes: 1 loaf (12 slices)
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl,
combine pumpkin, egg, brown sugar, butter, pie spice, salt, yeast
mixture and 1 cup flour; beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in
enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6
to 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the
top. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until
doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into
thirds. Roll each into a 16-in. rope. Place ropes on a greased baking
sheet and braid. Pinch ends to seal; tuck under.
Cover with a kitchen towel; let rise in a warm place until almost
doubled, about 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 350F.
For egg wash, in a small bowl, whisk egg and water until blended;
brush over loaf. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove
from pan to a wire rack to cool.

Review: Love the idea of including raisins. Wonderful taste. It was a
bit dry the first day and definitely dry by the next day. Wonder if
adding more pumpkin would remedy this???
Review: The bread is a little dryer than I expected with the pumpkin.
It does have a wonderful aroma that permeates through the entire house.
Review: Made this yesterday and it was wonderful. The aroma was so
enticing could hardly wait for the bread to cool down enough to be
able to slice it. Once the slicing began it continued until it was
all gone. Family loved it. Today made two more loaves, one with
raisins. Both were terrific!
