Savory pumpkin bread

Happy New year to all. Starting this year with a pumpkin bread recipe.


Whole wheat flour.        - 3/4 cup
All purpose flour.           -3/4 cup
Pumpkin puree.             - 1 cup
Active dry yeast             -1 tbsp
Salt.                                - as needed.


Mix the flours, yeast and salt together. Add the pumpkin puree to this and mix well to form a sticky dough. Knead for about 15 minutes. Then place in a bowl and keep in a warm place until it doubles.

Pre heat oven to 425 F. Bake for 30- 40 minutes until done. Make sure to make a few cuts on the top to avoid cracking of the bread.






1.We made the pumpkin puree by steam cooking the leftover Halloween pumpkin and mashing it into a smooth paste. Store bought pumpkin puree could also be substituted for this.
2. If you want to avoid kneading, refrigerate dough for about 12-14 hours after mixing the ingredients together.
