PUMPKIN PULL APART BREAD

You guys…my book went on sale today!!

YES! My pumpkin cookbook is now on sale. This is so surreal just holding it in my hands and watching people looking through it with amazement. I have the biggest smile on my face, seeing my family be so proud of me. I’m very excited to announce this to all of you, my readers, and I’m very nervous as well. It’s like being on display and waiting to hear everyone’s opinions. Eek! I hope you like it!

I was very happy working on this book because I absolutely adore pumpkin and I’ve loved it ever since I was a kid. My grandmother used to grow pumpkins and I remember helping her in the garden. Although, my favorite part was harvest time and eating time of course. She used to make many different things with pumpkin and she always got me to try it.

To celebrate release of my book, I made us some quick pumpkin pull apart bread. It’s quick and easy to make and you won’t be able to stay away from this delicious treat. Just get some pre-made pizza dough from the deli section of your grocery store and you will be ready to go. This bread will be perfect with morning cup of tea on a lazy weekend morning or as a snack for kids coming back from school.

PUMPKIN LOVER’S COOKBOOK

This book, is all about using pumpkin in every way possible. The best part is, I am still full of ideas that I can’t wait to share.

You might think that making a whole book of pumpkin recipes could get overwhelming but not for me. So many people asked me if I was sick of pumpkin yet and I’d just laugh and say, “neva!” I’m always ready to jump into creating more pumpkin recipes.

This cookbook is full of pumpkin goodies to create and share with your family and friends. There are over seventy recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, appetizers, and desserts, this book is stuffed with tasty and tempting treats you are sure to love.  And please don’t miss extra recipes that had to be cut from the book. I added them all here, for you to try.

To order The Pumpkin Lover’s Cookbook, you can visit Amazon and Barns and Noble websites.

Other Pumpkin Recipes include those pictured: donuts, cake, cupcakes, mousse, bread, soup, and Mexican style food.

    How exciting to have a book on sale. And pumpkin is one of my favorite flavors. I like pumpkin pie the least. But breads and cakes are right up there with my all time favorites.

    This bread sounds awesome

    Congratulations and good luck. Wishes for tasty dishes, Linda

      Hi Danette,
      You can buy caramel sauce or caramel topping at the store or you can came one yourself. I have a recipe for one right here: https://www.willcookforsmiles.com/2014/08/ultimate-caramel-cake-and-60-birthday-cakes-collection.html

    The pizza dough for this,,is it in a can or do I buy the rectangle prebaked?

      Hi Helen,
      Actually, if you check a deli section of your grocery store, they should have fresh pre-made dough in a bag. It’s freshly made every couple of days.
      If you can’t find it anywhere, I’d go with a couple of cans of original pizza dough. (But I’m not sure the amount exactly because I haven’t tried using canned one.)

        Thank You. Here in PA, I know none of our Deli Departments makes pizza dough. I can make my own, just wanted an easy way out. Thank You!!!!

    I’m just trying this recipe today for Halloween cause it seemed fun. But I must not have done it right because after the time the recipe says to bake it was sill soft in the middle. It’s still in the oven now for a good 10 min or so extra and still nothing. I think I must have put the squares in the pan wrong. The recipe doesn’t say how so I just layered them in he bottom. Looking at other recipes it seems I should have stood the pan on one end and stacked the squares that way perhaps? I think it’d be good to include in your recipe how the squares are suppose to be put in the pan. Hopefully it turns out.

      Hi Chase,
      I’m sorry about the confusion! Yes, the slices of dough should be side by side, not on top of each other in the pan. I hope it turns out too! I will clarify the directions here!

        I was wondering how they were supposed to be stacked as well and was going to completely by-pass this recipe despite how yummy it looks because the instructions aren’t well written. It appears as though you still haven’t edited the recipe. I’m sure I’m not the only one who turned away because it wasn’t well written and confusing.

          I’m sorry you were confused as well. This is actually only the second time this concern has been brought up but I have gotten many messages on social media from people making the bread. I’m sorry the instructions aren’t clear to you, I thought is would be easy to tell from the final photo that they are layered side by side.
          I did forget to edit the recipe, thank you for reminding me. It is edited now.

        I”m sorry about that, Meredith! I will reword it and take some step by step pictures. I’ll actually work on a quick demo video too. That will make it easier. I hope you will give the bread another shot 🙂

    Hi, this sounds delicious. I got some walnuts on sale and wondered if you thought finely chopped nuts on top of the pumpkin mixture would be good? I’m making it for Christmas eve tomorrow. I think my family will love it. Thanks for sharing.

      Hi April,
      I’m sorry, I’ve never tried freezing a baked good. I don’t actually freeze much savory dishes either. Sorry, I’m not sure how this would come out after being frozen.

      Hi Becky, you can always make it ahead of time but you would just have to eat it cold or reheat it. As with anything else, reheated isn’t always as good as fresh from the oven 🙂
      I hope you enjoy it!

    I am just wondering if you could use the frozen bread dough instead of the pizza dough for this recipe

      August 17, 2017 at 10:42 am

      Hi Judee,
      I am actually not familiar with frozen bread dough but if you’re talking like raw frozen biscuit dough, I think that would work. Just gently roll out each biscuit, spread the filling on each biscuit, and put them together in and into the pan. Depending on the size of the biscuit, you can layer them in different container.
      You can even use something like this: https://www.willcookforsmiles.com/2016/04/easy-poppy-seed-pull-apart-muffins.html
      I hope it works well!!

    I, too, stacked the pieces the wrong way. It was my fault. Had I looked closer at the photo, I would have realized. The finished product wasn’t as pretty as the photos you posted, but it still tasted delicious!

    Can you assemble the pull apart pumpkin bread a day or two before baking? I’m trying to get a head start before baking this on Thanksgiving.

      Hi Sindy!
      I can’t imagine why not. Just make sure to cover it with saran wrap before refrigerating. You might need to bake extra 5 or so minutes since it will be cold. If the top is browning too fast while baking, loosely cover it with foil.
      Happy Thanksgiving!
