The fall pumpkin recipes continue!
Ingredients:
Bread:
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 tbs active dry yeast
1/2 cup milk, whole or 2%
2 tbs cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tsp cinnamon
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Filling:
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
2 tbs pumpkin puree
2 1/2 tbs pumpkin spice
OR (if you don’t have pumpkin spice)
(1 1/2 tbs cinnamon
4 teaspoons ginger
2 teaspoon allspice
2 teaspoon nutmeg)
Directions:
1. Put the raisins in a small bowl filled with hot water. Let the raisins plump up, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. Pour a cup of warm water into the bowl of a standing mixer or large mixing bowl. Add the yeast and stir gently. (You can use the water from soaking the raisins) Give it a about 10 minutes, then stir to fully dissolve the yeast.
3. Stir the milk, melted butter, cinnamon and salt into the water.
4. Add the flour and stir to form a shaggy dough. Knead in your mixer on low speed with a dough hook (or knead by hand for 8-10 minutes to form a smooth, slightly tacky dough). If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
5. With the mixer on low, gradually add the raising to the bowl and continue kneading until they are evenly distributed.
6. Cover the dough with a saran wrap or a towel and place in the warm dry place. Let rise for about an hour.
7. Roll the dough out on the counter. Make sure that the dough is a little less wide that your loaf pan. Try to make the dough about 1/6th to 1/8th of an inch think.
8. Spread the pumpkin puree over the dough evenly, leave about 1/2 inch boarder.
9. Combine sugar and pumpkin spice. Sprinkle the dough generously this mixture.
10. Roll up the dough and place it in the greased loaf pan, seam side down.
11. Let the loaf rise until mounded over the top, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with some pumpkin spice and sugar mixture over the top.
12. Preheat the oven to 375. Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown. Let cool.

No eggs?! I’m doing the happy dance! It is hard to find bread recipes that do not include eggs. My little girl is allergic to them and LOVES pumpkin recipes. We will be trying this with gluten free flour soon! Thanks for sharing this!
WillCookForSmiles
Nope, no eggs! The only egg can be included in a wash but not necessary at all! Hope you guys enjoy it š

OH this could be good. I have a recipe already for cinnamon buns (hearts) on the blog already but this looks more like bread/cake… much lighter in any case. Must try it. Meanwhile, I’d like to invite you to come link it up with us…. http://www.finecraftguild.com/party-35/

Yum! Can you believe that I had a good friend tell me a couple of days ago that she doesn’t like pumpkin flavored things? Is that crazy or what?
WillCookForSmiles
No way! It’s like someone not liking ice cream! Crazy!
WillCookForSmiles
Wheee!

Thank you so much!
Nova
I would like to know if the dough to this recipe can be made in a bread machine? Then shaped and baked in the oven? Also, can the bread be frozen and baked later?
lyuba
Hi Nova!
I actually don’t own a bread machine and never used one so I am not sure how to cook in the bread machine.
You can actually bake the bread and freeze it. Here is a good article on how to freeze bread: https://www.thekitchn.com/the-best-way-to-freeze-and-thaw-bread-246477
I really hope this helps!
Yang
I have never really read anything about pumpkin in bread, but it sure sounds really good. It looks absolutely gorgeous as well. I will be making this recipe next week. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
lyuba
I hope you like it, Yang! Pumpkin is actually in the swirl but it does infuse the bread taste š
