    Ingredients
      

    • 1 packet Active dry yeast or Fast rising yeast ( 2 ¼ teaspoon or 7g)
    • 2 teaspoon Sugar
    • 1 ½ cup Warm Water
    • 1 cup Pumpkin puree
    • 2 tablespoon Vegetable oil or coconut oil or cooking oil
    • 1 ½ teaspoon Salt
    • 5 cups All purpose flour (vary accordingly)

    Instructions
     

    • In a large mixing bowl add sugar, warm water and sprinkle yeast. Let the yeast activate for about 10 mins.
      2 teaspoon Sugar, 1 ½ cup Warm Water, 1 packet Active dry yeast
    • After the yeast is activated, add salt, 1 tablespoon oil, and pumpkin puree. Next, add flour in increments and knead to obtain a smooth elastic dough. The amount of flour you may need may be more or less depending on the weather condition and brand of flour you are using.
      1 cup Pumpkin puree, 2 tablespoon Vegetable oil, 1 ½ teaspoon Salt, 5 cups All purpose flour
    • You may have to knead for atleast 10 minutes for the gluten to develop.
    • Coat the ball of dough with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and cover and let it rise for 45 mins or until the dough has doubled in size. (check tips)
    • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
    • Transfer the dough to baking sheet and let bake for 40 mins.
    • To give an artisan look to the bread, make slits using a sharp knife or a blade, and dust the tops with some flour before baking. 
    • Pumpkin bread is ready. Allow it to cool down completely, slice and serve. Happy Thanksgiving.

    Notes

    • To obtain a nice crust you may place an additional tray with water at the bottom of your oven while baking.
    • I have used store bought pumpkin puree in this recipe.
    • The amount of flour will depend on the brand and weather conditions.
    • I have not leavened the dough after transferring it to the baking sheet. However, if you desire and have time, feel free to give it a second rise until it doubles in size. It only enhances the taste and texture, gives better volume to your bread.

      I tried this recipe tonight. My youngest daughter told me I should open a bakery! I've never made bread before. I've always been intimidated, but my family loved this. Thank you!!

      When I made this, the dough was very wet and sticky. I used pumpkin that I scraped out of a baked pie pumpkin and processed in a food processor. Is pumpkin paste and pumpkin puree two different things? I ended up adding a lot more flour until the dough would form a ball. Let it rise in an oiled bowl, then formed it into a ball again before putting it on the sheet pan to rise again. Your recipe doesn't say anything about letting it rise after it is on the sheet pan. Is that a mistake? Even with the extra flour and added rising time, it was delicious and impressive to look at. I put cinnamon pumpkin butter on the slices. Everyone loved it.

        Thank you for your feedback, and I am glad everyone loved your bread. I think the moisture content in the pumpkin puree might have been the issue. The one that I used for this bread recipe was out of a can, and therefore less moist than homemade version. I also did not have to leaven the dough a second time after placing on a sheet pan. I will add some of your pointers in the tip section - thank you. Do let me know if you have any further questions.

          Thank you for your response. Everyone loved what I made so I'm not sure if I should reduce the water or not, next time. Knowing what you do does help.
