Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons instant or active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup lukewarm milk 113 grams
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1-1/2 cups canned pumpkin puree 340 grams
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 25 grams
  • 6-1/2 cups all-purpose flour 780 grams
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed 106 grams
  • 2-1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Place all of the ingredients into a large mixing bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer.
  • If kneading by hand mix together the ingredients and knead by hand until a smooth soft dough is achieved. If using an electric mixer, fit it with the dough hook and knead until a smooth soft dough is achieved. I used an electric mixer with a dough hook and this took about 10 minutes.
  • Light grease a large mixing bowl and add the dough.
  • Cover and let rise until doubled, about 60-75 minutes.
  • Lightly oil your work surface.
  • Gently deflate your dough and turn it out on the oiled work surface.
  • Shape each half into a loaf, and place in lightly greased 9" x 5" loaf pans.
  • Cover the pans and let the loaves rise until almost doubled, about 45 minutes.
  • Toward the end of the rising time preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Bake the bread for 30 to 35 minutes, or until its crust is a deep golden brown, and a digital thermometer inserted into the center registers about 190 degrees F.
  • Remove the bread from the oven, and turn it out onto a rack to cool. Store completely cool bread at room temperature for up to 5 days.
