Pumpkin yeast bread – notes
I very rarely buy bread in the store – especially bread. I usually make it myself at home.
Now – using autumn harvests – I baked us pumpkin bread with seeds – pumpkin seeds – of course :D
Pumpkin bread is quick to make because we bake it with yeast.
Pumpkin puree gave it an amazing, sunny color and contributed to its greater moisture. Thanks to this, the bread also stays fresh longer and doesn’t dry out.
Ingredients for pumpkin bread and substitutes
To prepare pumpkin bread, you will need a few basic ingredients:
- wheat flour – I recommend type 650 flour here, but if you don’t have it, use type 500 or 550
- natural yogurt – a thick and less watery yogurt will be best – I use Greek yogurt
- oil – it can also be olive oil, or pumpkin seed oil – it will enhance the taste of the bread
- yeast – I used fresh yeast as usual, because I prefer it over dried yeast; if you only have dried, use one packet – about 7 g.
Pumpkin bread preparation – tips
I always start preparing the bread by dissolving the yeast in lukewarm water. In a large mixer bowl, I place all ingredients except water and start mixing on low speed (it’s good if all ingredients are at room temperature). I add the yeast mixture and pour in water. When I knead the bread with a mixer, I am sure that the dough will be well-kneaded and I am not tempted to add too much flour.
Place the prepared pumpkin bread dough, covered, in a warm place for the dough to rise well. If your home is cool, I recommend putting the bowl in the oven – the dough will have optimal conditions there – you can turn on the oven to heat at 30 degrees – then the dough will rise faster.
Take the risen bread dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it, form the dough into a round loaf and cover with a cloth – leave the bread like this for about 30 minutes to rise.
Bake the prepared bread in an oven preheated to 200 degrees.
How to bake bread in a pot?
I baked my pumpkin bread in a pot that I had previously heated in the oven, which gave its crust exceptional crispiness.
You can use any pot that has heat-resistant handles and a lid; it can also be a Roman pot. You just need to soak it beforehand for some time.
If you don’t know how to make puree, I invite you to check out the recipe. Hokkaido pumpkin will be best here because it is not very juicy.
If you use a different pumpkin and the puree is quite moist, it’s a good idea to drain it on a sieve lined with baking paper. Or simply add a little less water.
